Step into spring with a fresh pedicure peeking out from your flip-flops and summery sandals! Here's a list of places where you can get your tootsies done for just under (and perhaps SLIGHTLY over) R380.
Frenchies Beauty Salon
You can find Frenchies Beauty Salon in Sydenham, near Orange Grove. Here, you can pamper yourself with a Full Pedicure for just R300, which includes cuticle care, dead skin removal, soak, and moisturising. And if you want a pedi that lasts, the Gel Full Pedi costs R350, along with the same services. There are also other pampering treatments available if you want to have a full Springtime Makeover!
Vanilla Nail Bar
Located in the heart of Linden, you'll find the Vanilla Nail Bar. All we have heard is great things about this stunning little spot and decided to pay them a visit ourselves. They offer a wide range of services, ranging from manicures, makeup application for events, massages, waxing, micro-brows and even pamper options for the gents and little ones. But today, we're focusing on the pedicure services. Vanilla Nail Bar offers these pedicure options, depending on what you're in the mood for, and your budget:
- Full Pedicure: No Paint – R250
- Full Pedicure: Polish – R300
- Full Pedicure: Gel – R370

Sorbet
We know, a pedi article wouldn't be complete without giving Sorbet a mention! They offer a variety of manis and pedis to suit every budget. A Mini-Me Pedi is perfect for those of us who are always too busy to treat ourselves. It's a quick soak, file, buff and paint and you get to carry on with the rest of your day. But, if you're looking to indulge a little, there are more thorough and relaxing pedi treatments to choose from.

Revive Wellness Spa
Head to Revive Wellness Spa in Highlands North, Johannesburg, for a well-deserve pamper session.
