Manicures
A manicure will improve the texture and health of both the nails and the skin of your hands, as well as leaving them looking polished and perfect.
we use oils, creams and waxes to exfoliate, cleanse and improve the texture of your nails and the skin of your hands.
Apart from making sure your hands and nails look and feel good, a manicure often has the side-effect of relaxing and soothing you.
File and polish: A tidy up of the nails, clean, shape and a colour of your choice.
French polish: This classic manicure uses clear or pink-coloured polish on the body of the nail, and whitens the tip.
Manicure: File and shape with the removal of dry cuticles, then polished with any colour from our OPI range.
Intensive paraffin wax: This manicure includes warm wax being rubbed into your nails, hands and wrists to moisturise and soften.
Luxury: This whole-hand treatment will include a hand massage, softening paraffin wax and heated mittens or a wrap which warms and soothes your hands, and softens and hydrates your nails.
Before your appointment.
To make the most of your appointment. You might want to take off your rings, and remove any traces of old nail polish.
our manicures can last from 15 minutes to more than an hour, depending on what type you choose.
Leave yourself enough time to get the full benefit of the treatment, and make sure you don't have to rush off. If for any reason it takes longer, it's hard to drive with sticky polish still drying on your fingers!
After care
BEWARE: Whilst shop-bought nail polish often takes at most 5 minutes to dry, salon polish can take up to 12 hours to dry completely. So be gentle with your hands and nails afterwards. You can still use them, of course, but ask your manicurist about any special precautions you should take. Don't wear gloves, or anticipate needing your hands for any kind of dextrous work immediately after a manicure. It may not be the best thing to go straight back to banging away on a computer keyboard, doing someone's hair or bathing your children if you have just had delicate solutions applied to your nails.
