Factors That Affect Pedicure And Manicure Prices

Are you tired of the doing your own nails but you are not sure of how much a pedicure or manicure would cost you in your area? Many women, especially those new in an area, face this problem because they don’t know great places that they can trust that offer excellent services at low prices. Here are some of the factors that affect the price for manicure and pedicure.

The materials used by the nail technician

The equipment used by the nail technician influences the price for manicure and pedicure greatly. Most of the high end nail technicians invest a lot of money in their craft. The common equipment used includes nail clippers, nail files, brushes, and different products for painting and caring for nails. The price varies in the brands used by nail technicians. Technicians who use high end brands can’t match the prices of other technicians that use lower priced brands.

The location of the nail salon

Prices between salons and other places that offer nail services vary greatly. High end services can be found in hotel and resort spas. Independent salons found in the streets offer services for lower prices. There are many reasons why spas charge higher, but their materials and equipment used are not much different than those found in salons. Some may offer more exotic treatments like stone pedicures and these novelty services can be more expensive than the common ones. The primary aim of increasing the prices is to make their place more exclusive compared to other nail salons and centers.

Other services that you want done

Sometimes it’s not the price for manicure and pedicure that you should be worried about. If you haven’t had your nails done by professionals for a very long time, you may be surprised by the wide range of services offered in spas and salons nowadays. Nail technicians, aside from taking care of nails, are also taught to upsell by suggesting other services to their clients. Some of them are great at convincing you to take on the other services. If you are going to the spa, make sure that you have a list of the services that you want done and stick to that list to avoid over spending.

The professional fee of the technicians

If you go to spas where celebrities go to have their nails done, you will realize that some technicians charge higher for their professional fees. If a particular technician has worked for high end places in the past, that technician is more likely to charge a higher price for manicure and pedicure. There are cheaper technicians who are just as skilled but don’t have as much clout in their name.
