How long does a hybrid pedicure take? How much time does it take to do a hybrid pedicure?

A hybrid pedicure is a popular beauty treatment that combines traditional foot care with long-lasting nail polish using hybrid gel polish. The procedure can take between 60 to 120 minutes, depending on several factors, such as the scope of care, the condition of the feet, and the experience of the technician.

Stages of a hybrid pedicure:

1. Cuticle care:
   The excess cuticles around the nails are removed using cuticle clippers, a drill, or a wooden stick with a softening product. This step ensures a neat appearance and prepares the nails for the application of hybrid polish.
2. Preparing the nail plate:
   The nail plate is gently buffed using a polishing block. Then, a nail dehydrator is applied to increase the adhesion of the hybrid polish.
3. Foot sole treatment (frezowanie):
   The feet are softened through a water bath with added salts or essential oils. Dead skin and calluses are removed with a pedicure drill, foot file, or scrub. This step significantly enhances both the comfort and appearance of the feet.
4. Nail painting:
   Layers of base coat, color coat, and top coat are applied to the nails, with each layer cured under a UV or LED lamp. This process ensures that the polish lasts for several weeks.
5. Finishing touches:
   After curing the polish, the nails are wiped with a special cleanser to remove the sticky dispersion layer. Finally, cuticle oil may be applied, along with a moisturizing cream for the feet.

Factors affecting the duration of the treatment:

• Condition of the feet: If the feet require intensive care (e.g., removal of thickened skin or calluses), the treatment may take longer.
• Type of sole treatment: Advanced methods, such as using multiple drill bits for different areas, require more precision and time.
• Complexity of the nail design: Simple color application is quicker than intricate designs, such as ombré, patterns, or stickers.
• Experience of the technician: A skilled professional can perform the procedure faster than someone with less experience.

Duration of different types of hybrid pedicure:

• Standard hybrid pedicure: About 90 minutes.
• Express pedicure: 60–75 minutes (a shorter version with limited foot care, e.g., without sole treatment).
• Spa pedicure: 120 minutes or more (including additional relaxing treatments, such as masks, massages, and scrubs).

A hybrid pedicure provides long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing nails for 3–4 weeks. Regular treatments help maintain healthy and well-groomed feet.
