🦶 What Happens During a Spa Pedicure? Step-by-Step Guide
						A spa pedicure isn’t just about pretty toes — it’s a full self-care experience. Whether you’re preparing for sandal season, treating tired feet, or simply indulging in some “me time,” a professional spa pedicure is one of the most relaxing and rewarding treatments you can give yourself.
But if you’ve never had one (or are just curious what all the fuss is about), here’s a step-by-step guide to exactly what happens during a spa pedicure at KDO Nails Studio.
✨ Step 1: Welcome & Consultation
We start by welcoming you and asking a few quick questions about:
- 
Your nail care routine
 - 
Any concerns like dryness, calluses, or sensitivity
 - 
Your preferred polish color or finish (gel, regular, or no polish at all)
 
You’ll be seated in one of our comfortable pedicure chairs, ready to relax!
🛁 Step 2: Warm Foot Soak
Your feet are soaked in a warm, soothing bath with aromatic salts or essential oils. This helps:
- 
Soften skin and nails
 - 
Loosen dead skin
 - 
Begin the relaxation process
 
It’s your first taste of that spa magic — and it feels amazing.
🧼 Step 3: Nail & Cuticle Care
Next, your nail technician will:
- 
Trim and shape your toenails to your preferred length
 - 
Push back and gently clean up cuticles
 - 
Buff the nail surface to smooth out ridges
 
This creates a clean, even foundation for polish and helps maintain nail health.
🧽 Step 4: Exfoliation & Callus Care
We exfoliate your feet and lower legs using a gentle scrub, removing dead skin and smoothing rough patches. If needed, we’ll also:
- 
File away calluses using a foot file or pumice stone
 - 
Focus on heels and other dry areas
 
Your skin will feel noticeably softer and refreshed.
💆♀️ Step 5: Foot & Leg Massage
This is everyone’s favorite part! We apply a hydrating lotion or massage oil and give you a relaxing foot and lower leg massage. Benefits include:
- 
Improved circulation
 - 
Reduced tension
 - 
Pure relaxation
 
Some of our spa pedicure packages include hot stones or hot towels for an extra indulgent touch.
🎨 Step 6: Polish Application (Optional)
If you’d like polish, we’ll:
- 
Apply a base coat
 - 
Add two coats of your chosen color
 - 
Finish with a high-gloss top coat (or gel, if selected)
 
You can also request nail art, French tips, or no polish if you just want clean, healthy nails.

🧴 Step 7: Final Touches & Drying
We finish with:
- 
Quick-dry drops or a gel cure under the LED lamp
 - 
A final inspection to make sure your nails are perfect
 - 
Moisturizing oil on your cuticles
 
You’ll leave feeling refreshed, polished, and ready to show off your beautiful feet!
