Choosing Your Pedicure
Revarnish is the quickest option if your polish just needs refreshing and feet are otherwise in good shape. Reshape & Revarnish adds shaping beforehand for nails that have grown unevenly. Express and Standard Pedicures add deeper foot care including hard skin removal, and the Deluxe treatments add a paraffin wax soak for hydration, with or without polish included.
All six options include proper nail shaping and cuticle care — the difference between tiers is mainly the depth of foot treatment and whether paraffin wax and polish are included. Feet tend to need more attention than hands, particularly hard skin around the heels, which is why the Standard and Express tiers specifically include that stage rather than treating it as optional.
Paraffin wax at the Deluxe tier is especially popular for pedicures, since feet — squeezed into shoes and boots for most of the year — often need more hydration than hands do. Warm wax is applied and left to set before being peeled away, leaving skin noticeably softer, which matters most heading into sandal season or after a winter spent in closed shoes.
If it's been a while since your last pedicure, or you're dealing with noticeably hard or dry skin around the heels, Standard or Deluxe is the better starting point rather than a quick Revarnish, which assumes feet are already in reasonable condition underneath the polish.
Who It's For
Anyone wanting tidy, comfortable feet, whether that's a quick polish refresh or a full treatment before sandal season. Deluxe options suit anyone wanting extra hydration for dry or hard skin, particularly heels that have taken a beating from months in closed shoes. It's a natural pairing with a Manicure or Gel Polish in the same visit, and a popular pre-holiday treatment for anyone wanting feet in proper shape before weeks in open shoes.

Confirming which treatment level and polish colour, if included, and flagging any concerns around hard skin or nail condition.

Preparation & Aftercare
Before Your Appointment
- Wear open shoes or sandals to your appointment if you can, to protect fresh polish on the way out
- Remove any existing polish before arriving if you can, though we can remove it for you if needed
- Let your technician know about any nail or skin conditions beforehand, particularly on hard skin areas
- If booking Deluxe with paraffin wax, avoid any fresh cuts or grazes on feet where possible
Aftercare
- Wear open-toed shoes for a few hours after your appointment if possible, to let polish fully set
- Moisturise feet daily to keep skin soft between visits, particularly heels
- Rebook every 3–4 weeks to keep polish and shape looking fresh
- Avoid tight, closed shoes immediately after a Deluxe treatment while skin is still settling

Pedicure — Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between Standard and Express Pedicure?
Express is a shorter, more streamlined version for when you're short on time; Standard includes fuller foot and hard skin care.
Does Deluxe with Polish include gel polish?
No — that includes standard polish. See our Gel Polish page for gel pedicure options if you want longer-lasting colour.
Can I just get my polish redone without a full pedicure?
Yes — Revarnish and Reshape & Revarnish are exactly for that.
How much does a pedicure cost in St John's Wood?
Pedicures at Lavish start from £15 for a Revarnish, up to £42 for a Deluxe Pedicure with Polish. See the price table below for the full breakdown.
Do you treat hard skin on heels?
Yes — hard skin removal is included as part of Express, Standard and Deluxe Pedicures, and is one of the main reasons clients book those tiers over a quick revarnish.
