Manicure FAQs
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. 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.
The cost of manicures varies depending on the type you go for; however in Gauteng, you are likely to pay around ZAR 220 for a manicure.
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 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.
It depends on the type of manicure you choose, but the average price of a manicure in Gauteng is ZAR 220.
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.
