We do three pedicures at US Nails: Essential $30, Signature $40, and Oasis $55. The Signature is the one most people book — you pick a scent when you sit down, and it carries through the whole thing.
The three, and who each one is for
They are not better and worse. They are different amounts of treatment, and which one you want depends mostly on what Florida has done to your feet since the last time.
All three take about an hour. The step up buys you more treatment, not more time in the chair.
Pick your scent — what that actually means
It is the part of the Signature people remember, and it is not a gimmick. You choose one of four at the start, and it runs through the soak, the scrub and the massage rather than being sprayed on at the end.
- Lavender — to unwind. The one to pick at the end of a long week.
- Mint — to refresh. Cooling, and the favourite in August.
- Citrus — to wake up. Bright, and the one people choose in the morning.
- Green tea — to reset. The quietest of the four.
Why Florida is hard on a pedicure
There is no off season for feet here. Sandals and flip-flops most of the year mean more sun, more dust, more dry skin, and more chances to chip fresh polish before it has set. Add pool chlorine and beach sand and you have the exact conditions that produce cracked heels and calluses that keep coming back.
That is the practical reason we point most people at the Signature rather than the Essential. The callus treatment and the softening mask deal with the dry, rough skin at the root, so the smooth result holds longer instead of looking tired again in ten days.
Two things extend it further than anything we can sell you: moisturise your feet at night, and give fresh polish a few hours to harden before you put sandals on. Both are free.
How often to come in
Every three to four weeks suits most people. In peak sandal season, or if you are on your feet all day, every two to three weeks keeps you ahead of the cracking rather than recovering from it. If it has been a long while and your feet need real rehab, start with an Oasis to reset, then keep it up with the Signature or Essential.
What to expect when you come in
Grace does not rush anyone, and that includes the pedicure chairs. If your feet are sensitive, or you would rather the callus work was gentle, say so — that is normal and nobody will make you feel awkward about it. We are also glad to have you if you have never had a pedicure before and are not sure what to ask for; tell us what your feet are doing and we will tell you honestly which of the three you need.
We are family-run and have been at 7233 Forest Oaks Blvd for 23 years. Most of our regulars come from Timber Pines, Wellington at Seven Hills and Glen Lakes in Weeki Wachee, and plenty drive over from Brooksville. Walk-ins are welcome; if you would rather have a set time, call (352) 686-5330.
