An express pedicure is a streamlined treatment that refreshes and tidies your feet when you are short on time. It focuses on the essentials: smoothing roughness, neat nails, and a clean finish that helps your feet look well cared for and feel more comfortable in shoes.

More information

What the express pedicure covers

This treatment is designed to deliver a noticeable refresh without the time commitment of a full pedicure.

  • Cleanse and warm soak to soften the skin
  • Nail trim (if needed) and shaping for a neat outline
  • Cuticle tidy for a cleaner nail edge
  • Light exfoliation to smooth rough areas
  • Moisturising finish to reduce dryness
  • Polish application or natural buff finish (depending on what you book)

When an express pedicure is the right choice

An express pedicure suits you if you want polished results with minimal downtime. It is ideal before travel, events, or a week of open-toe shoes, and it also works well as a maintenance appointment between fuller pedicures.

What to expect during your appointment

Your feet are cleansed and softened first, then nails and cuticles are carefully tidied. The focus is on quick, precise work, followed by light smoothing and moisturiser, with a finish that fits your plans, whether that is polish or a natural look.

Aftercare and keeping results looking fresh

Moisturise daily, especially around heels and the sides of the feet. If you wear polish, avoid hot baths straight after and be gentle with tight shoes for the rest of the day. Regular maintenance appointments help prevent roughness building up again.

    It is always a pleasure to see Kayleigh. I can't fault any of the beauty treatments that she does from nails to waxing and eyebrow and eyelash tinting to name but a few. I would highly recommend.

    Never been before, was a bit anxious about having a pedicure. But I didn't need to be. Was put completely at ease. The whole experience was lovely. I'll definitely be going back. Thank you Kayleigh. X

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an express pedicure?
An express pedicure is a shorter, essentials-focused treatment for neat, refreshed feet. It typically covers nail and cuticle tidy-up, light smoothing and a clean finish. It is ideal when you want visible results without a longer appointment.
Will my nails be painted during an express pedicure?
Polish can be included if you book it as part of your finish. If you prefer a natural look, a buffed finish may be an option. Let your therapist know what you would like at the start.
Can I book an express pedicure if I already have gel polish on?
If you have gel polish, you may need extra time for safe removal. It is best to mention this when booking so the appointment can be planned correctly. Arriving with gel still on can limit what can be achieved in an express service.
Is an express pedicure enough for very hard skin or cracked heels?
An express pedicure includes light exfoliation, which can improve mild roughness. If you have significant hard skin or heel cracking, a longer pedicure or a targeted callus treatment is usually more effective. Your therapist can advise on the best next step.
How should I look after my feet after the treatment?
Apply moisturiser daily to keep skin soft and reduce dryness returning. Use gentle exfoliation at home a couple of times a week, rather than aggressive scraping. If you choose polish, give it time to fully set and avoid tight shoes straight away.
