What You Get With a Dry Pedicure

We prepare toenails and cuticles, smooth rough skin on the feet, and adjust the treatment to what your skin needs. The entire pedicure is performed without soaking.

Detailed Toenail and Cuticle Care

We shape toenails and refine the cuticle area with controlled e-file work, whether you choose a natural finish or gel color.

No Foot Bath or Soaking

We work directly on dry nails and skin, allowing the technician to see rough areas and adjust the treatment throughout the appointment.

Tool Hygiene

Reusable metal tools are sterilized between appointments, while files and disposable abrasives are used once.

Heel Cleaning and Cosmetic Callus Removal

Heel care is included in every pedicure. We smooth rough, dry areas and gradually reduce surface callus without removing more skin than needed. Deluxe Deep Cleaning allows additional attention to very dry heels and thicker buildup.

Heel care before and after a dry pedicure — Detailed Foot Cleaning
We work on dry, rough skin on the heels and feet, focusing on the areas that need care.

Heel smoothing result after cosmetic dry foot care at Mars Nails — Smoother Heels
Surface callus is reduced gradually to make rough areas feel more even while avoiding unnecessary filing.

This is cosmetic foot care, not medical treatment. We do not treat infections or other medical foot conditions.

Pedicure FAQ

Can I get a pedicure with nail fungus?: We don't offer treatment for nail fungus or carry out any medical foot care. If there are signs of a possible fungal infection, your technician may decline the service and recommend seeing a medical professional before your next appointment.
Do I need to book gel polish removal separately for my pedicure?: Removal of regular gel polish from a previous Mars Nails pedicure is included. If the current product was applied at another salon, select the $30 removal add-on when booking.
How often should I book a dry pedicure?: 4 to 6 weeks is a good interval for many clients. Come in sooner if your heels get dry fast, your toenails grow quickly, or your gel polish starts looking grown out.
