What the service includes
Start with toes that are bare or wearing regular polish; this service is not for existing gel. Your feet are soaked to soften skin, nails are trimmed and shaped, cuticles are cared for, and rough skin is smoothed. Finally, gel color is applied and cured for a glossy, long-wearing finish.
Because we do not remove gel in this appointment, please pick Gel Pedicure & Gel Removal if you already have gel polish. This keeps the service focused on fresh color application and surface care, avoids risks from improper lifting, and helps your appointment stay on schedule within our typical timing.
How the finish is achieved
The glossy, long-wearing finish comes from applying gel polish that is cured under a LED or UV lamp, which sets the color rather than air-drying. Proper nail shaping and cuticle work create a smooth base so the gel bonds evenly; technicians assess nail condition before applying product to ensure consistent curing.
The appointment is designed to be complete and efficient: book as a 60 MINUTES slot to allow soaking, shaping, skin care, and color curing. The listed price is $78; that covers the full procedure for toes without gel removal so you can plan time and budget around your Cambridge commute or errands.
Scheduling and local considerations
Our Harvard Square location in Cambridge is easy to reach by the MBTA Red Line, bus routes, bicycle, or on foot, making it convenient for students, university staff, and professionals. Many clients schedule appointments before or after classes, work, or shopping in the Brattle Street and Harvard Square area.
Seasonal weather in New England affects foot care needs: humid summers and cold, snowy winters change skin dryness and callus formation, so technicians will adjust rough-skin care accordingly. We serve Cambridge plus Somerville, Watertown, Belmont, Arlington, and Boston, so you can choose a convenient time around transit and local commitments.
