More information

What's Included

A full, pampering manicure from cleanse to colour.

  • Fine exfoliation to smooth dry, rough patches.
  • Warming paraffin cocoon to deeply hydrate and comfort.
  • Detailed cuticle care, shape and tidy for a clean finish.
  • Relaxing hand and forearm massage to boost circulation.
  • Hot towel wrap to soothe and soften the skin.
  • Hot stone massage with light essential oils to release tension.
  • Nourishing moisturiser to seal in softness.
  • Choice of glossy gel colour, cured to set, or classic polish.

Who It's For

If you want hands that feel comfortable and look refined, this manicure is for you. It suits dry or overworked skin, frequent hand washers, desk workers and gym goers.

It is also a calm reset before events or after a busy spell. Choose a sheer shade for a natural look, or gel for extra longevity without fuss.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Your appointment lasts 75 minutes from start to finish. This allows time for skin care, massage, shaping and a precise polish application.

Wearing existing gel or builder? Add a removal to your booking so there is time to soak off safely. Prefer to skip heat steps such as paraffin or stones? We can adapt the treatment.

Gel cures in salon so you can leave with dry nails. Classic polish needs care for up to two hours while it hardens.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Use cuticle oil twice daily and apply hand cream after washing. Wear gloves for cleaning or gardening and avoid using nails as tools.

Do not pick or peel gel. Book professional removal when you are ready to change your colour. Expect around 2 to 3 weeks of wear for gel and 5 to 7 days for classic polish, depending on lifestyle.

If your nails are thin or flexible, ask about a strength upgrade such as builder gel at a future visit. Regular care keeps skin soft and reduces hangnails.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gel and classic polish?
Gel is cured under a lamp, so it sets immediately and can last 2 to 3 weeks. Classic polish air dries and typically wears for 5 to 7 days. Both are finished with neat shaping and cuticle care.
Is paraffin wax and hot stone massage safe for sensitive skin?
We use gentle, controlled heat and clean, hygienic methods. If you have eczema, psoriasis, circulation issues, open cuts or very sensitive skin, tell us and we can adapt or skip heat steps.
Do I need to come with bare nails?
If you are wearing gel or extensions, please add a removal when booking so we have time to take them off safely. Avoid picking or peeling at home, as it can damage the nail plate.
How long will the results last?
Gel colour usually lasts 2 to 3 weeks with good aftercare. Classic polish tends to last 5 to 7 days. Cuticle oil and gloves for chores help extend wear for both finishes.
Can the treatment be customised?
Yes. We tailor pressure, products and steps to your skin and comfort. If you prefer to avoid heat, fragrance or essential oils, we will adjust the manicure accordingly.
