What it is

Our nail menu runs from a simple file and polish to a full set of enhancements, all in the nail area at the salon in Penketh.

Manicures and pedicures include shaping, cuticle care and polish, with deluxe options for a longer, more indulgent treatment. Gel colour (Shellac or gel) is set under a lamp for a glossy, chip-resistant finish.

Enhancements add strength and length to your own nails. BIAB is a gel overlay for natural nails, Bio Sculpture is a gel system, and acrylic and Acrygel are built up on the nail with a gel finish. Infills, repairs, soak-offs and nail art are all available.

Who it suits

Nail treatments suit most adults, including anyone who wants neat nails for work or a special occasion. Overlays can suit people whose natural nails tend to split or bend.

Please tell your therapist about any skin or nail conditions, or if you have a known allergy to nail products. If you have signs of a nail or skin infection, we may ask you to wait until it has cleared before treating you. Gel and enhancement products can occasionally cause sensitivity, so let us know if you have noticed any redness or itching after previous treatments.

What to expect

  1. Before your treatment

    Your therapist will look at your nails and skin, talk through the shape and finish you would like, and remove any existing product if you have booked a soak-off.

  2. During your treatment

    Your nails are shaped, the cuticles are tidied, and the product is applied and set under a lamp. Pedicures include soaking and care for your feet and toenails. Treatment should not be painful, so tell us if anything is uncomfortable.

  3. Afterwards

    Gel products are set under the lamp, so your nails are dry to the touch and you can use your hands straight away.

Gel colour typically lasts 2 to 3 weeks. Enhancements need an infill every 2 to 3 weeks.

Aftercare

Apply cuticle oil and hand cream each day to keep nails and skin flexible. Wear gloves for cleaning and washing up, and avoid using your nails as tools. Do not pick, peel or bite gel or acrylic, as it can lift layers of your natural nail. Return for an infill or a professional soak-off rather than removing products at home.

For pedicures, moisturise your feet daily and wear comfortable shoes while your skin settles. If you notice redness, swelling or lifting around a nail, contact the salon for advice.

Questions

How do I know which nail treatment to choose?

If you want colour that lasts, gel colour is a popular choice. If you would like extra strength or length, BIAB, Bio Sculpture, acrylic and Acrygel are the enhancement options. Tell your therapist how you use your hands and the look you want, and they will guide you.

Can I have my old gel or acrylic removed at the same appointment?

Yes. Choose the soak-off option when you book so we allow enough time. Please do not peel or pick at gel or acrylic, as this can damage the nail underneath. BIAB removal is offered for BIAB applied at the salon.

How often do I need an infill?

Enhancements usually need an infill every 2 to 3 weeks as your nails grow. The infill options on the price list show the time to allow.

Can I add nail art or gel colour to a manicure or pedicure?

Yes. Nail art can be added to your appointment, and gel colour can be added to a deluxe manicure or to a pedicure. Choose the add-on when you book so we allow the right time.
