What does each manicure include?

Signature Mani, Super Silky Manicure, Anti-Aging Mani and Mega Manicure each have a fixed set of steps, and you choose regular polish or gel to finish.

  • Signature Mani: nail cutting, shaping and a lotion massage.
  • Super Silky Manicure: an exfoliating scrub, a mud mask or paraffin wax, and a massage.
  • Anti-Aging Mani: paraffin wax and a massage.
  • Mega Manicure: a sugar scrub, a mud mask, hot towels and an extended massage.

French Manicure takes about 60 minutes and costs $28. Gel Builder takes about 60 minutes and costs $55. Pink and White takes about 75 minutes and costs $60. If you want to confirm what one of these visits covers, ask when you book.

How much more does gel cost than regular polish?

Gel adds $15 to Signature Mani, Super Silky Manicure, Anti-Aging Mani and Mega Manicure.

Signature Mani$23$38
Super Silky Manicure$30$45
Anti-Aging Mani$38$53
Mega Manicure$45$60

Wear time differs too. Regular polish on hands usually lasts about a week, while gel polish commonly lasts two to three weeks, depending on how hard you are on your hands.

Gel polish is a different thing from Gel Builder. Gel Builder is a thicker gel layered over your natural nails to give them structure, and it is its own service at $55. Gel polish is a thin color coat.

Which manicure fits a short visit, and which a longer one?

For a short visit, Signature Mani is the quickest at about 30 minutes, followed by Super Silky Manicure at about 45. If a polish change is all you want, Signature Mani is the one to start with.

Anti-Aging Mani, French Manicure and Gel Builder each take about an hour, so they suit a visit where you can sit for a while. Pink and White takes about 75 minutes.

Mega Manicure is the longest at about 90 minutes. The extra time goes to the sugar scrub, mud mask, hot towels and extended massage, so plan for it when you have time to spare.

To compare the options side by side, see all manicures, or book your manicure once you have picked a time that works.
