What Is a Waterless Pedicure, Anyway?

When people hear "waterless pedicure" for the first time, they usually picture something a little less cozy than a traditional one. We get it. But most guests who try it tell us they don't miss the tub at all.

How it works

Instead of soaking your feet in a basin, we use warm steam and towels to soften the skin. From there, your pedicure looks a lot like what you'd expect: nail shaping, cuticle care, gentle exfoliation, a massage, and polish if you'd like it.

Why we chose it

  • It's cleaner. There's no shared basin to worry about.
  • It's better for your polish. Nails that soak up a lot of water expand, then shrink as they dry, which can make polish chip sooner.
  • It uses a lot less water, which matters to us.

How it feels

Warm, calm, and relaxing. The steam is the part people end up loving most. It's also nice if you have somewhere to be afterward, since there's no waiting around for damp feet to dry.

A note on polish

Pedicures are the one place we offer Dazzle Dry, a quick-drying polish system that's a nice option if you want to walk out in your sandals without worrying about smudges. Regular polish and gel are available too.

Good for everyone

Waterless pedicures are a comfortable choice whether it's your first pedicure or your hundredth. If you have any concerns about your feet, just let us know when you book and we'll take good care of you.
