It’s around this time of year when the heat sets in and I only want to wear open-toed shoes. You know what that means – it’s pedicure season! If you’re looking to get your tootsies in shape, here are some of the best pedicures in Salt Lake (and beyond).

Soleil Nail Studio

Ever heard of a dry pedicure? Soleil on 100 South have ‘em! It’s the same great pedicure without soaking your feet in water.

Coco Art & Spa

If you’re looking to spend some one on one time with a family member, this beach resort-style spa near 9th & 9th is a perfect place to treat your mom (or sister).

The Grand Spa

Book one service and you can use the spa’s amenities for the day (indoor/outdoor pool, steam room, etc.). The grand pedicure comes with an enzyme peel and leg and foot massage. Monday through Thursday they offer discounts to Utah residents!

Nail It Spa

Many of the best nail salons can be found in your neighborhood strip mall. A few years ago, this spa in Sandy had a video go viral when someone captured a sweet interaction between a nail tech and her client.

New Image Day and Med Spa

City Cast Salt Lake executive producer Emily Means recommends this spa for all of our friends in Ogden: "I took my sister here for a birthday pedicure, and it was super relaxing. The service was great, and they offered us tea and frozen grapes! Luxurious."
