Winter traps feet inside boots and thick socks: trapped moisture, calluses, dry skin. The €70 SPA Luxe pedicure (50 min, no polish) combines effervescent soak, scrub, hydrating mask and relaxing massage. With OPI semi-permanent, the package is €85 for 60 minutes.
Nobody looks at their feet in January. They stay hidden for weeks. Yet this is exactly the season they need attention — and the perfect window to take care of them before the spring sandal rush.
Why winter is rough on feet
Three factors stack up between December and March:
- Sealed footwear: leather boots, closed sneakers, wool socks. Skin no longer breathes, sweat builds up.
- Constant friction on heels and forefoot: calluses thicken silently.
- Dry indoor heating at home and at the office: heel keratin cracks, sometimes splits.
The typical mid-January state: rough heels, dead skin on the sides, nails growing in disarray, occasionally a hint of an ingrown nail.
Inside the SPA Luxe pedicure
The treatment runs 50 minutes (no polish) or 60 minutes (with semi-permanent). Step by step:
1. Effervescent soak (5 min)
Lukewarm water with effervescent salts: skin relaxes, pores open, any odour vanishes instantly.
2. Cut and file (8 min)
Rounded-square shape (the safest to prevent ingrowth), fine filing, cuticle work with a boxwood stick.
3. Exfoliating scrub (5 min)
A fine-grain scrub lifts dead skin from the top of the foot and the sides. Skin becomes smooth again.
4. Callus work (10 min)
On heels and forefoot: professional file, never aggressive grater. We thin without weakening — the skin must keep its protective function.
5. Hydrating mask (8 min)
A rich mask is applied and left to work for deep hydration — this is the step that changes everything in winter.
6. Foot massage (10 min)
Hydrating cream massage: arch, heels, ankle, calf. That bounce-back feeling on the way out, guaranteed.
7. Polish if chosen
Either we stop there (no-polish €70), or apply a classic polish (€75), or a 3-4 week OPI semi-permanent (€85).
SPA Luxe vs classic pedicure
The classic foot care without polish at €40 (30 min) is an efficient baseline: cut, file, cuticles, quick hydration. It is the maintenance pedicure.
The SPA Luxe adds soak, scrub, mask and massage. It is for feet that lived through a hard month or simply deserve a true moment of release.
💡 Tip: For double the bliss, pick the hands + feet SPA Luxe combo without polish at €110 (100 min) — a true January cocoon.
Between appointments
Three simple gestures extend the benefit:
- A foot cream every evening on clean skin, focused on heels.
- Cotton socks as soon as it gets cold (wool directly on skin worsens friction).
- Air out your shoes 24 hours between wears — never the same pair on consecutive days.
