Manicure FAQs

It depends on the type of manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in San José is CRC 15,500.

There are a number of different kinds of manicures available including basic (nail polish), gel, Shellac, acrylic, dip powder, French, reverse French, American, Russian, paraffin, and hot stone

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.

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.

The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in San José, you are likely to pay around CRC 15,500 for a manicure.

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.

If you like soft hands and beautiful nails, you’ll love getting a manicure. Regular manicures can be very relaxing; they help prevent fungal nail infections and leave your nails looking polished and pristine.
