Beyond the aesthetic benefits of well-groomed toenails, a pedicure offers relaxation and rejuvenation. From the soothing foot soak to the meticulous nail care, each step contributes to a relaxing experience. There are many steps to a pedicure that ensure an amazing pampering session.
Relaxing Foot Soak
A pedicure at PURE NAILS begins with a relaxing foot soak, setting the stage for the pampering session ahead. The foot soak serves multiple purposes:
Softening the Skin
Soaking the feet in warm water helps to soften the skin, making it easier for your technician to complete the upcoming nailcare.
Relieving Tension
The warmth of the water relaxes the muscles, relieving tension and promoting a sense of relaxation.
The Exfoliation
Once the feet have soaked, the next step involves exfoliating to promote smoother skin.
Foot File
A foot file is used to address tougher areas of calloused skin. This step not only improves the appearance of the feet but also enhances your overall health.
Foot Scrub and Mask
A gentle foot scrub is applied to remove dead skin cells, particularly on the heels and soles. After your skin is feeling soft and smooth, our very own PURE NAILS foot mask is applied and complemented by hot towels wrapped around your feet.
The Nail Care Ritual
The heart of any pedicure lies in the meticulous care of the toenails. This includes:
Nail Trimming
Our technicians trim your toenails to your desired length, ensuring a neat and cohesive appearance. It is essential to cut the nails straight across to prevent ingrown toenails.
Cuticle Care
Cuticles are pushed back and trimmed to maintain a clean and healthy nail bed. Grab our PURE NAILS cuticle oil to hydrate your cuticles in between appointments!
Shaping the Nails
Our technicians then shape the nails, usually in a square or rounded fashion, based on your preference. This step adds a polished finish to the nails.
Buffing
Buffing the nails smoothens the surface, prepping for the polish application.
The Massage
The massage is one of the most anticipated steps of a pedicure!
Moisturizing Lotion
Our rich and hydrating PURE NAILS lotion is applied to the feet and calves, promoting relaxation and nourishing the skin.
Massage Techniques
Our technicians use various massage techniques to stimulate blood circulation and reduce tension. Add our PURE KEEP IT GOING MASSAGE to enhance the overall sense of pampering!
The Finishing Touch
The grand finale of a pedicure is, of course, the application of nail polish. At our salon, we carry a non-toxic line of regular polish called Peachi and gel polish called The Gel Bottle!
Base Coat
A base coat is applied to protect the nails and enhance the adherence of the polish.
Nail Polish
Clients can choose from our variety of nail polish colors. Whether opting for classic red, trendy pastels, or subtle neutrals, the choice is yours!
Top Coat
A top coat is applied to seal the color, add shine, and enhance the longevity of the polish.
The Drying Process
If using regular nail polish, you are encouraged to allow sufficient time for the nails to dry. If using gel polish that is immediately cured under a UV/LED light and doesn’t require drying time, you are good to go!
The Extra Touch
At PURE NAILS, we offer optional add-ons to enhance your overall experience:
Paraffin Wax Treatment
A warm paraffin wax dip provides deep moisturization, leaving the feet feeling incredibly soft.
Bath Bombs
Add a bath bomb to your pedicure to feel the full effects of self-care! We have different types of bath bombs depending on your need: calming, detox, energize, restore, and uplifting.
Nail Art
For those seeking creative expression , nail art or design can be added to the polished nails. Remember to book your nail art per 15 minutes depending on your chosen design!
From the foot soak to the luxurious massage and the final touch of polish, each step contributes to a sense of relaxation and rejuvenation. As you settle into the plush chair at the nail salon, remember you’re treating yourself to a moment of self-care. So, kick back, relax, and let the skilled hands of our technicians transform your tired feet into a canvas of beauty!Call or text 608-515-4775 or book online to schedule your PURE PEDI appointment!
