When my boss assigned me to compare an expensive pedicure to a cheaper one, my feet were thrilled — they practically ran out from under my body to start researching where to go. Finding an expensive pedicure in NYC took all of 10 minutes. A quick Google search for “most luxurious pedicure in NYC” led me to a $120 caviar service at The Ritz-Carlton’s La Prairie spa. To find a $20 pedi, I hit the streets and looked for a clean shop with a sweet deal. So what does an extra Benjamin add to the pedicure experience? Let’s take a walk. I needed a pedicure and I needed one fast. I already knew this pedicure would exceed the standards of a simple nail appointment. According to the spa menu, a La Prairie Caviar Luxe Pedicure is “all the luxury and brilliance of The Perfect Pedicure combined with a relaxing foot and lower leg hot stone massage with a Skin Caviar Luxe Soufflé Body Cream finale.” Um, yes please. Pure magic. Do you think the Kardashians get facials for their feet, too? The best part of this polish? The formula is quick-drying (15 minutes) and requires no time under a dryer. Gaze upon this $120 caviar pedicure. Hydrated feet? Check. Polish-free cuticles? Check. A relaxed body and mind? Double check. The day after this blissful nail service, my legs and feet felt silky smooth to the touch. Was it from the caviar extract? The hydrating mask? A combination of everything? Who knows, but I couldn’t stop caressing my legs. But unfortunately, all good things must come to an end… Note: I passed on the callous remover because it cost $10 extra and I wanted to stay true to the $20 pedicure experience. sad face The expensive pedicure was an elaborate steak dinner with a full-bodied red: lavish and delicious, leaving you more than satisfied. The budget-friendly pedicure was a Chipotle bowl to-go: quick and tasty, but leaves you wanting more a few hours later. And just like guac, callous remover is extra.
