This was my first time back with Kim in three years and as usual was made to feel welcome and as if it hadn't been pre COVID since last at the Spa. Thank you Kim for the fun conversation and of course another awesome manicure.

Manicure FAQs
It depends on the type of manicure you get. You should allow around 30 minutes for a basic manicure that uses standard nail polish; shellac and gel nail manicures take up to 45 minutes; and acrylic nail manicures take around 90 minutes.
It depends on the type of polish used: traditional nail polish lasts about a week, acrylic nails should last between 6-8 weeks and will need a fill every 2-3 weeks to cover regrowth. Shellac and gel nails last for 2-3 weeks.
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Downtown Victoria, you are likely to pay around $40 for a manicure.
It greatly depends on the type of manicure you go for. Some nail technicians suggest having a manicure once a week, however Shellac, dip powder, acrylic, and gel manicures can last a lot longer. You can leave 2-3 weeks before getting your gel or Shellac manicures filled or redone; wait 3-6 weeks between dip powder manicures; and leave 6-8 weeks before having your acrylic nail manicure redone. If in doubt, ask your technician.
Nail technicians tend to start a manicure with a warm water hand soak, which soften the skin and nails. They then file, buff, and clean the cuticle, massage your hands with a moisturising cream, and apply a base coat of polish, before finishing with a layer of colour, top coat, and cuticle oil. Standard nail polish is left to dry naturally; shellac and gel polishes are cured under a UV lamp; acrylic nails cure in the natural air.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, it’s common, particularly for those using regular nail polish or gel. If you’d like to give it a try, there are various different kits and pieces of equipment available to buy, but we always recommend having a manicure done by a professional to ensure you get the results you want.
It depends on the type of manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in Downtown Victoria is $40.
