What is the typical duration of a basic pedicure in a salon that does not include a leg massage?

  1. 15-30 minutes

  2. 30-45 minutes

  3. 45-60 minutes

  4. 60-75 minutes

The correct answer is: 30-45 minutes

A basic pedicure typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, which allows enough time to effectively clean, shape, and polish the nails, as well as to care for the skin on the feet without the added time needed for a leg massage. During this duration, the nail technician can perform essential tasks such as soaking the feet, exfoliating dead skin, trimming and filing the nails, and applying polish. If a leg massage were included, the appointment would generally take longer, extending the time significantly. The other options suggest durations that are either too short or too long for a typical basic pedicure without extra services. Therefore, the 30 to 45-minute span is recognized as the standard for providing quality care while maintaining efficiency in a salon setting.
