A regular (classic) pedicure covers the essentials - soak, nail shaping, cuticle care, a quick massage, and polish. A spa pedicure adds extras like an exfoliating scrub, a hydrating mask, a paraffin or hot-towel treatment, and a longer massage. A spa pedicure usually takes 45-60+ minutes versus 30-40 for a classic.
Not every pedicure is the same. Here is what separates a quick classic pedicure from a full spa treatment.
Spa Pedicure vs Regular Pedicure
| Feature | Regular Pedicure | Spa Pedicure |
|---|---|---|

| Exfoliating scrub | Basic | Extended |
| Mask / paraffin / hot towel | No | Yes |
| Massage | Short | Longer |
| Time | 30-40 min | 45-60+ min |
