A manicure for men is the same visit anyone books: a hand and nail service. At Nailed It Spa in Fresno, the four spa manicures take 30 to 90 minutes and cost $23 to $45. Gel is an optional $15 on top.
What is a manicure for men?
Men can book any manicure on the menu, so the choice comes down to how much time you want to spend and which steps you want.
In general, a manicure is a nail and hand service, and many people book one just to keep their nails short and even. All four include a massage. To see every kind of manicure the salon offers, read Types of Manicures.
Which manicure suits a quick, tidy visit?
Signature Mani is the short one: nail cutting, shaping and a lotion massage in about 30 minutes for $23. It suits a first manicure, or a visit squeezed in before work or an event.
The other three each add steps. Super Silky Manicure has an exfoliating scrub, a mud mask or paraffin wax, and a massage. Anti-Aging Mani has paraffin wax and a massage. Mega Manicure has a sugar scrub, a mud mask, hot towels and an extended massage.
How long does a manicure take?
The four spa manicures take between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the steps. Gel adds $15 to each one. If you are unsure, start with the shortest and move up next time.
| Manicure | Time | Price | With gel | Good fit when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signature Mani | 30 minutes | $23 | $23 + $15 | You want a short visit |
| Super Silky Manicure | 45 minutes | $30 | $30 + $15 | You have under an hour and want a scrub and a mask or wax |
| Anti-Aging Mani | 60 minutes | $38 | $38 + $15 | You want paraffin wax and a massage in about an hour |
| Mega Manicure | 90 minutes | $45 | $45 + $15 | You can set aside an hour and a half for a longer massage |
These are cash prices, and card payments add 2.5%. Prices may vary with nail length and design complexity.
Do I have to wear polish?
If you have a preference about polish, mention it when you book. Gel is the part that changes the price.
Gel polish commonly lasts two to three weeks, while regular polish usually lasts about a week. For a Signature Mani that works out to $23 + $15 with gel. Wearing gloves for dishes and cleaning, and keeping your hands moisturised, are everyday habits that help any finish look neat for longer.
How short can I keep my nails?
Short, even nails are a common reason people book a manicure, and Signature Mani includes nail cutting and shaping. Nails keep growing, so how often to come back depends on how quickly you notice the length. How Often Should You Get a Manicure? covers pacing your visits.
