What is a gel pedicure?
A gel pedicure combines a thorough foot and nail treatment with the application of long-lasting gel polish, cured under a UV or LED lamp. Unlike standard polish, gel pedicures resist chipping and keep their high-shine finish for weeks. The treatment includes nail shaping, cuticle care and a smooth, polished result.
Gel pedicures are one of our most popular treatments for clients wanting durable colour with minimal upkeep.
Complete the look by pairing your pedicure with gel nails.
Which nail service should you choose?
A gel pedicure and our hand services use the same cured gel idea, but they are applied to different nails and they wear differently, which is usually what decides it.
| Compared on | Gel pedicure | Gel nails | BIAB |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A foot and nail treatment finished with long-lasting gel polish, cured under a UV or LED lamp. | A coloured gel polish applied thinly to the natural nail and cured under a UV or LED lamp. | Builder In A Bottle, a soak-off builder gel applied as a strengthening overlay over your natural nail. |
| Where it is used | Toenails. | Fingernails, as a manicure. | Over the natural nail. Our price list does not state toes or fingers, so please ask when you book. |
| How long it lasts | Typically four to six weeks, often longer than a gel manicure because toenails grow more slowly. | Two to three weeks before removal or a refresh. | Two to three weeks before an infill. |
| What it includes | Nail shaping, cuticle care and a gel polish application, finished with a glossy top coat. | Gel polish applied thinly to the natural nail, finished with a high-shine top coat. | A builder gel overlay that supports the nail as it grows, finished with a high-shine, long-lasting top coat. |
| Price at Therapy | Gel Pedicure £40. | Gel Only £32. | BIAB and Gel £35. BIAB with Tips £45. |
Nail art can be added to any of these from £5, priced by the design, and it lasts as long as the manicure or pedicure underneath. Please mention it when you book so we can allow the time.

When a gel pedicure is not the right choice
A gel pedicure suits most people who want durable colour with little upkeep, but it is a cosmetic treatment rather than a medical one, and there are times we would ask you to wait.
Please contact us before your appointment if you have:
- A suspected fungal nail infection
- Broken, bleeding or inflamed skin
- Significant swelling or pain
- Pus or another sign of infection
- A recently injured toenail
- A rash, or a previous allergic reaction around the nails
Covering a possible infection with gel does not treat it and makes any change harder to monitor. The NHS advises speaking to a pharmacist or GP about a suspected fungal nail infection, particularly if it is spreading or you have diabetes or a weakened immune system.
If you have diabetes, neuropathy, poor circulation or a history of ulcers, please speak to your podiatrist or healthcare team first and let us know before treatment. A beauty pedicure is not a substitute for clinical foot care from a qualified podiatrist.
A gel pedicure is also the wrong booking if what you need is product taken off. We do not remove or infill nail products applied by other salons, so please have existing product removed by the original salon before your appointment.
Good to know
Before your appointment
Please let us know at the time of booking if nail art is required, as additional appointment time may be needed. We do not remove or infill nail products applied by other salons.
If you're unsure which service to book, our team will be happy to talk it through when you get in touch.

FAQs
Gel Pedicure FAQs
When applied and removed correctly, gel polish should not damage your natural nails. Our technicians use professional products and gentle techniques to protect nail health.
To keep your gel pedicure looking its best, we recommend moisturising your feet daily, using cuticle oil and avoiding tight or rubbing footwear immediately after your appointment.
