What is Nail Care?

Hands and feet need consistent attention — not just for appearance, but for the health of the skin and nails themselves. PIED-DE-POULE offers a complete range of nail care services, covering everything from routine upkeep to restorative treatments and decorative finishes.

Manicure and Pedicure

Manicure and pedicure form the foundation of nail care at the salon. Both cover cuticle treatment, nail shaping, plate preparation, and a choice of finish — natural, gel, shellac, French, or ombre. Sessions run approximately 60 to 75 minutes. Clients who want more thorough foot care from a clinical perspective can book with the podiatrist, whose work addresses harder skin, nail condition, and foot health beyond standard cosmetic treatment.

Gel Coatings and Removal

Shellac nail treatment is a long-wearing gel coating cured under a lamp, available in a wide range of colours and finishes. It typically lasts two to three weeks without lifting or chipping. Safe gel polish removal is included as a standalone service for clients who want the coating taken off between appointments without rebooking a full manicure.

Length and Reinforcement

Nail extension adds length using gel or acrylic, built over tips or forms. Available in standard, long, and extra-long formats. For grown-out sets, nail infills maintain the existing extension by refilling and reshaping the regrowth area without full removal — a faster and less disruptive option between full sets.

Nail Art and Design

Nail airbrushing produces gradients, patterns, and detailed designs using an airbrush tool directly on the nail surface. It is available as a standalone service or added onto any manicure or extension appointment. Design complexity ranges from a single accent nail to a full set.

Spa and Massage Treatments

Hand and foot spa treatments go beyond the nail itself — scrubs remove dead skin, masks replenish moisture, and heated glove treatments deliver deep conditioning to the skin of the hands. Feet receive the same range of spa options. Hand and foot massage is available as a standalone service or added to any appointment, working through the muscles of the palm, fingers, arch, and ankle to ease tension and improve circulation. Sessions last approximately 20 to 30 minutes when booked separately.

How the Nail Care Is Performed at PIED-DE-POULE

Consultation

The technician or podiatrist assesses the current condition of the nails, skin, and cuticles before starting. The preferred services, finish, and any add-ons are confirmed at this point.

Nail Shaping and Cuticle Treatment

Nails are filed to the agreed shape and length. The cuticle is treated according to the service booked — this step applies to both manicure and pedicure, and sets the foundation for everything that follows.

Coating, Extension, or Natural Finish

Gel, shellac, or regular polish is applied once the nail plate is prepared. For extension appointments, length is built at this stage using gel or acrylic over tips or forms. Clients opting for a natural finish receive a buffed, clean result with no product applied.

Nail Art and Design

Airbrushing, French lines, ombre effects, or detailed nail art are completed after the base coating is in place. Design work is done before the final seal coat is applied.

Spa and Massage

Scrub, mask, or heated glove treatment is applied to the hands or feet. Hand and foot massage follows if included in the booking, working through the palm, fingers, arch, and ankle.

Aftercare and Rebooking

The technician advises on home care — cuticle oil use, products to avoid, and when to return. Gel and shellac coatings are typically maintained every two to three weeks; extensions are corrected every three to four.

Why Choose Nail Care at PIED-DE-POULE

Hands and Feet in One Visit
Manicure, pedicure, spa treatments, and massage can all be booked within a single appointment. Clients leave with both hands and feet fully treated without needing to schedule separate sessions.
Spa Care for Skin, Not Just Nails
Hand and foot spa treatments at PIED-DE-POULE include scrubs, nourishing masks, and heated glove conditioning — services that address the skin surrounding the nail, not only the nail plate itself. The result is visibly softer skin alongside a polished finish.
Sterilised Tools and Professional Products
All reusable instruments go through a full three-stage sterilisation process between every client, and are presented sealed at the start of each appointment. The products used across all nail services are professional-grade, selected for both performance and safety on the nail plate and surrounding skin.
Experienced Nail Technicians
Each specialist at PIED-DE-POULE works consistently within their area — manicure, pedicure, extensions, or podiatry — rather than covering all services interchangeably. Clients receive results from practitioners who perform their specific techniques daily.

FAQ

What is the best Nail Care treatment for weak or damaged nails?

A conditioning or nourishing treatment focuses on restoring plate health before any coating is applied. IBX nail treatment works within the nail structure itself and is effective for nails that have thinned or peeled from repeated gel use.
Can I combine a manicure and pedicure in the same visit?

Yes. Booking both services together in one appointment is one of the most common combinations at PIED-DE-POULE and covers hands and feet in a single visit.
Can I book nail care without any colour or coating?

Yes. Conditioning treatments, nourishing sessions, and natural buffed finishes are available across all manicure formats. The Japanese manicure in particular is designed to leave nails looking polished with no colour applied.
Do you sterilise tools for Nail Care treatment?

Every reusable instrument goes through a full three-stage sterilisation process — disinfection, manual cleaning, and dry-heat sterilisation. Tools arrive sealed at the start of each appointment.
