Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Standard Manicure.

A Standard Manicure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on nail condition and desired polish. Allow extra time for detailed cuticle care or if you add upgrades. We recommend booking a 45-minute slot for comfort.

Yes. Our Standard Manicure includes application of your choice of polish from our selection. Gel or specialty polishes may be considered an upgrade. If you prefer no polish, we offer a buff and shine alternative for a natural look.

For most clients, scheduling a Standard Manicure every 2 to 3 weeks maintains shape and polish. Nail growth and personal preference may vary; clients with brittle nails may benefit from more frequent care and strengthening treatments.

Nail extensions are not part of the Standard Manicure but can be added as a separate service. We offer enhancements like acrylics or gel extensions — consult with your technician to choose the best option and time required for application.

Avoid heavy hand creams or cuticle oils just before your appointment; arrive with clean, polish-free nails. If you have nail infections, open wounds, or a recent manicure reaction, inform us so we can advise or reschedule for safety.

Keep nails dry for at least one hour and avoid harsh chemicals. Reapply top coat every few days to extend polish wear, use cuticle oil daily, and moisturize hands to maintain results and strengthen nail health between visits.
