On spring eve: treat five months of boots in one appointment. The SPA Luxe pedicure + OPI semi-permanent at €85 (60 min) includes an effervescent bath, callus treatment, hydrating mask and colour. Feet are ready for April and the first sandal. At 7 rue d'Argenteuil, Tuileries metro (Line 1).
The 20th of March marks the symbolic start of sandal season. Yet in Paris, late-March temperatures don't allow it yet. That's a good thing: the 2-3 week buffer before the first warm days is exactly what's needed to bring your feet back into shape. Spring eve is the ideal moment to begin.
What winter left on your feet
Five months in boots or ankle boots means:
- Dry, cracked heels from friction and indoor heating.
- Calluses on pressure points — often forefoot and heel.
- Fragile nails, sometimes yellowed by winter's dark polishes.
- Surface-dehydrated skin, especially around the cuticles.
- Thickened cuticles that stop the nail from growing cleanly.
Nothing unusual: it's the winter effect. But it takes four distinct actions to repair everything — and that's exactly what the SPA Luxe pedicure delivers.
The SPA Luxe pedicure + semi-permanent — step by step
Allow 60 minutes at the salon for the full version at €85. The sequence is designed to move from winter foot to ready-for-daylight foot:
- Warm effervescent bath — relaxes the skin and prepares for callus work.
- Cut and file — regular shape, length matched to your shoe type.
- Cuticle care, gentle pushing back and dead-skin removal.
- Callus removal with fine rasp then smoothing.
- Scrub of the whole foot to even the skin.
- Hydrating mask under warm compress for deep hydration.
- Foot massage — the most relaxing moment.
- OPI semi-permanent application, two coats + top coat, LED cure.
Which colour for spring eve?
On spring eve, we still avoid very bright colours. Shades that work:
- Pink nude or sand beige — universal, lengthens the foot.
- Dusty rose — feminine, lightly spring-like.
- Milk/cream — very chic, legible with any shoe.
Bright colours like coral or red are best kept for April-May, when sandals really come out.
💡 Tip: Our colour-matching tool suggests foot shades adapted to your complexion. We often note that feet handle more saturated tones than hands.
Why eve — and not April?
Booking the pedicure on spring eve has three advantages:
- No visual urgency: your feet are still in boots, you work the basics without pressure.
- Hold until first sandal: OPI semi-permanent lasts 2-3 weeks, perfectly reaching early April.
- Buffer for touch-ups: if a callus returns or a colour chips, there's time to come back.
The home ritual between pedicure and first sandal
Three simple evening habits for the 2-3 weeks that follow:
- Rich foot cream at bedtime, then thin cotton socks.
- Cuticle oil along the nail edge.
- Pumice stone or rasp once a week in the shower to stop calluses returning.
With this routine, your feet will step out of their boots in really good shape — not just presentable, but genuinely cared for.
