September 10, 2025We all need a little TLC and self care at times, and pedicures are a great way to achieve that. Here at Tami’s Salon and Spa, we offer different pedicures to fit your needs! Whether you are short on time and need a quick refresh, or you’re looking for the ultimate pampering session, we got you covered!
Choosing Your Pedicure
Here at Tami’s Salon and Spa we strive to tailor each of our services to our clients. That’s why we have multiple options for pedicures! Sometimes multiple options can be overwhelming, so we decided we should break it down to help you find the best fit for you!
So Many Choices!
- Our Polish Only Pedicures are perfect for when all you need is a fresh coat of polish! These pedicures include meticulous nail care, expert cuticle work, and a quick cleanse with alcohol to prep the nails. Finish with your choice of polish from our wide variety colors! Choose regular polish, gel polish, or our gel polish change when you’re ready for a new look.
- Sometimes your toes just need a quick touch-up! Our Toe Trim and Clean Up service is perfect for those in-between moments when all you need is a little maintenance. We’ll expertly trim and shape your nails and neaten up your cuticles. Just a heads-up, this service doesn’t include polish or a foot soak.
- Sometimes you just need a little pampering—especially when you’re short on time! Our Express Pedicure is the perfect solution, giving you a quick boost and a fresh look in no time. This service includes a soothing foot soak, gentle foot scrub, and expert nail and cuticle care. You’ll also get to choose between some much-needed callus work or a relaxing foot massage.
- The ultimate indulgence! Our Spa Pedicure is designed to help you relax and rejuvenate. You’ll enjoy a full-service treatment, including detailed nail and cuticle care, a soothing foot soak, and an invigorating foot scrub. We’ll take care of stubborn calluses and finish with a luxurious hot stone foot massage that melts away stress.
What About Polish?
We didn’t forget about polish, don’t worry! When you schedule your pedicure, you’ll be able to choose a pedicure with Regular Polish or Gel Polish. With our pedicures, we actually apply the polish at different points, depending on what kind you choose. Because regular polish doesn’t completely dry until 24 hours after we apply it, we want to make sure it’s the last step so it doesn’t get taken off by the rest of the pedicure. With gel polish, we actually will put the gel polish on before we soak the feet. This is because we want a clean, dry nail to apply the gel polish so moisture and bacteria doesn’t get trapped under the cured layers.
Preparing for Your Pedicure
There’s not too much that needs to go into preparing for your pedicure, and it’s always a good idea to get some tips and tricks before you arrive. For example, how you dress can greatly affect your experience! We like to encourage our clients to wear clothing that is comfortable. Pants that are easy to roll up to about your knee are recommended. Some clients find it uncomfortable to wear skirts or dresses to a pedicure, and will sometimes even choose to wear shorts underneath. Footwear can also be important if you’re getting regular polish. If you’re getting regular polish we encourage you to wear sandals that wont make your polish smudge. We do offer disposable flip flops with pedicures if you would like to opt for them instead.
Many people feel they need to shave before a pedicure to ensure their legs are silky smooth, and it’s actually better to avoid it. When we shave it leaves tiny little nicks in your skin. These nicks can lead to irritation or infection because of the bacteria that can enter. We like to recommend our clients skip shaving for at least 24 hours before their pedicure appointment. Similarly, we also recommend not waxing their legs for at least 24 hours before pedicures, as waxing can leave skin more sensitive.
Peace of Mind
At Tami’s Salon and Spa, we take sanitation seriously. We don’t skip steps to get more people in. Each of our pedicure chairs, bowls, and jets are sanitized after each client, and receive bi-weekly sanitation cycles on top of that. Our tools are also sanitized after each client to ensure we are giving safe, high quality services to our clients!
When you come in, you’ll also notice we have little menus with information on the back about things we can and can’t touch when it comes to pedicures. This isn’t to shame anyone, in fact, it’s to help inform our clients they may need to get something checked out, keep our professionals safe and our other clients safe. We also love when couples come in for pedicures. It’s so fun to see our clients indulge in self care as a couple! If you prefer to not have polish during your pedicure, that’s okay too! Just select either the Express Pedicure or Spa Pedicure, let us know you don’t want polish, and we will give you the nail and cuticle care you deserve, and spend more time on other parts of the services to fill the time.
