Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 4-step and the 5-step Avry kit?
The soak. The 4 Steps Pedi Kit holds a sea salt soak, a sugar scrub, a nourishing cream mask, and a hydrating massage cream, so the service opens with a salt soak in plain water. The 5 Steps Total Gel-Ohh Pedi Spa Set replaces that with the jelly bath and its melting mineral, then follows with the sugar scrub, cream mask, and massage butter. That is why the five-step pack carries two sachets at the front of the sequence, and why most salons put it on a higher menu tier.
How does a step kit fit into a normal pedicure?
It follows the same order the tech already works in, with one product per step and nothing decanted. Soak first, scrub while the skin is soft, then the mask, which is applied and left on while the nails are shaped and the cuticles are worked, so the only idle minutes in a pedicure are being used. The cream or butter finishes the service. Because every step is pre-portioned for one client, a treatment pedicure runs only a few minutes longer than a basic one.
Case of 50 or single kits?
Singles for trying a scent or for a salon offering the treatment pedicure occasionally, and a case for the scent that is actually on the menu board, because a service that sells will empty a box faster than the reorder cycle. The pattern that works is one scent deep in a case plus one or two others as singles, rotated when the season changes. Keep boxes closed and dry, especially the five-step set, since its jelly sachet is designed to absorb water.
Which scents are listed?
The 4 Steps Pedi Kit comes in Pearl Glow, Lavender, Green Tea, Rose Water, and Milk and Honey. The 5 Steps Total Gel-Ohh set comes in Rosemary, Ylang Ylang, Yes To Rose, and Champagne Hour. Lavender, Green Tea, and Milk and Honey are the safe middle that almost no client refuses, Rose Water and Yes To Rose read as the spa option, Rosemary reads herbal and purposeful, and Champagne Hour and Ylang Ylang are the ones to promote for an occasion.
What is on the Avry spa kit page
Nine listings of single-use pedicure step kits from Avry Beauty at wholesale, in two builds. The 4 Steps Pedi Kit comes in Pearl Glow, Lavender, Green Tea, Rose Water, and Milk and Honey. The 5 Steps Total Gel-Ohh Pedi Spa Set comes in Rosemary, Ylang Ylang, Yes To Rose, and Champagne Hour. Each listing is sold as a single kit or as a case of 50, and six of the nine are out of stock as this page was written. A step kit is one sealed pack per client holding every product a treatment pedicure needs, in the order the tech will use them.

The difference is the soak. The four-step kit opens with a sea salt soak in plain water; the five-step set replaces that with the jelly bath and its melting mineral, which is why it carries two sachets at the front of the sequence rather than one. The Rosemary box is marked as made with rosemary leaf oil, is PETA approved and vegan, and lists no alcohol, no mineral oil, no phthalates, and no phenoxyethanol on the pack.
Running the five-step set
- Jelly bath. Stir the jelly sachet into a warm foot bath, let it thicken, and soak the feet with the jets off.
- Scrub. Work the sugar scrub over the feet and lower legs while the skin is soft from the soak.
- Melting mineral. Add the second sachet so the jelly returns to a liquid, rinse, and drain the bowl.
- Mask. Apply the cream mask, wrap or cover the feet, and leave it while the nails are shaped and cuticles are worked.
- Massage butter. Remove the mask and finish with the butter through the feet and lower legs.
The order is what makes a step kit efficient: each product is used once, in sequence, with nothing decanted and nothing left over. The mask step is also the pause a tech uses to do the nail work, so the service does not run longer than a standard pedicure by much.
What each step is actually doing
- Soak. Softens the skin so the scrub and the callus work do not have to be aggressive.
- Scrub. Lifts dead surface skin, which is the step clients feel most immediately.
- Mask. Sits on the skin while the nails are done, which is the only unpaid minute in a pedicure being put to use.
- Cream or butter. Seals the result and is the part the client still notices the next morning.
- The pack itself. Sealed, single-use, opened in front of the client, which answers the hygiene question before it is asked.
Case of 50 or single kits
Singles are for testing a scent and for a salon offering the treatment pedicure occasionally. The case of 50 is the format for a menu tier that is actually on the board, because a service that sells will burn a box faster than the reorder cycle. The sensible stocking pattern is one scent deep in a case and one or two others as singles, rotated when the season changes. Boxes should be kept dry and closed, especially for the five-step set, since its jelly sachet is designed to absorb water.
Choosing between the two builds for a menu
Most salons that carry both put them on different tiers. The four-step kit is the everyday treatment pedicure, familiar, quick, and easy to price just above the basic service. The five-step set is the top tier, where the jelly bath gives the client something visibly different from what she had last time and gives the tech a reason to describe the service at the chair. Running both means one menu line that upgrades and one that upgrades again, which is a cleaner ladder than three tiers that all look alike.
Scent choice follows the same logic as the jelly range: Lavender, Green Tea, and Milk and Honey are the safe middle, Rose Water and Yes To Rose read as the spa option, Rosemary reads purposeful and herbal, and Champagne Hour and Ylang Ylang are the ones a salon promotes for an occasion.
Why salons move to single-use packs
Bulk jars and pump bottles look cheaper on the invoice and rarely are once the salon counts what actually reaches the client. Product is over-poured on a busy day and under-poured on a slow one, a jar left open at the station dries at the top, and a bottle that has been handled with wet gloves all week is the first thing an inspector asks about. A sealed pack removes all three problems at once: the portion is fixed, the product is fresh until the moment it is opened, and nothing is shared between clients.
There is a training benefit too. A new tech working from a step kit cannot skip the mask or improvise the order, because the pack is laid out in sequence. That consistency is what lets a salon promise the same treatment pedicure at every chair, which is the hard part of putting a premium service on a menu.
Storage and shelf rotation
Keep the cases closed, off the floor, and away from the steamer and the sink. The sachets are sealed but the outer boxes are cardboard, and a damp store room is what turns a case into a clumped one. Rotate by date when a new case arrives so the older stock is used first, and keep the singles that are being trialled in a separate place from the case that is in service, because the quickest way to break a menu promise is to reach for the wrong scent mid-treatment.
Preparing the station before the client sits
- Open nothing in advance. The pack is opened in front of the client; that is half of what she is paying for.
- Warm water first. Warm, not hot, so the soak stays comfortable for the full ten minutes.
- Liner in the bowl. It speeds the changeover and keeps scrub and jelly off the acrylic surface.
- Towels and a wrap ready. The mask step works better when the feet are covered, and hunting for a towel wastes the minute the mask was meant to buy.
- Nail work planned. Shaping and cuticle work belong in the mask window, not before the soak.
- Bowl cleaned to the normal protocol afterwards. A step kit replaces the products, not the disinfection routine.
