• How long does a manicure/pedicure treatment take?

  The duration of nail treatments varies depending on the type of service. A classic manicure typically lasts between 30 to 45 minutes, while a gel manicure can take up to 90 minutes. For other techniques, such as gel nail strengthening or filing/molding, you should set aside 90 to 120 minutes.
  A pedicure usually takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours, depending on whether you choose an aesthetic or medical pedicure, as well as your choice of nail polish—either classic or gel.

• What is the difference between classic and permanent manicure?

  A classic manicure involves the removal of cuticles, cleaning, shaping, and applying nail polish, while a permanent manicure uses a special UV/LED lamp to provide long-lasting polish. This type of manicure can last for about three weeks or until your next touch-up, allowing you to enjoy worry-free nails.

• What is the difference between an aesthetic pedicure and a medical pedicure?

  The difference between an aesthetic pedicure and a medical pedicure lies in the treatment specifics, target audience, and the techniques and products used. Both types of pedicures involve foot care, but they serve different purposes and delve into varying depths of treatment.

  An aesthetic pedicure focuses on enhancing the appearance of the feet and nails. Its primary goal is beautification and maintenance, which includes removing dead skin cells, shaping the nails, and applying nail polish.

  When is it recommended?
  An aesthetic pedicure is ideal for individuals looking to improve the appearance of their feet, especially during the summer months when open-toed shoes are common. It is also excellent for maintaining healthy nails and skin in daily life.

  On the other hand, a medical pedicure emphasizes the health of the feet. It involves a specialized approach to address specific foot and nail issues, such as ingrown nails, corns, calluses, thickened skin, fungal infections, nail dystrophies, or irregularities in nail structure.

  When is it recommended?
  Medical pedicures are recommended for individuals experiencing health complications in their feet or those who encounter discomfort or pain during daily activities. It is also suitable for individuals with specific health issues, such as diabetes, neuropathy, and other chronic conditions. Medical pedicures provide specialized care and ensure safe, careful treatment for the feet.

• Do you offer manicures/pedicures for men?

  Absolutely! Our center offers manicure and pedicure services for men as well. We understand that hand and foot care is important for everyone, regardless of gender. Our services include classic manicures and pedicures, along with medical treatments that are tailored for men.

  If you prefer, we can also perform treatments with neutral or no polish. Our technicians are trained to provide discreet and comfortable services in a pleasant environment, ensuring that you feel relaxed and refreshed.

• How often do I need to come for pedicure/manicure treatments?

  It’s important to monitor the condition of your hands and feet for all treatments. Manicure services typically need to be repeated every 2 to 3 weeks, as nails grow and cuticles reform. Keeping your nails and cuticles in good condition is essential. For gel nails, you can expect to wait about 4 weeks before needing a touch-up.

  Pedicures generally need to be done every 3 to 5 weeks, but the frequency can vary based on daily activities and external factors.

• Do you do toenail prosthetics at the salon?

  In our salon, we offer a nail prosthetics service, specializing in creating prosthetics for thumbnails using the acrylic technique. Acrylic is a highly reliable material that was first developed for dental use and has since become popular in manicures and pedicures due to its strength and versatility.

  Over a decade ago, we developed a unique method for creating nail plate prosthetics for the feet, which has proven to be extremely effective.

  Acrylic is easy to apply, bonds quickly to the nail, and provides a stable base for the prostheses. Its neutral pigment allows the prosthesis to blend seamlessly, making any damage to the nail plate nearly invisible.

  There are two primary approaches to creating nail plate prosthetics: aesthetic and medical. The aesthetic approach focuses on restoring the natural appearance of the nail, while the medical approach serves a functional purpose, protecting damaged nails and facilitating their regrowth.

• What should I do if I have an allergy to certain products?

  If you have allergies to any products, please inform us before we begin the treatment. We can perform a sensitivity test on a small area of the nail plate to ensure your safety.

  If we determine that certain products are not safe for you, we will recommend an alternative treatment to avoid any unwanted reactions. Our goal is to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience while prioritizing your health.

• Does the equipment you work with go through a sterilization procedure?

  At our center, we prioritize the highest standards of hygiene. All instruments undergo a thorough process of cleaning, sterilization, and packaging in sterile bags to ensure maximum protection and peace of mind for our clients. To learn more about our sterilization procedures and hygiene practices, please visit the “Hygiene” section on our website.

• Can the already existing material applied to my nails be removed at your place?

  Absolutely! In our salon, we safely remove all materials from your nails to prevent any damage. We recommend having your gel polish, gel, or nail extensions removed by our professionals to ensure that your nails remain healthy and well-preserved.

• Do I need to book an appointment in advance?

• Does the material applied to the nails, such as classic polish, gel polish or gel, damage the nails?

  Materials like classic nail polish, gel polish, and gel typically do not damage the nails when they are applied and removed correctly. However, improper application, excessive use, and incorrect removal can lead to dehydration, brittleness, cracking, or discoloration of the nails.

  Always seek advice from experts to maintain the health of your nails.
