Got a question? We're here! Email us and we'll answer it here, or just read below, someone else may have already asked us!
Q. How long before I can wear regular shoes and socks after a pedicure?
A. Polish can dry to the touch in a manner of minutes, but it takes approximately two hours for four coats of polish to dry completely.
Q. Oops! I forgot my sandals. Do I have to go barefoot?
A. No; we have our totally sexy foam pedicure slippers for you to wear. They will get you to the car, but we wouldn’t recommend that you do much walking around in them.

Summer Pedicures
The sun will be coming out soon (hopefully!), so you know what that means? Sandal season!! Are your feet ready to be on display? If they could use a little love - and let’s face it, it’s been a hard winter…- you might want to start thinking about getting yourself on our books for a pre-summer pedi.
"But no one’s seeing my feet yet, why do I need a pedicure now?" you may ask. Well, winter can be a tough time for toes. They spend weeks at a time, rarely seeing the light of day, hardly getting any fresh air, and it starts to take a toll on your poor tootsies. Calluses run rampant, and the cold, dry air makes your skin feel comparable to a desert wasteland. Add in the fact that they haven't felt a pedicurists loving touch in months, and you've got some seriously sad feet.
Now, our goal is to get them looking beautiful for summer, right? Well, chances are it may take a couple of visits to get them back in working order.

Summer Pedicures Continued:
You may want to start off with our spa pedicure, which includes a delicious dip into some warm, melted paraffin wax that's chock-full of some much needed moisture. The heat not only feels divine, but it opens up all the pores on your feet driving all those oils deep into your skin, for a heavenly hydration that lasts for days after your treatment. Once we've softened them up a bit, we can work on getting your calluses under control over the next couple of visits, carefully taking them back down to their pre-winter condition. Before you know it, you'll be ready to hit the beach, the streets, wherever you're going, in your cutest flip-flops. And since most people wait until the last minute to give their feet some love, you'll be way ahead of the crowd. Be prepared to receive a ton of compliments, especially from your own tootsies, who'll love you all summer long, thanks to your efficient scheduling skills.
P.S. You really want to treat yourself?? Ask Sarah to throw some hand-painted hibiscus flowers onto your toes. Nothing says "summer’s here!" like looking down and seeing your perfect polish topped off with some of her custom made designs.
