How Often Should You Get a Manicure or Pedicure? Expert Tips Inside

Manicures and pedicures aren’t just about beauty, they're also about maintaining healthy nails, cuticles, and skin. Whether you love gel manicures, classic polish, or spa pedicures, knowing how often you should get a manicure or pedicure can make all the difference in keeping your hands and feet looking their best.

At The Hills BKK, we’ve put together expert tips to help you decide the right frequency for your nail care routine.

How Often Should You Get a Manicure?

The right timing depends on your lifestyle and the type of manicure you choose:

• Classic polish manicure: Every 1–2 weeks. Regular polish chips faster, especially if you use your hands often.

  
  

• Gel manicure: Every 2–3 weeks. Gel polish lasts longer but should always be removed and reapplied professionally to avoid damage.

  
  

• Acrylics / extensions: Every 2–3 weeks for fills. Natural nail growth creates gaps that need to be maintained.

  
  

• Natural nail care (buff & shine): Every 3–4 weeks for shaping, buffing, and cuticle care.

  
  

 Expert Tip: We recommend taking a short “nail holiday” every few months to give your natural nails time to hydrate and recover.

How Often Should You Get a Pedicure?

Pedicures typically last longer than manicures because toenails grow more slowly. Still, regular maintenance keeps feet looking fresh and feeling healthy.

• Classic polish pedicure: Every 3–4 weeks.

  
  

• Gel pedicure: Every 4–6 weeks, as the color tends to last longer.

  
  

• Spa / maintenance pedicure: Every 4–6 weeks for callus removal, exfoliation, and hydration.

  
  

 Expert Tip: If you wear open shoes often or spend long hours on your feet, you may need pedicures more frequently to keep skin smooth and comfortable.
