I'd like to book for a manicure...

This article is long over due. This is a brief explanation of some treatments that most of us get confused.

Manicure

Filing on the natural nail, pushing and softening of cuticles, exfoliation, massage, filling, buffing and shining or nail paint on hands. This treatment is done by both men and women.

Benefits: Clean and well-shaped nails, treating of cuticles which is vital for keeping your nails healthy and strong. The exfoliation removes dead skin cells and improves circulation and stimulates blood flow. It is very relaxing.

 

 

Pedicure

Filing on the natural nail, pushing and softening of cuticles, filing and exfoliation, massage, buffing and shining or nail paint on feet. This treatment is done by both men and women.

Benefits: The benefits of a pedicure are similar to manicures but just specifically designed for feet. The exfoliation and massage relieves aching feet and muscles and stimulates blood circulation. The oils and moisturizing elements keep feet well-hydrated and prevent dry cracked heels.


Paraffin Treatment

Dipping of hand or feet in warm oil based wax to soften rough skin. Soothes and softens dry, chapped, rough and scaly skin. This treatment is done by both men and women.

Benefits: Provides pain relief to sore joints and muscles. Soothes chronic joint pain and relaxes stiff muscles. Improves blood flow to the treated area.

 

 

Nail Enhancements

The use of different systems to give one longer, normal looking or stronger nails using either Acrylic or Gel systems. Gelish is simply gel that applies like nail polish. There are a whole of applications when it comes to this; a professional nail technician will be able to explain the difference and assist you in choosing the best one for you depending of the results you are after and taking into consideration the condition of your nails.

Benefits: Help conceal or fix broken, damaged, short and bad nails. Makes it hard for you to chew your own nails if you have that habit. Great for women with brittle and weak nails.

 
 
 
 

 Hopefully this has clarified a few things and will assist us when making our appointments :-)
