Manicure is a finger nail service in which we shape your nails, push back the cuticles, cut the dead skin around your cuticles, clean under the free edges, buff your nails, then massage your hands and arms with lotion, and finally apply your favourite colour polish to your nails.

You have to apply a nail-hardening product to your nails. There are some good nail hardeners for the treatment of soft, peeling, bitten, weak, thin or brittle nails. You may also ask your doctor if you need to take calcium diet supplement.

Find a good top coat and apply one thin coat every two or three days (don’t forget the front edges of the nails). We carry a very good top coat, which is one of the best top coats on the market now.

A Pedicure includes trimming, shaping, and polishing toenails. It also includes foot massage and the removal of ingrown toenails and any callous or dead skin on the bottom of your feet.

Absolutely they can, and they have to. In fact, men need a regular Manicure and Pedicure to have soft skin and good nail shape (of course without any colour).

Once every two weeks for a Manicure and once a month for a Pedicure will bring maximum results in softening your cuticles, your hands and your feet, and in keeping your nails healthy, growing faster and in good shape.

A traditional French Manicure is a nail style with white polish or paint is applied to the free edge to make it look whiter than normal, and a baby pink, beige or peach polish is applied over the whole nail to give the rest of the nail a healthy look. This style looks elegant on any occasion and matches every colour of your outfits. Today, with the “fancy” French Manicure, the free edge can be any colour – not just white, and the shape of the colour at the free edge can be any shape – not just smile line, like chevrons, reverse chevrons, a row of flowers or other art, etc.

An American Manicure is an alternative to the traditional French Manicure. It usually consists of a stark white tip (an off-white polish) and a sheer pink or beige on the nail bed.

There is a subtle difference about the white colour at the free edge. Most people think of the French Manicure as having very white tip where as the American Manicure is more natural looking with softer white tip.

The French/American Manicure, or any clear, light or white colour, will turn yellow if you overexpose your nails to the sun, heat or tanning bed. We have a special top coat that helps reducing the yellowing of your French/American Manicure.

Artificial Nails include Gel, Acrylic, Silk, Fiberglass, Linen, and Paper. Standing out from the crowd is Gel due to its strength and durability. Gel Nail is becoming one of the most popular artificial nails now.

Silk/Fiberglass Nail is lighter and looks natural; however, it won’t stay very well if you happen to wash your hands a lot. Gel/Acrylic Nail is much stronger, and you can do almost any kind of work. A skillful nail technician can make Gel/Acrylic Nail also look natural and light.

Gel Polish combines the strength of gel and vibrant colour of polish to create the perfect manicure. This unique Gel Polish is cured under an LED/UV light after each layer which makes it last 2-3 times longer than the typical nail polish. It remains shiny even weeks after application.

Gel Polish gives you the colour intensity needed to stand out in the crowd. There are some popular Gel Polish brands such as Shellac, Gelish, GP, GELeration, Perfect Match, Polish Pro, Gelez, P2, Gelac, and Gelify.

The safe and regular nail extension is no more than 1/3 the length of the nail bed. This length is also good for the beginner. You should be very careful if your nail is longer than half of the nail bed; and it’s very dangerous if your nail is longer than the length of your nail bed.

No, they can’t. However, mold and fungus can grow under the artificial nails, which are lifting, cracking or breaking, and even under the natural nails, because of lacking a regular and professional nail care.

There is absolutely no reason for you to worry about wearing artificial nails. Today, many preventive medicines are available to you, which, when used daily, will condition your nails and cuticles, and also prevent you from getting the mold or fungus. Ask our nail technicians about these products

There are some good products that can cure nail mold or fungus. You should need the advice from your dermatologist, or your trustworthy nail technician, before buying these products. Our nail technicians can recommend you the good products on the market now.

There are five common nail shapes:

• Square: The free edge is straight across. This shape is strong because of its full width at the free edge. This shape may cause injury to the skin because of its sharp corners.
• Round: The free edge is round comforting to the fingertip. Male customers usually choose this shape because of their natural round fingertip.
• Oval: The free edge is oval. Most professional customers who usually have their hands on display choose this shape. It looks attractive.
• Pointed: Top of the free edge is narrow and pointed. This shape is suited to thin hands with narrow nail beds; however, it is weak and breaks easily.
• Square-Round: This shape is the combination of square shape and round shape. The front edge of the free edge is straight across with the corners rounded off. This shape is strong and suited to those who work with their hands. It looks young and is the most popular nail shape now.

No, you may not. When you glue your lifted nails, you may trap the moisture and dirt under your nails, and fungus may start growing. You need to go to a nail salon to have a proper and professional repair.

Apply top coat every two or three days, wear gloves when gardening and doing dishes, dry under your nails with the hair dryer after taking a shower, and return to your nail salon every two weeks for the maintenance service usually called “Fill”, “Refill” or “Fill-in”.

You may. But that’s not a good idea, because nail salon is not a safe place for kids due to the hazards of all equipment and chemicals. Should you bring your children along, they must be kept with you the entire time in the salon. However, you cannot expect your nail technician to do a good job while your child is sitting on your lap (or you are talking on the phone).

Please remember that keeping your nails beautiful, healthy and in good shape is your responsibility with the help of your trustworthy nail technician. We hope you will find a good nail technician to take care of your nails. Having beautiful nails will make you feel proud of yourself, and also will make you look more attractive and distinguished in the crowd.
