Frequently asked questions
What is a Volcano Spa pedicure kit?
A single-use pedicure kit by La Palm. A packet of Detox Volcano Crystals goes into the warm foot bath, a packet of Volcano Activator follows, and the water erupts into a fizzing, fragrant soak. The box then carries the service through an exfoliating sugar scrub, a collagen cream mask, and a collagen massage lotion, with a spa liner for the basin. Every step is pre-measured and sealed for one client.
What is the difference between the 6-step and 10-step Volcano kits?
Both have the crystals, activator, sugar scrub, collagen cream mask, collagen massage lotion, and spa liner. The 10-step Pedicure Spa Kit adds three disposable prep tools: a sanitizing wipe, a buffer and file, and a pumice, so the whole pedicure comes out of one box. The 6-step kit is the spa treatment on its own for salons that already stock their prep tools.
Which scents are available?
6-step: Green Tea and Aloe Vera, Honey Pearl, Lavender Eruption, Orange No. 5, Romance, and Tropical Citrus. 10-step: Hot Lava, Rose Gold, Spearmint, Fuji Pearl, Gold, Havana Secrets, and Beach Paradise. Each scent is sold as a single kit or as a case of 36.
How do I run the Volcano Spa service?
Spread the full packet of crystals in warm spa water, add the full packet of activator right away, and let the feet soak about 3 minutes during the eruption. Towel dry, massage the sugar scrub over feet and legs, rinse. Apply the collagen cream mask, wrap the legs in a warm towel for 10 minutes, rinse and dry. Finish by massaging in the collagen lotion until absorbed. Line the basin with the spa liner for the next client.
How are Volcano Spa kits sold, and is it wholesale?
By the single kit for trial or by the case of 36 for the menu, which is the working size for a busy salon. Every kit at ND Nails Supply is wholesale-priced for everyone, with no business license, no minimum order, and no membership fee. Orders $100+ ship free, and in-stock cases ordered before 2pm PT on weekdays leave the same day.
What a Volcano Spa pedicure is
Volcano Spa by La Palm is a single-use pedicure kit built around a visible reaction: a packet of Detox Volcano Crystals goes into the warm foot bath, a packet of Volcano Activator follows, and the water erupts into a fizzing, bubbling soak that fills the room with the kit's fragrance. The rest of the box carries the pedicure through exfoliation, a collagen mask, and a collagen massage lotion. Because every step is pre-portioned and sealed, each client gets a fresh kit and the salon skips the shared jars. ND Nails Supply stocks the Volcano Spa 6-step and 10-step Pedi in a Box kits by the single kit and by the case of 36, at wholesale pricing.
6-step vs 10-step: what is in the box
| Step | 6-Step Pedi in a Box | 10-Step Pedicure Spa Kit |
|---|---|---|
| Detox Volcano Crystals | Yes | Yes |
| Detox Volcano Activator | Yes | Yes |
| Exfoliating Sugar Scrub | Yes | Yes |
| Collagen Cream Maske | Yes | Yes |
| Collagen Massage Lotion | Yes | Yes |
| Spa Liner | Yes | Yes |
| Sanitizing Wipe | No | Yes |
| Buffer and File | No | Yes |
| Pumice | No | Yes |
The 6-step kit is the spa treatment on its own. The 10-step kit adds the disposable prep tools (wipe, buffer and file, pumice) so the whole pedicure, not just the soak and mask, comes out of one sealed box.

How to run a Volcano Spa pedicure
- Crystals. Add the full packet of Detox Volcano Crystals to warm spa water and spread them evenly.
- Activator. Immediately add the full packet of Volcano Activator to start the eruption. Let the feet soak about 3 minutes while the reaction softens the skin, then towel dry. Turning on the jets afterward blends the ingredients and lifts the fragrance.
- Sugar scrub. Massage a generous amount over feet and legs to exfoliate, rinse, and towel dry.
- Collagen cream mask. Apply evenly over legs and feet, wrap both legs in a warm towel, and leave 10 minutes. Rinse and dry.
- Collagen massage lotion. Massage in until fully absorbed for the finish.
- Spa liner. Line the basin before the next client. On the 10-step kit, use the sanitizing wipe, buffer and file, and pumice during prep between the soak and the scrub.
Pro tip: add the activator the moment the crystals are in. The eruption is the part clients book for, and it is strongest when the two packets meet at once in warm, not hot, water.
Why salons put Volcano Spa on the menu
- A visible upgrade: the eruption gives a deluxe pedicure a moment the client can see and smell, which makes the upsell from a basic pedicure easy to explain.
- Hygiene: single-use, pre-measured steps mean no double-dipped jars and no measuring at the chair.
- Consistent product cost: one box per client makes the service cost a fixed number, which is what the case of 36 is for.
- Collagen finish: the mask and lotion leave skin soft and moisturized, the result clients mention when they rebook.
How many pedicures are in a case, and how should the menu price it?
A case is 36 kits, and one kit is one pedicure, so a case is 36 services with no leftover product to measure or store. That makes the product cost per pedicure a fixed number on the menu, which is the main reason salons move from bulk jars to single-use kits. Most menus list the Volcano Spa as a named deluxe pedicure above the basic spa pedicure, with the eruption, the collagen mask, and the scent choice as the three things the client is paying extra for. The 10-step kit, with its disposable wipe, buffer and file, and pumice, is the one to put on the menu if the salon wants the entire service, prep included, to come out of a sealed box in front of the client.
Volcano Spa vs VOESH: which single-use kit?
Both are sealed, one-client kits, and many salons stock both. Volcano Spa is the show: the crystals-and-activator eruption is a visible, fragrant reaction in the basin, and the kit finishes with a collagen mask and lotion. VOESH Pedi in a Box is the wider menu: 4-in-1, 5-step, and 6-step tiers, ten scents in the 4-in-1 alone, cases of 50, and a matching waterless manicure box. A common split is Volcano Spa as the deluxe named pedicure and VOESH as the everyday spa pedicure with the scent choice.
Storage and handling
- Keep cases sealed in a cool, dry cabinet; the crystals and activator are moisture-sensitive until they are meant to meet.
- Open one kit per client. Partial packets do not keep.
- Rotate scents seasonally: Tropical Citrus, Orange No. 5, and Spearmint for summer; Lavender Eruption and Green Tea and Aloe Vera for a calm spring menu; Honey Pearl, Gold, Rose Gold, and Hot Lava for the holiday menu.
The volcano step, and why the client remembers it
The step that names the kit is the reaction: the activator poured into the soak bubbles up in the basin, and clients watch it. Salons build the service around that moment, running the volcano step first while the client is settled, then the scrub, mask, and massage through the rest of the pedicure. Because the effect is visible, the Volcano Spa is the pedicure clients photograph and ask for by name on the next visit, which is the reason it is priced as the salon's signature pedicure rather than as a generic spa add-on, and why the scent choice is offered at the chair from the boxes on the desk. The basin is rinsed and disinfected after the fizz as after any soak; the crystals and activator leave no residue that needs a separate cleaner, so the chair turns at the same pace as a standard pedicure. Salons that run the 10-step box book it as a longer appointment, since the extra masks and the massage steps add real time, and price it as the deluxe tier above the 6-step.
