How long does it take?
Around 1 hour to 1 hour 20 minutes for a pedicure or manicure. If your skin, nails or cuticles need extra attention, it can take up to 2 hours.
Where are you located?
17E Hogans Road, Glenfield, Auckland. Contact details and map.
The studio is a short walk down the shared driveway at 17 Hogans Road. Look for the 17E sign next to the garage; the entrance is right beside it.
Is there parking?
Yes, parking is easy and free. The studio is on the corner of Hogans Road and Weldene Avenue, so there’s plenty of on-street parking on both streets.
Please don’t park in the shared driveway. It’s used by the neighbours’ homes and garages, so please leave your car on the street and walk in.
Can two people be served at the same time?
No. There’s one pedicurist and one chair, so clients are booked back-to-back rather than together. Why we work one client at a time.

I’d rather not sit in a busy salon. Is your studio different?
Yes. We see one client at a time, so there’s no crowded room, no queue and no one in the next chair. It’s a straightforward, professional foot care appointment: come in, get your feet sorted, and get on with your day. Many men find this suits them better than a busy salon.

Do you do gel?
Gel is available for pedicure, but not for manicure.
Do you do nail extensions, French tips or nail art?
No. We don’t do nail extensions, French manicures, gel on fingernails, or nail art and designs.
Smart Pedicure NZ focuses on foot care rather than decorative nails: hard skin, calluses, corns, cracked heels and healthy, tidy toenails. A plain polish or gel on the toenails is included with the pedicure, and the manicure includes a plain polish (no gel).
Do you include a foot or leg massage?
No, massage isn’t part of the service.
How often should I come?
Every two months is recommended.
What don’t you treat?
We don’t work with ingrown nails, inflamed or infected nails (including any with pus), or bleeding. These need a doctor or podiatrist.
How are the tools sterilised?
Our process follows the Health, Hygiene and Safety Standards for Registered Beauty Professionals (New Zealand Association of Registered Beauty Professionals, 2022).
Smart Pedicure NZ holds an Auckland Council Health Protection licence for manicure and pedicure, issued under the Auckland Council Health and Hygiene Bylaw 2013, and is inspected by the Council each year at renewal.
Files and buffs are single-use: you’re welcome to take yours home, otherwise we throw them away.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Please let us know at least 12 hours before your appointment if you need to cancel or reschedule. If you arrive late, your treatment time may be shortened to respect the next client’s booking. Thank you for your understanding.
