A Guide to Every Type of Pedicure, According to Manicurists

Standard Pedicure

If you’re a seasoned pedicure pro, then you’ve most likely received a standard pedicure before. If you are new to the scene, this is the best place to start. A basic pedicure is truly a go-to if you need a quick and easy appointment with a little bit of pampering and relaxation. 

Treatment Details: Typically, this option will involve a big comfy chair, a large tub with a warm foot bath, scrubs, lotions, and a polish change with a color of your choice. “You’ll usually be presented with a menu of spa-like options and add-ons within this service that range from aromatherapy, exfoliating scrubs, hot stones, foot and leg massages, and warm towel wraps,” says Malarkey.

Cost: Pricing for this option can vary, “depending on the salon, the type of polish used for the service, and the skill level of the technician,” explains Hanna. Typically, a standard pedicure starts at $25 but can range up to $75, especially if you choose any extra treatments. It’s also important to note that the standard service ranges from salon to salon. For example, some salons may offer a short foot massage with their basic pedicure, while others may not.
