What Is a Dry Pedicure?

A dry pedicure is performed without soaking the feet in water.
This method has become the preferred standard in high-end studios because it is:

  • More hygienic

  • More precise for cuticle and callus work

  • Safer for sensitive or compromised skin

  • Better for polish and gel adhesion

  • Less disruptive to the natural skin barrier

Despite being performed without a foot soak, your pedicure remains warm, relaxing, and sensory, with soothing steps designed to provide comfort and care.

  • Detailed nail shaping

  • Precise cuticle refinement

  • Gentle callus smoothing

  • Exfoliating scrub

  • Warm towel wrap

  • Nourishing massage oil

  • Gel or polish application (optional)

This service is designed to restore comfort, maintain healthy feet, and elevate the overall appearance of your nails.Regular pedicure care supports overall nail and skin health and pairs well with ongoing hand treatments. Many clients maintain consistent results by combining pedicures with BIAB structured gel manicures for nail protection, or IBX nail strengthening treatments when nails are weak or prone to splitting.

Is a dry pedicure as relaxing as a regular pedicure?

Yes — the experience still includes a soothing scrub and warm towel wrap, while offering more precision and hygiene.

Why don’t you soak the feet?

Dry pedicures prevent over-softening the skin, reduce risk of infection, and improve polish adhesion.

Is this safe for sensitive skin or medical concerns?

Yes. Dry pedicures are ideal for individuals with sensitivities, dryness, or compromised skin.

How often should I get a pedicure?

Every 4–6 weeks is recommended for consistent foot and nail health.
