How much does a pedicure cost? In 2026, a basic pedicure generally runs about $25–$45, while a spa or deluxe pedicure typically costs around $40–$70, with gel polish adding roughly $10–$20.<\/strong> Your final price depends on the salon, your city, and any add-ons. In West Palm Beach, you can also get a supervised student-salon pedicure for far less — starting at just $15 at The Beauty Institute. Here is what drives pedicure pricing and how to choose the right option for you.<\/p>\n

What makes a pedicure cost more (or less)?<\/h2>\n
\n
Salon type<\/strong> — a high-end day spa charges more than a neighborhood nail bar or a school clinic.<\/li>\n
Location<\/strong> — prices vary by city and even by neighborhood.<\/li>\n
Add-ons<\/strong> — paraffin dips, sugar scrubs, callus treatments, and nail art each add to the total.<\/li>\n
Polish choice<\/strong> — gel and specialty finishes cost more than regular polish.<\/li>\n
Tips<\/strong> — a 15–20% tip is customary on top of the service price.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Why do student-salon pedicures cost less?<\/h2>\n
At a training school, services are performed by students who are completing their state-required hours under the supervision of licensed instructors. You get a genuine, sanitary pedicure at a lower price, and students get real-world experience on real clients — it is how the next generation of nail professionals learns the craft.<\/p>\n
Thinking of doing pedicures for a living? Become a nail technician<\/h2>\n
If pedicures and nail art appeal to you, becoming a licensed Nail Technician is one of the fastest ways into the beauty industry. In Florida, a Nail Specialist license requires 240 training hours — far fewer than a full cosmetology license — so you can finish in just a few months. Our Nail Specialty program<\/a> covers manicures, pedicures, nail extensions, sanitation, and advanced nail art. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook<\/a>, demand for manicurists and pedicurists has grown steadily, and earnings climb with tips and a loyal clientele.<\/p>\n
Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n
How much should I tip for a pedicure?<\/h3>\n
A tip of 15–20% of the service price is standard, and more for exceptional service or complex nail art. Tipping at student salons is appreciated but always optional.<\/p>\n
Is a gel pedicure worth the extra cost?<\/h3>\n
Gel polish resists chips and keeps its shine for two to three weeks, versus about a week for regular polish. If you want longer wear between visits, the $10–$20 upgrade is usually worth it.<\/p>\n
How often should I get a pedicure?<\/h3>\n
Every four to six weeks is typical for maintenance, though people who are on their feet a lot, wear open-toe shoes in Florida’s climate, or have thick calluses may go more often.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between a basic and a spa pedicure?<\/h3>\n
A basic pedicure covers soaking, nail shaping, cuticle care, and polish. A spa or deluxe pedicure adds extras like an exfoliating scrub, a mask, and a longer massage — which is why it costs more.<\/p>\n
Can I get a pedicure at a beauty school?<\/h3>\n
Yes. The Beauty Institute in West Palm Beach offers pedicures and other nail services through its supervised student salon at reduced prices. Call to book an appointment.<\/p>\n
