Which are add-ons to a basic pedicure?

  1. Foot massage

  2. Foot soak

  3. Nail art

  4. Paraffin treatment

The correct answer is: Foot soak

A basic pedicure typically includes essential steps such as nail trimming, foot soaking, skin exfoliation, and polish application. Among the options listed, a foot soak is generally considered a standard part of this foundational service, rather than an add-on. Add-ons to a basic pedicure enhance the experience and provide additional benefits, catering to clients' desires for relaxation and luxury. For instance, options such as a foot massage, nail art, and paraffin treatments, while not part of a basic service, are popular add-ons that customers may choose for further pampering. A foot massage offers enhanced relaxation, nail art allows for creative expression, and a paraffin treatment moisturizes the skin and provides a soothing effect. Understanding the difference between what constitutes a basic service and what can be offered as an enhancement is crucial for nail technicians in meeting client expectations and delivering customized service experiences.
