Manicure

Manicure is a very popular treatment available in most beauty salons and clinics. It involves treatment of the nails, cuticles and hands.

A full consultation will normally take place at the first treatment. This will establish the condition of the nails, cuticles and hands enabling the Therapist to advise and select treatments accordingly.

It is also important for the Therapist to understand the lifestyle of the client as this may often contribute to the condition of the hands and nails.

There are certain conditions that may hinder a Manicure treatment. The Therapist will check for these and advise the client on the action required. Coloured Nal enamel is not compulsory after a Manicure, there are options including French Manicure (natural base with a white tip painted on).

Natural nail treatments concentrate on the conditioning of the cuticle and nails. Products are designed to be applied on a regular basis and the Therapist may advise a course of treatments if necessary.

There are a number of Manicure systems that will include skin treatments, removal of dead skin cells and moisturising packs. Whichever treatment you select it can be a very relaxing and social occasion.

My nails are really short as they break off. I am too embarrassed to go for a Manicure.

No. Your only alternative is to book a Manicure you are a perfect client. The Therapist can identify the reasons for your nail condition and advise you. Please do not be embarrassed; it is not a requirement to have long nails.

My cuticles are dry and split easily, can a manicure help this?

Yes. Dry, dead cuticle can be removed and new cuticle conditioned. Heat packs and moisturisers may be applied and advise given depending on your lifestyle. Working with paper can sometimes contribute to dry, split cuticles, in addition to contact with detergents, too hot water, biting cuticles, to name but a few.
