【How-to】How much does a manicure and pedicure cost

The root of the word pedicure is two-part: pedi, from ped meaning foot, and cure, from curare meaning to care for. Similarly, manicure comes from manus, meaning hand, and curare. From the roots, you can see the critical difference between manicure and pedicure: manicures are hand care and pedicures are foot care.
