The best part of a pedi is getting our twinkle toes kneaded by a pro.

Suat at Jeanet Spa doesn’t make us wait until the end, but rather integrates massage techniques throughout her treatment. In between soaks, scrubs and snips,
the lovely Tunisian native gives our feet a strong-handed pressure point massage that is downright heavenly.

We leave feeling both relaxed and ready to walk a thousand miles. —Athena Tsavliris

The scene: We’re reclined way back in one of the Ten Spot’s signature olive-green spa chairs. A warm towel clings to our bare shoulders; steamy mist shrouds us. Our face tingles with exfoliant while a nail tech scrubs our wiggling feet.

Cut to: One hour later, when we’re forced to emerge from this quickie beauty coma known as The Works. Inspired by a request from a regular, the Ten Spot’s newest offering is a speedy, summer-ized spin on the facial and mani/pedi combo. There’s no cocoon of blankets to sweat under or wait time between services—you pick your polish, get in the chair and close your eyes.

Thanks to the efforts of two aestheticians, you’re done in 60 minutes. Did we mention it includes an upper body massage?

The Works almost feels too indulgent, until you remember the price. At $155, it’s one of the most inexpensive ways to escape entirely and return radiant. —Paige Dzenis

Flesh-toned shades will rule for spring and we know where we’re taking our talons.

At their little hole-in-wall mani/pedi joint, Anna and Kelly of Signature Nails are the only gals we trust to file, buff and polish our nails to hand-model perfection.

The treatments are quick, thorough, and fabulously affordable ($50 for fingers and toes) and the place is so clean we’d happily walk around barefoot.

Expect to spot many a MuchMusic VJ (it’s steps away from the studio) popping in for a midday mani.

This time of year, it’s not just the prego-set that grumble about brittle nails, achy bones and ballooning feet. Couldn’t we all use a little scrub, rub and pummel?

Conceived with Mother's in mind, (but not exclusive to) the new Sunny Mummy Spa + Boutique offers head-to-toe treatments that leave you feeling soft, soothed and utterly relaxed.

Services include Reiki, ($100/hour) Shiatsu, ($80/hour) Reflexology, ($80/hour) manis ($30) and pedis ($45) with on-site kiddie caregivers there to help you indulge in peace.

A selection of organic baby blankets, creams, bubbles and onesies fill the foyer and Aveda is the product of choice.

Pssst: Mother’s Day is May 10 (pass it on!).
