After the beach and the Casamance trails, a pedicure and manicure in Cap Skirring puts feet and hands back in shape: a 45-minute option, at a flat rate, ideally booked in advance. A simple treatment to slip into a beach holiday.

One option, 45 minutes

The option lasts 45 minutes, at a flat rate, and combines foot care and hand care in the same session. It is a short duration, designed to fit into a holiday day without tying it up: you go between the beach and lunch, or at the end of the afternoon before going out.

Sessions take place indoors, at a salon in Cap Skirring. Booking in advance is advised, especially in the holiday season.

Before you come

For a pedicure on your return from the beach, a few simple steps help: arrive with clean feet, plan open shoes if you choose a polish so you do not smudge it, and mention any sensitive skin, cracks or irritation before the treatment. If you have been walking barefoot in the sand all day, the session will be more pleasant after a quick shower. Also allow a few minutes before your appointment time so you can settle in without rushing, and remember to remove any existing polish if you want a fresh application.

After a day walking on sand, between the beach, the market and the trails of the region, feet and hands appreciate attentive care: it is a simple way to look after yourself on holiday. If you live in the Casamance, it is a regular upkeep appointment, to book without going to Dakar. If you are visiting, it is a treatment to fit into a day without an excursion, before an evening out or a dinner.

Cap Skirring, the beach of the Casamance

Cap Skirring is the beach resort of the Casamance, a green, humid Senegal woven with rice paddies, forests and bolons (tidal creeks) that wind between the mangroves. The white-sand beach makes its reputation, but a stay here does not stop there.

Other treatments on site

To complete the beauty moment, a massage, a facial or hairdressing and braids combine well. To go out afterwards, an island excursion or a stop in Oussouye offer other outings.
