What Is a Signature Pedicure?
A signature pedicure at ila Only Spa on Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan is a full-service indulgent spa hotel experience, as the spa sits inside the exclusive Lotte New York Palace. A spa pedicure not only makes your feet look beautiful, but also nourishes your skin and improves overall foot health. Having your feet so cared for and fussed over boosts your spirits.
The licensed nail technicians at this luxury spa apply high-end, spa-quality products with natural ingredients and hydrating creams that soothe and soften tired feet. Whether you have dry heels, sensitive skin or specific requests, the best spa technicians adjust the treatment to meet your needs. Prioritizing safety and hygiene, they take extra time to ensure every detail is perfect, from the expert trim to the flawless polish.
What Does a Signature Pedicure Include?
Your spa pedicure treatment begins by careful trimming and shaping your toenails to the desired length and style, whether square, round, oval or almond. The edges are smoothed and buffed, preparing the nails for polish. After soaking your feet and toweling them dry, your nail tech gently pushes back and trims excess cuticle growth for health and beauty.
Next comes exfoliation, often with a sugar or salt scrub, to slough away dead skin cells and stimulate circulation. The spa nail technician focuses on areas that tend to get dry or rough, like the heels and sides of your feet. Your skin feels baby-soft and refreshed after this step.
In a spa pedicure, your technician uses gentle tools and premium products to smooth thickened skin, creating a balanced texture. This process enhances the overall neatness and visual appeal of your feet and toes. Other touches include:
- Hydrating foot mask or paraffin wax treatment
- Hot towel wraps
- Foot and calf massage
- Polish application
- Finishing flourishes
“Great facility! Started with the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber to increase healing. Then I had a 120 Min. Deep Tissue Massage. After my massage I added on the 30 min. PEMF Red Light Bed 100% recommend adding this on after any service the best $75 you will ever spend! After I relaxed in the waiting area and enjoyed light snacks. Then I went to the women’s lounge and enjoyed the dry sauna and steam room. The facility was newly renovated and very clean. Can not wait to return.“

When’s the Best Time to Get a Signature Pedicure?
If you’re planning a weekend getaway to the spa or to a warm destination where open-toed shoes and sandals are the norm, schedule your signature pedicure a few days before. If you’re getting married, part of the wedding party or just a guest, indulge in a spa pedicure before the ceremony. The treatment guarantees your feet are picture-perfect, with nails polished to perfection.
Seasonal changes affect the condition of your skin, especially on your feet. Cold, dry winter air often causes rough patches and cracked heels, while the summer heat leads to calluses. Getting a signature pedicure during transition periods helps you maintain healthy skin through deep hydration, exfoliation and callus care.
Treat yourself to a signature manicure and pedicure before special occasions to feel refreshed and ready to celebrate. A signature pedicure provides psychological and emotional benefits because it:
- Calms your mind
- Eases stress
- Lifts your mood
- Supports emotional balance
How Often Should I Get a Spa Pedicure?
Ideally, consider getting a spa pedicure every three-to-four weeks. Regular pedicures prevent calluses, ingrown nails and cracked heels from developing or worsening. If your daily routine involves standing or walking for extended periods — whether at work, at the gym or while running errands — you benefit from scheduling a pedicure more frequently, even every two weeks.
Frequent care also eases foot fatigue and softens hardened skin. Schedule your signature pedicure to enjoy expert care tailored just for you. Combine it with a relaxing massage or a refreshing facial to elevate your spa experience to the next level. Contact ila Only Spa today or call 212-303-7777 to book your next spa pedicure.
