Pedicure at the Diva salon in Kyiv
A pedicure is a comprehensive care for the feet and nails that combines aesthetics, hygiene and the health of the legs. Well-groomed feet are not only a beautiful look in open shoes in summer but also prevention of cracks, calluses, ingrown nails and unpleasant odor. At the Diva salon a pedicure is done by experienced masters in compliance with all rules of sterility, in a calm spa atmosphere. The procedure is chosen individually, taking into account the condition of the skin and nails, so it suits both regular care and solving specific problems. Besides the treatment, you get a pleasant massage and a feeling of rest. You can book at a convenient time, and the salon is located in the city center.
Types of pedicure
The salon offers different types of pedicure for your needs. A classic, or trim, pedicure is performed with steaming in a foot bath and treating the cuticle and hard skin with a tool, a familiar and proven option. A hardware pedicure is done without soaking, using bits of different attachments; it is gentle and well suited to dry or sensitive skin. A combined pedicure combines the advantages of both techniques: hardware treatment of the skin and neat work with the nails and cuticle. Separately there is a spa pedicure with care stages and massage, as well as work with problem feet, cracks and calluses. The master will advise which format suits you.
What a spa pedicure includes
A spa pedicure is an extended care procedure aimed not only at aesthetics but also at the condition of the skin. It usually includes a warm foot bath, a peeling to exfoliate hardened cells, a nourishing or moisturizing mask and a foot massage. The massage improves blood circulation, relieves fatigue and swelling after a day on your feet. Thanks to the masks and creams, the skin becomes soft, moisturized and well-groomed for a long time. This format is especially pleasant in summer and after long strain, and also as a gift to yourself for full relaxation. On request the spa care is complemented with lasting nail coating.
Hardware and combined pedicure: what is the difference
A hardware pedicure is performed dry, without a foot bath, treating the skin and nails with special bits. It is precise, gentle, does not injure the skin and is well suited to those with thin, dry or sensitive skin, and also with diabetes, when especially careful care is needed. A combined pedicure combines hardware treatment of the feet with classic work on the cuticle and side ridges using a tool. This option gives the neatest result and is often optimal for most clients. Which method to choose will be suggested by the master after examining the feet.
Nail coating: gel polish or regular polish
You can finish a pedicure with different coating options. Regular polish suits a one-time look, for example for a specific event; it dries quickly but does not last long. Gel polish is a lasting coating that keeps its color and shine for several weeks, does not chip and is easy to care for, so it is often chosen for summer or a holiday. Before application the nails are shaped, and the coating goes on evenly and neatly. On request you can have a clean single color or add a simple design. The master will help choose a shade and an option that suits you.
How the procedure goes
First the master examines the feet and nails and chooses a suitable type of pedicure. Then, if needed, a foot bath is made or a product is applied to soften hard skin, after which the skin, heels and areas of calluses are treated. Then the nails are shaped, and the cuticle and side ridges are carefully worked. At the end nourishing products are applied, a foot massage is done and, if you wish, the nails are covered with polish or gel polish. The whole procedure usually lasts about an hour, goes comfortably and ends with a feeling of lightness.
How often to do a pedicure
The frequency depends on the condition of the feet, the season and the type of coating. On average a pedicure is recommended once every 3-4 weeks to keep a tidy look and prevent hardening of the skin. In summer, in the open-shoe season, many people come more often, while in winter rarer visits for care are enough. If the nails are covered with gel polish, you are guided by the wear time of the coating, usually 3-4 weeks. With a tendency to cracks or calluses, regular care helps keep the feet in good condition. The master will advise a schedule convenient for you.
Hygiene, sterility and care at home
Safety and sterility are the basis of a quality pedicure. At the Diva salon the tools undergo disinfection and sterilization, and disposable materials are used only once, so the procedure is safe for your health. This is especially important for the prevention of fungus and infections. To extend the result at home, it is useful to regularly moisturize the skin of the feet with cream, gently exfoliate hard skin and wear comfortable shoes. If cracks or calluses appear, you should not let the situation get worse and better come for care in time. The master will give individual recommendations for your skin type.
The price of a pedicure and booking
The cost of a pedicure at the Diva salon depends on the chosen type, the complexity of the work with the feet and the coating option, so spa programs and work with problem areas are calculated separately. The administrator will tell you the exact price and duration when booking. To book a pedicure in Kyiv, call us or leave a request through the form on the website, and we will find a convenient time.
