Manicure
A manicure includes shaping and trimming of the nails, as well
as pushing back the cuticles. A brief hand and arm massage
concludes the service. You can then choose to have your nails
polished or buffed.
The cuticle, the thin piece of skin that overlaps the nail
at its base, sometimes adheres to the nail - causing splits
or tears in the skin that can turn into hangnails. Keeping
the cuticles soft and pushed back may prevent this occurrence.
During your manicure, the nail technician will soften the
cuticle and gently push it back, trimming only when needed
or requested.
Hangnails will be trimmed to prevent further tearing. Pedicure
Pedicure is the art of caring for the feet and toenails. It
can increase the comfort level of your feet, as well as enhance
the way they look. Plus, many people find receiving a pedicure
to be exceptionally relaxing.
Pedicure takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and includes
removal of old polish (if needed), filing of toenails,
treatment of
cuticles, removal of calluses and massage of the lower leg
and foot. Polish is then applied, if desired.
