  • Really nice salon, service was great a d the manicurist did my nails exactly how I wanted. I showed Ana a photo and she did a beautiful job. They are priced very competitive and I would highly recommend the salon. It's an Eastern European-owned salon, so if you're looking for a quick mani, you won't find it here. They take their time to perfect your nails, it's a sloppy quick job like at most other salons. I will certainly go back, just plan ahead for at least 1:15-1:30 hour time slot.

Manicure FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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

The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Downtown, you are likely to pay around $42 for a manicure.

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 manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in Downtown is $42.
