Every single person I've taken there has become a loyal customer. So my advice is: find a regular non-spa salon that tries a little bit harder than the average strip mall salon and then get their upgraded service. It will still be cheaper than at an actual spa and minus the chit-chat hopefully!
But that's only at specific places- I've gone to enough places to know which provide the best value. I imagine it varies greatly by location. I agree with the folks above who say that you can find great "cheapo" pedis. Yes, you have to be careful about where you go. But it's worth the effort to find a good place and stick with it. I get consistently fantastic pedis at my current "cheapo" place, and I've paid a mint at some fancy spas for pedis that were emphatically mediocre.
Agreeing that it depends on the cheapo place and the expensive place. Their signature spa pedicure is worth every penny - my feet felt silky for weeks. And they are very careful with sterilization and sanitation. OTOH, one of my friends and I go to a cheapo hole-in-the-wall in Santa Clara and get lovely pedis there too - and they have black, blue and purple glitter nail polish which Bollinger doesn't biggest drawback to that place, only "ladylike" nail colors!
I happen to like purple glitter on my toes! So definitely YMMV. Banks at AM on January 7, Yeah, I was thinking this morning that I used to get great cheap pedicures in Boston. For me it's because I hate feet! Put clients off or make it worth my while Would you charge the same price for your beautiful cuticles as you would for a shellac manicure? I will be adding extra to my spa pedicure but for shellac pedicure your beautiful cuticles I thought would be the same price as shellac manicure but other salons seem to charge more.

But as nail artist Liang of Honey Artists told Teen Vogue , pedicures have been a popular grooming regime long before we started getting them professionally. Fair enough. However, with all the recent controversy surrounding the ethics and labor practices behind nail salons, the pressure to keep up with my constantly chipping nails really started mounting on me.
This is in part due to the fact that wearing sandals or open-toe shoes while commuting to work or summer outings tends to sully our feet with dirt and dust by the time we reach our chic or professional destinations. This service is beneficial to people who have dry or excess callous. This extra service is popular for people who live in a cold, winter climate.
Your feet will be dipped in a melt paraffin wax bath and then wrapped with towels to keep the warmth for 15 minutes. It is supposed to moisten and soften the skin on the feet with the oil in the wax. If you would want this extra service to bring back your softer feet. Your pedicurist can do is lessen the uncomfortable effect of the overgrown skin by trying to scrub it thin with a pumice stone.
All licensed nail technicians studied basic foot massage while they were in nail school so the can offer a basic foot massage. Experienced pedicurists will give you a great foot massage. This is an extra service for a basic pedicure if you want your toenails to be polished. Because you need to dry the polish for at least 20 minutes before you can put on your socks and shoes, do bring a pair of open-toed flip flops so you can leave without waiting for it to dry.
Expect to pay more for this kind of polish but the polish will be completely cured or dry by the end of your pedicure so you can put on socks and shoes. Gel polish is hard to remove but you can take gel nail polish off your toes at home with this simple trick.
The most classic popular look on toenails where thin white lines are meticulously drawn across the toenail free edges. Usually, the designs will be on the two big toenails because they have more areas to be drawn on.
These designs can go from simple to a much more elaborate one. If some of your toenails are not the same length or shape and you want your pedicurist to do her magic work so your toenails can have a more even or uniform look so you can show off you pretty feet in open-toe shoes or sandals, expect to pay extra for this service. Usually, a pedicurist will have to sculpture a free edge, attach a nail tip and trim it to make both toes look the same. Acrylics will be used to strengthen the enhanced toenail.
Not all nail technicians are capable of creating a toenail that looks the same as the other. So make sure you like the new toenail before it is polished.
