Manicure and pedicure are treatments that include care of the fingernails and toenails, tidying of the skin around the nails, exfoliation, massage and moisturising. A manicure is for the hands and a pedicure for the feet; spa programmes often offer them together. Both are cosmetic treatments; for problems relating to nail and foot health they are no substitute for assessment by a doctor or podiatrist.
A manicure is done sitting at a treatment table, and a pedicure in a chair with a foot bath. A typical sequence is as follows:
A classic manicure takes 30-45 minutes and a pedicure 45-60 minutes. Gel polish and artificial nails take longer; if both treatments are to be done back to back in the same appointment, ask about the total time in advance. How often you have a manicure and pedicure depends on how fast your nails grow and the polish used: because fingernails grow faster than toenails, manicures are usually done more often than pedicures. If you use gel polish, it is recommended to give your nails a rest between applications.
In a manicure and pedicure, hygiene matters more than how the result looks; these treatments can carry a risk of blood-borne infections and fungus. Metal tools must be sterilised for each client (in an autoclave), and porous items such as files and buffers must be single-use. Pedicure basins must be disinfected after every use. It is a good sign if sterilised tools are taken out of a sealed pack in front of you. Asking about this is reasonable and normal; you may also prefer to bring your own set.
A manicure and pedicure suit anyone who wants to keep their hands and feet well cared for; in men's grooming, trimming, filing, cuticle and heel care take the place of polish. Particular care is needed in the following cases:
On the site, manicure and pedicure are listed both together and as separate services. The differences can be summarised as follows:
| Service | Scope | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Manicure and pedicure | Hand and foot care in the same appointment | When you want both treatments in one go |
| Manicure | Hands and fingernails | When only hand care is needed |
| Pedicure | Toenails, heel and corn care | When foot care is the main need |
| Spa pedicure | In addition to a classic pedicure, usually a longer foot soak, mask and massage | When relaxation is also an aim alongside care |
| Reflexology | Pressure on specific points on the soles of the feet; no nail care | When only a foot massage is wanted |
The venues on the site offering manicure and pedicure are hotel spas and wellness centres in Istanbul and Ankara; at some hotel spas this service is provided in a separate nail salon attached to the spa area. The main factors that determine the price of a manicure and pedicure are whether a classic or spa pedicure is chosen, the type of polish (regular polish, gel polish, artificial nails), removal of old gel polish, whether both treatments are booked together, and the total time. At hotel spas, whether use of the pool or sauna is included in the price also varies by venue; for a general overview, see the guide to what determines spa prices.
Before booking a manicure and pedicure, it helps to ask:
Metal tools should be sterilised in an autoclave for each client, porous items such as nail files and emery boards should be single-use, and pedicure basins should be disinfected after every use. Asking about this is entirely appropriate and normal; you may also prefer to bring your own set.
Special care is needed. With diabetes a small cut can turn into a serious wound, and because of neuropathy you may not notice the pain. It is recommended that you have the treatment done by a podiatrist or under a doctor's supervision; cutting the cuticles and scraping calluses are not appropriate. Always mention your condition when making your appointment.
A classic manicure takes 30-45 minutes and a pedicure 45-60 minutes. Gel polish adds 20-30 minutes to either; with artificial nails the time is considerably longer.
The cuticle is the skin's natural barrier, and cutting it increases the risk of infection. The preferred method today is to apply a softener and push the cuticles back. Cutting them is not recommended, especially for people with diabetes or circulation problems.
When applied correctly and with regular breaks, it causes no problems for most people. However, frequent application without breaks, especially when it is removed by scraping, thins the nail surface. It is important to give your nails a rest between sessions and to have the polish removed using a suitable method.
See a dermatologist first. Nail fungus is an infection that needs treatment and can spread to other nails or to other people during a treatment. Once it has been diagnosed and treatment has begun, you can have your nails done under the conditions your doctor recommends; you need to tell the venue about your condition.
Hardened skin on the surface and mild corns can be thinned with a file during a pedicure. Deep, painful or stabbing corns, hard patches that may be warts and frequently recurring corns need to be assessed by a podiatrist or dermatologist. Cutting with a blade or razor can cause small wounds and infection; scraping corns is not recommended at all for people with diabetes or circulation disorders.
For superficial cracked heels, a pedicure can help improve their appearance by thinning and moisturising the hardened skin. Regular moisturising at home is needed for the effect to last; if the care stops, the cracks can come back. For deep, bleeding or painful cracks, and if you have diabetes, see a doctor first.
