The service explained
Check availability for this service
Smart gel pedicure: what to expect
A Smart Gel Pedicure at Ruta Beauty in Manhattan is a waterless foot-care appointment combining e-file cuticle care, toenail shaping, smart foot filing and exfoliation. One gel polish color completes the service, followed by cuticle oil and foot cream.
Toenail and foot care in one visit
The dry technique does not include a foot soak. The appointment addresses the nail outline and foot surface before the gel finish is applied. French, chrome and other listed designs are optional additions to the one-color service.
What does waterless mean here?
The nail and foot care is performed without a soaking stage. This booking includes smart foot filing and exfoliation as well as one gel polish color. If you prefer bare toenails or clear polish, choose Smart Pedicure Regular.
