What an organic pedicure is: inside the Organic Spa
Element's Organic Spa Pedicure is $65 and takes about 50 minutes. It includes a mineral soak, botanical exfoliation, callus care, warm paraffin and a 12 minute jade-stone massage. Here, organic is a style of treatment, not a certification.
The steps, in order
The pedicure starts with a mineral soak to soften skin and nails. Then comes botanical exfoliation, which means a scrub made with plant-based ingredients to smooth the skin on your feet and lower legs. Plan on about 50 minutes in the chair, with the massage making up a good share of that time.
After that the tech works on calluses and tidies the nails and cuticles. Warm paraffin is applied next, and then a 12 minute massage with jade stones. Regular polish finishes it, and it is included in the $65. Everything is done at a relaxed pace, so ask the tech if you want any step shortened or skipped.
What the extras do
Warm paraffin is a wax treatment applied to the feet and left for a few minutes. Many people like the warmth and how soft their skin feels after. It is a comfort step, not a medical treatment. Skip it if you have an open cut or wound, and tell the tech if you have any wax allergy.
Jade stones are smooth, cool or warm stones used to massage the feet and calves. At 12 minutes it is longer than the Classic's five and the Deluxe's eight, so it is one of the main reasons people step up to this tier.
- Mineral soak
- Botanical exfoliation
- Callus care
- Warm paraffin
- Jade-stone massage, 12 minutes
About the word organic
Organic is a word that gets used loosely in the salon world. When you see it on our menu, read it as the name of a treatment with botanical-style products. We are not making a certification claim about every ingredient being certified organic.
If you have allergies or sensitive skin, ask about the products before the service starts and tell the tech about any reactions you have had. If you have diabetes, poor circulation or a foot infection, check with your doctor first.
Who this tier suits
The Organic Spa sits in the middle of our menu, above the Classic at $35 and the Deluxe at $49, and below the Pearl Spa at $75. It suits people who want more time on rough skin and a longer massage without going to the highest tiers.
In South Florida, sandals and sand make heels dry and rough most of the year, so the callus care and the extra time are noticeable. Book at 954-236-7922 or walk in at 8151 W Sunrise Blvd in Plantation, with appointments recommended.
How to get the most out of it
Tell the tech what bothers you. If you have rough heels, say so, since the callus care is where the time goes. If you have a spot that is sore or sensitive, mention it before the soak, so the tech can work around it.
Skip shaving your legs on the day. The mineral soak and exfoliation can sting freshly shaved skin. Wear loose pants or shorts so the massage can reach your calves, and bring sandals if you can, since fresh polish smudges easily in closed shoes.
If the massage is the part you value most, ask about the longer tiers. The Pearl Spa has the same 12 minutes, but Róse Berry and Jelly Spa have 20, and the top tiers go to 25 and 30 minutes.
