What is a manicure and pedicure?
A manicure cares for your hands and nails; a pedicure cares for your feet and toenails. At the salon, both are whitening treatments with nail care and polish — your nails are shaped and cleaned, the hands or feet are cared for, and polish is applied to finish. It is done at the salon in Phase 2, Hayatabad, and it is the part of a salon visit that shows every time you look at your hands.
Hands and feet work hard in Peshawar. Dust, dry air and long days leave nails rough and skin dry, and in winter the cold dries them out again. A manicure and pedicure is the reset: nails shaped, hands and feet cared for, polish on to finish. It is why so many of the salon's clients book a mani-pedi before a wedding function, Eid, or a family event — and why others book it as regular grooming, just to keep their nails tidy.
A mani-pedi is also the simplest salon service to start with. If you have never been to the salon before, it is a gentle first visit — no big decision, no long appointment. And if you are already coming for a facial or waxing, it fits into the same visit, so you leave with hands, feet and face all looked after at once.
Manicure
A manicure at the salon is a whitening manicure with nail care and polish — your nails are shaped and cleaned, the hands are cared for, and polish is applied to finish. Tell the salon when you book if you want a particular polish shade, and it will tell you what is available.
What a manicure covers
The manicure covers shaping and cleaning the nails, care for the hands, and polish to finish. If your nails are uneven or your hands feel rough, say so when you book — the salon will know what your hands need before you arrive.
Pedicure
A pedicure at the salon is a whitening pedicure with foot care and polish — your feet are soaked and cared for, the nails are shaped and cleaned, and polish is applied to finish. Feet carry you all day, and a pedicure is the care they rarely get.
What a pedicure covers
The pedicure covers soaking and caring for the feet, shaping and cleaning the toenails, and polish to finish. If your feet are dry or your nails need shaping, tell the salon when you book, so it knows what your feet need.
Nail care and polish
Nail shaping is part of the manicure and pedicure, and polish is applied to finish. If you have a colour in mind for an event, mention it on WhatsApp before you come, and the salon will tell you whether it has that shade.
Nail art — ask first
For nail art, ask on WhatsApp before you book — the salon will tell you honestly what is available for your appointment, so you know before you come. [CONFIRM: is nail art offered, and what designs are available?] Do not assume nail art is part of a manicure or pedicure; ask, and the salon will say what your booking covers.
| Service | What it covers | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Manicure | Nails shaped and cleaned, hands cared for, polish | Hands that show every day |
| Pedicure | Feet soaked and cared for, toenails shaped, polish | Feet before an event, or regular care |
Who is a mani-pedi for — and who should ask first?
A manicure and pedicure is for anyone who wants their hands and feet looked after — before a wedding function, before Eid, or as regular grooming. It suits every age, and it suits nails that are uneven, hands that feel rough, or feet that have been ignored for months. If you have never had one before, that is fine — mention it when you book, and the salon will keep the first visit gentle.
Tell the salon first if the skin on your hands or feet is sore or broken, or if your nails have a condition you are unsure about — say it when you book, so the salon can tell you whether a manicure or pedicure is right for you now, or whether to wait. That is not medical guidance; it is the salon wanting to know about your hands and feet before it works on them.
What happens in a mani-pedi appointment?
A mani-pedi appointment is a relaxed visit. You pick manicure, pedicure or both when you book, and the visit follows the order below — shaping and cleaning first, care next, polish to finish.
- Choose what you want. Manicure, pedicure or both — tell the salon when you book, and mention any polish shade you have in mind.
- Your hands or feet are prepared. Nails are shaped and cleaned first, and feet are soaked where a pedicure is booked.
- Care and polish. The hands or feet are cared for, and polish is applied to finish.
- Checked before you leave. The salon will show you the finish and tell you how to look after it.
How long does a manicure or pedicure take? [CONFIRM — the salon will give you the time for your booking when you book.] Booking both together takes longer than one alone, so say what you want when you message, and ask what time to keep free.
How much does a manicure or pedicure cost?
A manicure, a pedicure or both — each has its own price, given to you when you book. No prices are printed on this site: WhatsApp or call with what you want done and ask for the price.
What changes the price:
- Manicure or pedicure. Each is priced on its own — both together costs more than one alone.
- Polish. Ask whether polish is part of the service or priced on its own.
- What else you book. A manicure with a facial or waxing in the same visit changes the total — ask the salon for a single price covering everything you book.
Call 091-5839119 or WhatsApp 0313 9333377 with what you want done and ask for the price. Get the price when you book, so it is settled before your appointment — you pay what you were told, nothing more.
How to look after your nails after a mani-pedi
What you can do after a manicure or pedicure depends on the polish and your nails. When the polish is on, the salon tells you how to look after it — what to avoid in the first hours while it sets, and how to keep the finish looking good. Ask when you book, so you know before you leave.
A few things help the finish last. Let the polish set before you do anything rough with your hands, and keep your nails clean and simple in the first day. Do not pick at the polish if it chips — come back and ask the salon what your nails need then. And when the polish starts to wear, book again rather than peeling it off yourself.

Mistakes and myths about mani-pedi
Mistakes to avoid
The most common mistake is peeling polish off when it starts to chip. It takes nail with it, and the nail takes weeks to recover. Come back to the salon instead, and let it be removed properly. The second is booking a manicure for the morning of a wedding function and expecting it to survive the whole day of work — book it close to the event, and let the polish set before the day starts. The third is not saying what you want: if you want a particular shade, or nail art, say so when you book, not when you arrive.
Myths
A manicure does not make nails permanently stronger. It shapes and cares for them, and the result lasts until the nails grow out — how long that is depends on your nails and how they are treated afterwards. A pedicure is not only for summer either: feet need care in winter too, when dry air and closed shoes leave them rough. And one mani-pedi does not fix neglected nails for good — it is regular care, and the nails stay tidy when you come back.
Mani-pedi and other services
A manicure and pedicure sits well beside the salon's other services. Many clients add a facial to the same visit — face, hands and feet, all looked after before an event. It also fits with waxing and threading, so grooming is done in one appointment. And if your visit is for a function, a mani-pedi goes well with party makeup — the look is finished when the nails match the rest.
