Gel Pedicure on 16th Street: What It Costs, How Long It Takes and How Long It Lasts

The short answer

At Element Nail Bar on 16th Street, a gel pedicure is not a separate service. You pick any pedicure on our menu and add gel polish for $15. So the price depends on the pedicure you choose, and the gel finish is the same $15 every time.

Why guests switch to gel on their toes

Phoenix is a sandal city almost all year. Regular polish looks great when you walk out, then meets pool water, closed shoes at work and a long weekend. A chipped big toe is a small thing, but you see it every time you look down. Gel polish is cured under a lamp, so it is dry and hard before you put your shoes back on. No smudges on the drive home, and the shine holds.

A real example

Say you have a wedding on Saturday and a beach trip the week after. You book the Organic Spa Pedicure with gel polish on Thursday. That is $65 plus $15, so $80, and 50 minutes in the chair plus a little time for the gel. You walk out with dry, glossy toes that are ready for both weekends, and you do not think about them again.

If you only have a lunch break, the Classic with gel is $50 and the shortest visit on the menu.

How long does gel polish last on toes?

Longer than regular polish, and usually longer on toes than on hands, because toes take less wear. Many guests keep a gel pedicure until the nail grows out and they want a fresh color. How long yours lasts depends on your shoes, how much time you spend in water and how fast your nails grow. Ask your nail artist what to expect for you.

One rule: do not peel gel off. Peeling can take a layer of your nail with it. If you are wearing gel when you come in, tell us when you book so we can plan time to take it off.

Who a gel pedicure suits

• You wear sandals most days and hate chips.
• You have a trip, a wedding or the holidays coming and want polish that keeps up.
• You go straight back into closed shoes and cannot wait for polish to dry.
• You like a high shine that stays.

If you like to change your color every week, regular polish is easier to swap.
