More information

What the Classic Manicure (Silver Level) includes

This service focuses on both the look of your nails and the feel of your hands, with a clear start to finish routine.

  • Hand exfoliation to lift away dry, dull skin and smooth rough patches.
  • Warm paraffin wax to deeply soften the skin, especially helpful for dryness around knuckles and cuticles.
  • Hand and lower arm massage to ease tension and leave hands feeling comfortable and hydrated.
  • Cuticle tidy and nail prep to create a clean nail plate, ready for polish.
  • Cut and file to shape the nails evenly and suit your day to day.
  • Gel polish or classic nail polish finish in the shade you choose, for a glossy, put together result.

Who usually books this classic manicure

  • Your hands feel dry and you want immediate softness, not just colour.
  • You want nails shaped and even, with tidy cuticles and a clean finish.
  • You are choosing between gel for longer wear or classic polish for easy at home changes.
  • You have an event, holiday, or busy week coming up and want nails that look neat in photos and in real life.

How your appointment flows

We start by checking your nail condition and agreeing your shape and finish. Exfoliation and paraffin wax focus on softening and comfort, then we complete detailed nail prep, cuticles, cut and file. Your manicure is finished with gel polish or classic polish, applied neatly for a smooth, glossy look.

Aftercare for smoother hands and longer lasting polish

Use hand cream daily, and add cuticle oil if you have it, especially after washing up or using hand sanitiser. Wear gloves for cleaning and gardening, and try not to use your nails as tools. If you choose gel, avoid picking at the edges, it can damage the natural nail underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between gel polish and classic nail polish in this manicure?
Gel polish is cured under a lamp and is chosen when you want a harder wearing finish. Classic polish air dries and is ideal if you like changing colour often or removing it at home.
Is paraffin wax safe for sensitive or very dry hands?
Paraffin wax is used to gently warm and soften the skin, which many people find soothing for dryness. If you have broken skin, irritation, or a skin condition you are managing, let us know so we can adjust the treatment steps.
Do I need to remove old gel before my Classic Manicure appointment?
If you arrive with gel on your nails, it usually needs removing before fresh gel or polish can be applied neatly. It is best to book gel removal alongside your manicure so there is enough time to do it properly.
How long will my manicure last?
That depends on your lifestyle and whether you choose gel or classic polish. Gel typically lasts longer for most people, while classic polish can chip sooner, especially with lots of washing up, typing, or cleaning.
Can I choose my nail shape and length during the manicure?
Yes, we will agree your shape at the start and file to suit your natural nails and what feels practical for you. If you are growing your nails out, we can keep the shape consistent to help them look even as they grow.
