Choosing the right service can be overwhelming so nail specialist Rene broke down all the details to help guests find the right service. There are several options for both hands and feet, but what is the difference between these services? Let’s start with hand and nail treatments.
For manicures, guests can choose from gel, shellac, acrylic, silk, and traditional manicure options. Not to mention the additional options such as paraffin waxes, exfoliating treatments, and nail art! For people wanting shiny, long-lasting manicures, gel or shellac services are the best bet. A gel manicure involves applying a thick gel solution to natural nails and requires bi-weekly maintenance. Shellac is considered a “power-polish” and is a thinner application than gel. Both gel and shellac applications cure under a UV light for an immediate drying time – no smudging! Gel and shellac also require a brief soak-off before the next service. Gel applications start at $55 while shellac manicures cost $40 per service.
Acrylic nails are no longer a tacky, outdated manicure solution according to Rene. Today, acrylic is very healthy for natural nails and can be applied with a tip for guests who wish to add length to their natural nails. An acrylic manicure is best for very active people because the acrylic base forms a hard layer over the nail, which can withstand the lifestyle of office assistants, moms, and other busy women. Acrylic manicure services start at $55 and require bi-weekly fills, which are $32. Guests can also inquire about a silk manicure, which affixes a thin piece of silk to natural nails for added protection. Silk manicures start at $55 and fill-ins cost $32.
In addition to pampering your nails, you can also pamper your feet with a variety of pedicures to help add moisture back to your dry, desert feet. The typical spa pedicure at Salon Nouveau takes one hour and includes an exfoliating scrub, mineral mask, and moisturizing massage for $45. The non-spa pedicure takes less time but still cleans up the heels and toes for $30. Don’t forget to pick a teal color during September to help raise money for Ovarian Cancer!
