How long do you spend on a pedicure?

[EMMA AT ELITE]

Hello All,

Just out of interest wanted to know how long it takes you to do a pedicure?

Just standard pedicure including;

• soak feet
• cuticle work
• cut & file nails
• foot scrub
• hard skin removal
• massage
• varnish

How long do you spend on the foot massage?
How much do you charge?

Love Emma x:hug:x

Hi, it usually takes me an hour to an hour and 15 mins.to complete the steps you described. My timing depends on how much sloughing of callouses I need to do. I've not timed my massage but I've never had any complaints.

1HR 15 MINS for me too and I charge £30 I do 10-15 mins foot massage depending on what state the feet were in.

For a full on CND Raw Earth pedicure, with Callus Peel, I'm looking at about 90mins. I charge £35 for the pedi, and either £15 or £20 for the Callus Peel.
For a "standard" pedi I charge £25 and it takes about 40 mins.

A standard pedicure with the steps you describe will take me 45 minutes (£20) , a full pedi with mask and longer massage I will take up to 1hr (£24).

45 mins to 1 hour, cost £22 - £30 depending on the type of pedicure - basic, luxury or callus buster.

45 mins for a standard and 1 hour for a luxury. I dont have a specific time that I spend on each part of the treatment. If I need to concentrate on removing dead skin then I will cut the massage down, unless of course the client isnt bothered about the dead skin xxx

 

[spakitten]

1hr - Basic pedi
1.5hr - Spa pedi

**Same as kylieb, I spend more time focusing on the problem areas and will cut my time in others.
**You should charge taking into consideration your product costs, and the ambiance of your spa/treatment room (if you are working from home, obviously you would charge less than a five star hotel).

Thanks for all your replies,
I too can take anything between 1 - 1 1/2 hours, it really depends on how much hard skin they have and cuticle work to do.
I am really trying to stick to an hour though,
I charge £18 for my pedicures and £20 for french varnish!
