Step by step: what happens during a salon manicure and pedicure, and why it matters.
The manicure, step by step
Nails are shaped, cuticles softened and gently pushed back, hands are exfoliated and massaged, then polish or gel is applied in thin, even coats for a smooth finish.
The pedicure, step by step
Feet are soaked, nails trimmed and shaped, rough skin smoothed, then a relaxing massage and polish complete the treatment.
Nail art ideas
Minimal French tips, soft nudes, metallic accents for weddings and seasonal designs are all popular. Bring a picture of your outfit and your technician can design around it.
Healthy nails between visits
Keep nails a practical length, file in one direction and use cuticle oil. Healthy natural nails make every manicure look better.
