Manicure, Before And After Care Of A Manicure At Total Looks, from £14.50 to £35, Shellac £22.50 What you should get from a Manicure? When ever possible we lay you back on one of our reflexology chairs so you relax. During a manicure, you will get your hands professionally taken care of. The nails are cut (some times) and filed, your cuticles pushed back, and to finish off polish is applied. Expect smooth, fresh, elegant and well-groomed hands. Preparation for Manicure • Please remove your old polish unless it is Shellac before you come into the salon • Ask the therapist how they clean their manicure tools – they should be sterilized after each client. The Manicure A professional manicure usually lasts 45 minutes to 60 minutes. Your nails are cut and filed, according to your desired shape and length. Your hands are soaked in water or oils to soften the cuticles. Then your cuticles are pushed back. A hand massage follows, after which the polish of your choice is applied – base coat unless you are having Vinylux, 2 coats of colour and top coat. The colour usually lasts about 5 to 7 days – but this depends how well you take care of your hands. Once Leaving the Salon • The polish needs to dry completely – be careful with driving and digging into your handbag. Maintaining your Results • Moisturize your hands regularly –especially at night, before going to bed. • From time to time exfoliate your hands. • Filing your nails (if done correctly) will help to strengthen your nails. File in one direction only unless using a glass file – don’t file back and forth, back and forth, as this creates heat, which in turn weakens the nails. • Nourish your cuticle with cuticle oil (almond or olive oil will do). • Use gloves while doing tasks around the home, including washing the dishes. • When the polish starts chipping off, remove it with a non-acetone nail polish remover, or better still and your colour polish straight on top. • If you are applying colour yourself, always start with a base coat unless using Vinylux. Then 2 thin coats of your colour, and finish off with a top coat. • If you have a nail condition (such as soft or brittle nails) – it would have to be treated accordingly. • Once in a while, book a Total Looks Luxury Manicure, its heaven. //totallooks.mylocalsalon/onlinebooking
