Four pedicures in three chairs. Every chair gets a new liner, the basin is scrubbed between appointments, and there is no jetted plumbing in the building for anything to sit in.
The length in the second column is what the booking calendar reserves. The last column is when this service typically wants seeing again, which is a fact about the service and not a sales tactic.
| Service | Length | Price | Come back in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Express pedicure chair | 30 minutes | $40 | two to three weeks |
| Classic pedicure chair | 45 minutes | $52 | three to four weeks |
| Spa pedicure chair | 1 hour | $68 | three to four weeks |
| Gel pedicure chair | 1 hour 15 minutes | $78 | four to five weeks |
A pedicure needs a chair as well as a person. There are three pedicure chairs and six technicians. A pedicure needs a chair as well as a person, so it can be unavailable at a time when a manicure is not.
$40 · 30 minutes · back in two to three weeks
A short soak, nails cut and shaped, cuticles tidied and one coat of colour. No callus work and no massage. It is the sandals-tomorrow appointment.
$52 · 45 minutes · back in three to four weeks
Soak, cut, shape, cuticle work, a scrub, light callus work and two coats of regular polish with a short massage. This is the one most people mean when they say pedicure.
$68 · 1 hour · back in three to four weeks
The classic with a longer soak, a salt scrub, a mask under a warm towel and a fifteen-minute massage. The extra half hour is almost all massage and heat; the nail work is the same.
$78 · 1 hour 15 minutes · back in four to five weeks
A classic pedicure finished in gel instead of regular polish. On toes gel routinely lasts four to six weeks, which is roughly twice what it manages on hands, because toes do not open packaging.
This is the one constraint on this website that is worth reading twice, because it is why the booking calendar behaves the way it does. A manicure needs a technician. A pedicure needs a technician AND one of the three chairs. On a Saturday afternoon there are often people free and no chair free, and the calendar will tell you that rather than booking you in and working it out later.
The basin is lined for every appointment and the liner comes out with the water still in it. Underneath, the basin is scrubbed with detergent between clients. And it is a plain basin: there is no jetted plumbing anywhere in this building, because there is nothing to clean in a pipe you cannot see. That is the whole argument for the chairs we bought.
Callus is there because of how you walk, and taking all of it off means it comes back harder and faster. It is softened, taken down with a file by hand and finished smooth. Nobody here uses a blade. If your heels need more than the light pass a classic pedicure includes, there is a callus add-on with its own minutes on it.
On hands, gel is two to three weeks. On toes it is routinely four to six, because toes do not open packaging or wash up. What brings you back is usually the gap at the base rather than the finish failing, which is worth knowing before you decide it is expensive.
Each of these adds its own minutes as well as its own price, and the calendar adds them up before it looks for a slot.
| Add-on | Adds | Price | Goes with |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nail art, one or two accent nails | 10 minutes | $10 | Manicures, Pedicures, Extensions |
| French finish | 10 minutes | $12 | Manicures, Pedicures, Extensions |
| Soak-off of work from another salon | 20 minutes | $18 | Manicures, Pedicures, Extensions |
| Paraffin dip | 15 minutes | $20 | Manicures, Pedicures |
| Extended massage | 10 minutes | $14 | Manicures, Pedicures |
| Extra callus work | 15 minutes | $22 | Pedicures |
What the calendar does with that
The calendar looks for a 40 minutes window, not an hour. That is the whole difference between this booking form and one that offers everybody the same slot.
Marisol Vega, Thu-Ha Nguyen, Rina Ocampo, Danna Ruiz, Emil Duran and Yelena Boyko. You can ask for a person by name when you book, and the calendar will only offer you times that person is actually working — including their lunch, which is not a slot.
Files and buffers are single use. Files, buffers and wooden sticks are single use and binned in front of you. Steel is washed and steam sterilised, and every pedicure gets a fresh liner.
There are nails we will not work on. There are nails we will not work on, and there is a page that lists them. Being told no at the beginning of an appointment is better than being told nothing and finding out in a fortnight.
Six tables · three pedicure chairs · a published price for everything
Pick the service and any add-ons and the calendar adds up the minutes before it looks for a slot, so the times you are offered are times that actually fit what you asked for. A pedicure also needs one of the three chairs, and if none is free at four o'clock on a Saturday it will say so rather than book you in and hope.
