Frequently Asked Questions
What is a manicure & pedicure?
A manicure is a treatment for fingernails that usually involves trimming, shaping and painting. There are a variety of styles involved in a manicure depending on personal preference. Examples include standard nail polish, gel and shellac finishes, and acrylics. Oftentimes a manicure will involve treatment of the hands as well, such as a hand massage and moisturising creams.
A pedicure is much the same process, but for the feet and toes. The pedicure process typically involves a foot bath, exfoliation and toenail maintenance, usually with polish as well. A foot massage is traditionally included in a pedicure.
A mani & pedi is a complete treatment for the hands and feet, and is a wonderful way to relax and give back to yourself or someone else.
