Service Description
Your technician begins by assessing your nail length and shape, then files each nail to your preferred style. We use quality files that smooth without splitting or damaging the nail edge.
Cuticles are softened with a cuticle treatment, then gently pushed back and cleaned. Any loose or dead skin is carefully removed for a clean, polished look.
A light buffing smooths the nail surface, and a cuticle oil is applied to nourish and protect. The entire service takes about 15–20 minutes and leaves your nails looking well-maintained and healthy.
