Let’s be honest—when most people think of a pedicure, they picture bubbly foot soaks, polish, and maybe a massage chair. But at Nota Nail Studio, we’re doing things differently (and way better).
We offer Dry Gel Pedicures—a modern, highly effective method that’s all about precision, hygiene, comfort, and real results. It’s more than just a pretty polish—it’s advanced care for your feet, with a side of relaxation.
If you’re in Boston or Newton and looking for a smarter, cleaner, and more professional foot care experience, you’ve just found it.
What Is a Dry Pedicure?
A Dry Pedicure, also known as an E-file Pedicure, is a waterless treatment that focuses on thorough, hygienic foot care. Instead of soaking your feet, we use specialized tools and techniques to care for your nails, cuticles, and skin—gently and effectively.
Here’s what’s included in a typical dry pedicure at Nota:
- Dry callus treatment using Smart Disks
- Removal of old polish or gel
- E-file pedicure for precise nail and cuticle work
- Nail shaping and gentle buffing
- Optional gel polish application and simple nail art
- Application of high-quality foot care products to hydrate and soften
We offer options with or without gel polish—so whether you’re going for a sleek finish or just want your feet clean and fresh, we’ve got you covered.
Why Choose a Dry Pedicure Over a Traditional Soak?
Classic pedicures with soaking can feel relaxing, but they’re not always the best option. Soaking can over-soften the skin, making it harder to treat certain areas properly—and can even lead to over-filing or irritation.
Here’s why Dry Pedicures are better (and safer):
✔ More precise
Working on dry skin means we can see exactly where care is needed—calluses, rough spots, or nail edges—no guessing, no overdoing it.
✔ Cleaner and safer
No shared water tubs, no risk of bacteria. We use professionally sterilized tools and single-use items where needed. It’s super clean, every time.
✔ Better results
Without the swelling from soaking, your skin responds better to treatments and your polish lasts longer.
✔ Great for sensitive or high-maintenance feet
If you deal with dry skin, cracked heels, thick areas, or just want a gentler experience, dry is the way to go. It’s also an ideal option for those with diabetes or more delicate skin.
