Pedicure in Tbilisi: classic or gel polish — which to choose and how to care for your feet

Beautiful feet are not only for summer sandals. Groomed nails and soft heels make walking more comfortable, shoes rub less and you simply feel better every day. That is why a pedicure is as much a part of self-care as a manicure.

In this article we explain how the two options differ, who each one suits and how to keep the result until your next visit.

What is a pedicure?

A pedicure is professional care for the toenails and the skin of the feet. The specialist gives the nails a clean, even shape, tidies the cuticles, works on rough skin and prepares the nails for polish. The result is both beauty and comfort: no more rough patches, nails catching on socks or dry, cracked heels.

Classic pedicure

A classic pedicure is complete foot care without long-lasting polish. It is a great choice if:

• you prefer the natural look of your nails;
• you change regular polish yourself at home and simply want a neat shape and smooth skin;
• your nails need a break from long-wear coatings.

Gel polish pedicure

A gel polish pedicure is the same full treatment, finished with gel polish cured under a special lamp. Gel is far tougher than regular polish: it does not chip or fade, and the colour stays fresh for weeks. It is ideal for:

• summer, the beach and holidays;
• open shoes, when your toes are always on show;
• anyone who has no time to redo their polish every few days.

Which one should you choose?

• Classic pedicure — full nail and skin care, no long-wear polish: 35₾;
• Gel polish pedicure — the same care, plus colour that stays fresh for weeks: 70₾.

The simplest rule: choose gel polish for summer and before a trip, and a classic pedicure for the rest of the year if you prefer natural nails. Many clients book a pedicure and a manicure in one visit — it saves time, and hands and feet match.

How to prepare for your visit

• Do not cut your nails or remove cuticles at home — the specialist will do it better and more safely;
• If you are having gel polish, wear or bring open shoes so the fresh coat is not damaged;
• If you have inflammation, a wound or signs of a fungal infection on a nail or the skin, see a doctor first.

Aftercare

1. Moisturise your feet every day, especially after a shower — heels stay soft much longer.
2. Wear comfortable shoes that do not press on your toes — a narrow toe box damages both the polish and the nail.
3. Never peel off gel polish — it can take the top layer of the nail with it. Have it removed at the salon.
4. After the pool or the sea, always dry your feet well, especially between the toes.
