The right pedicure depends on how much time you have, how much you want to spend, and how long you want your color to last, while the right nail design depends on the finish, the shape, and the amount of detail you want. Choose the pedicure first, then the finish, and ask what a design will cost on your toes before the service starts. The table matches five goals to a pedicure style and a finish.

Introduction

Pedicure menus repeat the same few words. Spa, signature, and deluxe all sound alike, yet the package behind each name can include different treatments, run for a different length of time, and cost a different amount.

Two pedicures can both include a massage and still differ in the scrub they use and in whether they end with a wrap or a wax. The steps listed under each name tell you more than the name does.

There are also two separate choices here. A pedicure is the care part: soaking, shaping, smoothing, and massage. A nail design is the look part: the color, the finish, and any art on top. You can pick them one at a time.

Design choices are also where feet and hands part ways. Some services on a nail menu are written for fingernails, such as artificial nail sets. This guide keeps the two apart, so you know which options apply to a pedicure and which you should ask about.

How Do You Choose a Pedicure?

Start by comparing four things: time, price, included treatments, and finish.

Time comes first. Pedicure lengths run from about half an hour to an hour and a half, so the clock can settle the question before anything else does.

Price is next. Look at the starting price, then add anything extra, such as gel polish or nail art.

Then read the description under each name. Some pedicures stop at soaking, shaping, and polish. Others add a scrub, a mask, a wrap, paraffin wax, or a longer massage.

Last, decide how long the color should last. Regular polish and gel polish are different finishes, so decide which one you want before you book.

What Does Each Q Nails & Spa Pedicure Include?

Q Nails & Spa lists six pedicures on its services page. The prices below are the menu’s starting prices, and the menu asks you to check with your technician for specific requests. This is the menu as of October 2026.

The Spa and V.I.P. Cognac pedicures sit 55 minutes and $67 apart. The Spa lists a soak, a scrub, and polish. The V.I.P. Cognac lists extended massage and premium moisturizing treatments. Compare the listed steps and decide which ones you want to pay for.

The QNAILS Special is the only pedicure with no length on the menu, so ask how long it takes if your day is tight.

The menu also has a kids’ section for children 8 and under. It lists a Spa Manicure and Pedicure combo for $32 and a Gel Manicure and Pedicure combo for $53.

Which Pedicure Fits Your Goal?

The benefit wording below comes from the menu itself, not from outside research.

You want something quick. The Spa Pedicure takes 35 minutes and costs $38. The Signature Pedicure adds ten minutes and a mask and wrap for $5 more.

You want a relaxing visit. The Hot Stone Pedicure adds a hot stone massage, which the menu describes as a way to ease tired muscles. The Jelly Pedicure takes the same 60 minutes. The menu says its jelly mixture massages stressed muscles and acts as a gentle exfoliant, and that the jelly, combined with fragrant oils, moisturizes and softens dry or cracked skin. Pick between them by the steps you prefer.

You want color that lasts. The QNAILS Special includes gel polish in its $68 price. The menu also lists gel polish as an extra with any service, so ask whether it can be added to the pedicure you want.

You want a special occasion treat. The V.I.P. Cognac Pedicure is the longest and most expensive at 90 minutes and $105. The menu calls it the pinnacle of foot care and relaxation. Set aside the full time before you book.

Which Nail Design Suits You Best?

The menu does not say which of its design lines apply to toes and which apply to fingers. This section separates what ties to a pedicure from what reads as a fingernail service, so you know what to ask.

Finish and Color on Your Toes

Regular polish is part of the Spa Pedicure. Gel polish is a different finish, and the menu describes it as long-lasting, high-gloss color that stays flawless for weeks without chipping. The QNAILS Special includes gel polish. The menu also lists gel polish with any service as an extra $20, and gel polish without a manicure or pedicure at $27. Because the menu does not state which services the $20 applies to, ask your technician before you count on it.

Nail Art

The menu does not list nail art at a fixed price. It says the price varies and asks you to check with your technician before the work begins. It also does not say whether nail art is offered on toes, fingers, or both. Ask both questions, and agree on the price before the first stroke.

Fingernail Services, If You Add a Manicure

If you pair your pedicure with a manicure, the menu lists a Regular Gel Manicure at $37 and a French or American Gel Manicure at $42. A gel polish change with removal is $32.

The menu also lists artificial nails: acrylic, Pink & White, gel liquid and color powder, Gel X, SNS, and ombre. Acrylic full sets start at $43, SNS at $48, ombre at $73, and Gel X at $78. Fills cost less than full sets. Coffin, almond, and stiletto shapes are listed as an extra $5. The menu files these under artificial and additional nail charges and does not say they apply to toenails, so treat them as fingernail services unless the salon tells you otherwise.

Removal

The menu lists a gel polish soak-off at $10, an SNS soak-off at $10, and an acrylic soak-off at $20. If you plan to change your look, ask what removal costs and whether it applies to the service you chose.

What Should You Know Before a Pedicure If You Have Diabetes?

Ask your doctor about foot care before you book. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises people with diabetes to check their feet every day and not to soak their feet. It also says that if you cannot feel pain in your feet, you may not notice a cut, blister, or sore.

Some pedicures include a soak. The Spa Pedicure lists one, so ask the salon which steps your pedicure includes and take that list to your doctor.

If you have a cut, sore, or blister, or any other foot problem, see a doctor or podiatrist first. A doctor, not the salon, is the right person to say whether a pedicure is safe for you.

What Should You Confirm Before Booking a Pedicure?

Five questions cover the details. If the website does not answer them, call the salon.

1. Which pedicure, and what steps does it include? Read the listed treatments, not just the name.
2. What is the total price? Ask about any gel add-on, nail art, shape charge, or removal fee, because the menu lists these separately.
3. How long will it take? The menu gives a length for five of the six pedicures.
4. Which designs can you get on your toes? Bring a photo, and ask the price before the service starts.
5. Is a technician free when you plan to arrive? The salon takes walk-ins, and a call can confirm the wait.

Conclusion

Pick the pedicure first. Compare the listed steps, the length, and the starting price, and use the goal that matters most to you to narrow the list. On the Q Nails & Spa menu, pedicures run from the 35-minute Spa Pedicure at $38 to the 90-minute V.I.P. Cognac at $105. Then choose the finish, and ask for the full price of any gel, art, or removal before the service begins. If you have diabetes or any foot problem, speak to your doctor before you book. You can see the options in person at 5920 Roswell Rd #A 111-2, Sandy Springs.
