Bastien Gonzalez – The Foot Virtuoso on the Costa del Sol
Pedi :Mani :Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez at the Kempinski Bahia Hotel Estepona
Bastien Gonzalez treatments are available in 19 of the most luxurious Spas and hotels in the world, including the Kempinski Hotel Bahia in Estepona. Awarded the World’s Best Nail Studio Brand in the 2015 World Spa Awards and nominated for this year’s awards, this is a unique approach to manicures and pedicures, all about fusing medical, beauty and wellness approaches. This brings out the natural beauty of the nails and is known as the true pedicure.
A Bastien Gonzalez pedicure is a dry pedicure, done by a trained podiatrist, which is all about cleaning and protecting the nail. They use medically designed protocols and techniques passed down through the generations to ensure healthy nails, feet, and of course create a stunning look. This is a detox for your feet and the results will last from one month to a month and a half, with shiny, lovely nails and beautiful soft feet.
As well as caring for and buffing nails, they also exfoliate the feet, remove dead skin and offer advice on how you can look after your feet better every day. If you have any issues with your feet, such as corns, verrucas and calluses, they can not only help with them during the pedicure, but also offer advice on what treatment to get from the chemist, plus how you can improve your foot care routine to avoid it happening again. After the treatment you get a relaxing foot or hand message which relieves any tension and improves circulation.
A Bastien Gonzalez pedicure and manicure is the perfect blend of health and well-being. Their luxurious and effective products and treatments leave your skin soft, your nails shiny and you feeling totally relaxed.

About Bastien Gonzalez
Bastien Gonzalez started as a professional skier, but following an injury and treatment from physiotherapists and podiatrists he decided to retrain and studied for three years to become a podiatrist. After working in a medical office, he started to work in hotels in Paris and his pedicures needed to be more than just medical. He developed his own style of pedicure which combines Medical, Beauty and Well-being, focusing on bringing out the natural beauty of the nails, hands and feet, rather than simply adding colour. His treatments have a huge celebrity following and he is in demand all over the world. There are 19 Bastien Gonzalez studios in the world, the latest one to open was in Bangkok at the beginning of this year and he has an ambitious expansion plan to open many more, and finally open his own school.
