Bastien Pedicure at The Mandarin Oriental

One of the best pedicures, not only in London but possibly the world. Gentle buffing restores the natural beauty of the nails, revealing healthy, shiny nails, all without lacquer.

The pedicure also includes a skin treatment that effectively eliminates irregularities and dryness and a relaxing massage from the toes to the knees to relieve any tight and stressed muscles – you'll be walking on air before you know it.
