Aqualia Spa
829 3rd Ave, New York, NY
This popular day spa soothes winter-weary feet with its Sugar Exfoliation Pedicure ($75). Sit back and relax as your feet are soaked in salt water to remove dead skin cells (and those snow-boot-induced calluses). A sugar-based exfoliate is then applied, before feet are placed in a pair of marine salt socks. The treatment ends with a lavender oil massage, moisturizing lotion, and nail polish application, and voila--your feet are officially flip-flop ready. -
Bunya CitiSPA
474 W Broadway, New York, NY
Designed to be gender neutral, Bunya's $65 Sole Comfort Pedicure will whip your toes into shape just in time to hit the beach. The treatment begins with a vigorous callus-eliminating scrub, followed by an ultra-hydrating foot masque to lock in moisture. Nails are then shaped and buffed, with nail polish application optional. -
Spa Ology
241 E 14th St, New York, NY
Choose from several different foot-rejuvenation services at this charming neighborhood spa, like the Marine Spa Pedicure ($57). There's no salt water, but with a 20-minute massage, mud wraps, callus treatment and cucumber heel therapy, you won't care what name they call it. Add a manicure for just $5 with any spa pedi. -
De Novo European Beauty Spa
115 W 57th St, 2nd Fl, New York, NY
The midtown spa raises the (candy) bar with their $50 Chocolate Truffle Pedicure. Feet are buffed with chocolate scrub and chocolate cream in addition to all the typical pedicure luxuries. What's so special about that? Well if you want a bikini body to match your newly summer-ready feet, this is the closest you're gonna get to chocolate 'til September.
