Ocala Pedicure Services That Put Your Feet First
Your feet work hard, especially in Florida's heat. Walking around downtown Ocala, standing all day at work, or just dealing with our humid weather takes a toll on your feet. That's why we offer pedicure services designed to refresh, repair, and beautify.
Our Spa Pedicure is the ultimate relaxation experience. You'll soak your feet in a warm bath, get gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin, have your cuticles cared for, enjoy a soothing massage, and finish with your choice of polish. It's perfect when you need serious pampering. This service takes about an hour and leaves your feet feeling brand new.
The Signature Pedicure gives you all the essentials at a great value. You still get the soak, nail shaping, cuticle care, and polish application that makes your toes look beautiful. This is our most popular option for clients who want regular maintenance without breaking the bank.
Both pedicures are done in comfortable massage chairs that help you relax while our nail specialists work their magic. Many of our clients from The Villages and Belleview make the drive to Ocala specifically for our pedicure services because they know the quality they'll get.
Ocala Manicure Options for Every Style and Budget
Clean, polished nails make you feel put together. You might work in healthcare at one of Ocala's hospitals. Maybe you run your own business. Or you just like looking your best. We've got manicure services that fit your lifestyle.
Our Spa Manicure includes everything you need for gorgeous hands. Your nails get shaped and buffed, cuticles get professionally trimmed, you receive a relaxing hand massage, and finish with polish that's applied perfectly. The whole experience is calming and leaves your hands looking fantastic.
The Signature Manicure is ideal if you're on a schedule or budget but still want professional results. You get expert nail shaping, cuticle care, and beautiful polish application without the extras. It's quick, affordable, and perfect for regular upkeep.
Want polish that lasts longer? Try our Shellac Manicure. This gel polish stays chip free for up to two weeks, even if you're washing dishes, working with your hands, or spending time at the barn. It's especially popular with our clients who have active lifestyles or work with horses in Ocala's equestrian community.
Add a French Polish finish to any manicure for that classic, elegant look that never goes out of style. It's perfect for weddings, special events, or if you just love the timeless appearance of French tips.
Advanced Nail Services: PLEXIGEL and Dip Nails
LuDawn Spa & Salon offers the latest nail technology that gives you beautiful nails without the damage of traditional acrylics. Our nail specialist Ysel is trained in these advanced techniques and creates stunning results.
PLEXIGEL Sculpted Gel Extensions give you longer nails that look completely natural. Unlike old school acrylics, PLEXIGEL is gentler on your natural nails and more flexible, so they don't break as easily. Ysel can create any length and shape you want, and the results last for weeks.
Already have PLEXIGEL extensions? Our Backfill service keeps them looking fresh without starting over from scratch. This maintenance appointment is only available for clients who originally got their PLEXIGEL done at our salon.
If you want strength and shine without adding length, the PLEXIGEL Natural Nail Gel Overlay is perfect. It protects your natural nails, prevents breaking and peeling, and gives you a beautiful glossy finish that lasts.
Dip Nail Polish is another great option that's become super popular at our Ocala nail salon. The color lasts longer than regular polish, feels lighter than gel, and comes in tons of beautiful shades. Your nails stay strong and gorgeous for weeks.
Meet Your Ocala Nail Specialists
Ysel specializes in creating personalized nail art and works with PLEXIGEL builder gels. She loves making every visit feel like a mini vacation where you can relax and leave with nails that reflect your unique style. Her attention to detail and gentle touch have earned her rave reviews from clients all over Marion County.
Erika is another talented member of our team who provides beautiful manicures and pedicures with care and precision. She takes her time to make sure everything is perfect, and guests appreciate how thorough she is.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you arrive at LuDawn Spa & Salon, you'll be greeted warmly by our staff. We keep our nail salon clean and relaxing, with a calming atmosphere that helps you unwind. Unlike some nail salons in Ocala, we don't use heavy acetone smells. Instead, we incorporate essential oils into our services for a more pleasant experience.
Your nail specialist will ask about what you want and make recommendations based on your lifestyle and nail health. They'll explain each step of the service so you know exactly what's happening.
Most manicures take 30 to 45 minutes, while pedicures usually take about an hour. Services like PLEXIGEL extensions may take longer, especially if it's your first time.
Taking Care of Your Nails at Home
To make your manicure or pedicure last longer, avoid soaking your hands in hot water for the first 24 hours. Wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes. Moisturize your hands and cuticles daily with good lotion or cuticle oil.
If you get gel or PLEXIGEL services, don't pick at them if they start to lift. Come back for a fill or removal appointment. Picking damages your natural nails underneath.
