Manicure Services: Everything You Need to Know
What is a Manicure?
Is a Manicure Safe for My Nails?
A manicure involves shaping, buffing and cleaning the nails using Russian Manicure, followed by cuticle care and the application of cuticle oil. A Russian manicure is a more advanced version, using electric nail files for precise cuticle treatment. Yes, when done by a trained professional, a manicure is safe and can actually promote healthier nails by removing dead skin and improving nail growth.
Why Don’t We Apply Normal Polish?
While regular nail polish is a classic choice, at our salon we offer gel manicures as the most basic treatment. Regular polish can chip quickly, especially if you're on the go or have an active lifestyle. Gel polish, on the other hand, provides longer-lasting results, typically staying intact for 2-4 weeks without chipping, smudging or fading. For a more durable, smooth and shiny finish, we recommend the application of BIAB Gel Manicure during your treatments.
What Makes Gel Manicures Better Than Regular Polish?
Why Choose Gel Manicures Over Regular Polish?
Gel manicures are more durable and long-lasting than regular polish. Unlike traditional nail polish, which can chip within a few days, gel polish is applied in layers and cured under a UV/LED light, creating a stronger bond that can last 2-4 weeks without chipping or fading. Additionally, gel manicures provide a smoother, more glossy finish and require less maintenance. They are also less prone to smudging and offer a quicker drying time compared to regular polish.
How Often Should I Get a Manicure ?
A manicure is generally recommended every 2-3 weeks, depending on how fast your nails grow and the type of manicure you choose.
Do Manicures Need Frequent Maintenance?
How Should I Care for My Nails After a Manicure?
A clean manicure lasts about 1-2 weeks, while gel manicures can last up to 2-4 weeks without chipping or fading. Keep your nails moisturised with cuticle oil and hand cream and avoid harsh chemicals. Wear gloves when washing dishes. Make sure to apply hydrating products after every hand wash to insure healthier skin.
Is Manicure Suitable for Everyone?
Can I get a Manicure if I have short or damaged nails?
Yes, manicures are suitable for everyone, regardless of nail type or age. They help to clean, shape and care for your nails, promoting nail health. If client is under the age of 18 we do require a guardian's permission.
