  • BEST manicures my daughter and I have had in years. Naomi and Mina were excellent, careful and conscientious! Salon is clean and calming. Great selection of polish colors to choose from. Naomi did an amazing job replicating the nail art inspo photo my daughter showed her! Even better than the picture!! Highly recommend!

  • This is the nail salon experience I’ve been looking for! Clean, comfortable, spa-like ambience in a welcoming setting, with skilled and attentive technicians. It is easy to book appointments online and the pricing is reasonable with many options to choose from. My no-chip French manicure looks gorgeous, as does my regular pedicure, and both made me feel relaxed and pampered. I will be a regular client here, for sure.

Manicure FAQs

It depends on the type of manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in West Lake Forest is $25.

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.

Manicurists tend to begin a manicure by soaking your hands in warm water to 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.

Yes. Some types of manicures do carry risks. Cuticles could be infected if they are cut, and you could suffer with dry, weak, or brittle nails if your polish isn’t correctly removed. Ask your nail technician to talk you through the risks before you book your appointment.

Many nail technicians recommend once-weekly manicures to ensure your nails always look good and that your nail polish remains chip-free. However, you can get away with having manicures less often – ask your technician for their specific advice as the frequency can vary according to the nail polish used.

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.
