Classic Manicure
Regular polish, applied with the same precision we bring to everything else. For colour you can change on a whim — or no colour at all.
01 · WHAT IT IS
What it is.
A classic manicure is the traditional service: careful preparation, shaping, cuticle work, and a finish in regular polish — or a clean, buffed no-colour finish if you’d rather. No lamps, no gel, nothing that needs a machine to remove.
It suits people who like to change their colour with their mood, who prefer to keep coatings off the nail, or who simply want tidy, polished hands for the week ahead. Same specialists, same standards — just the classic method.
There’s a 30-minute file-and-polish for when the shape is fine and only the colour needs attention, and a gentle 25-minute children’s manicure done entirely by hand.
02 · WHY IT WORKS
Why clients choose it.
Colour on your terms.
Regular polish comes off at home in a minute — change it as often as you like.
Nothing on the nail for weeks.
No soak-off, no e-file removal next visit. The lightest-touch option we offer.
The prep is the point.
Cuticle work and shaping get the same attention as in our gel services — that's what makes polish sit well.
A no-colour option.
Full manicure finished with buffing and oil for hands that look groomed, not done.
Quick when you need it.
The 30-minute file and polish keeps you presentable between full appointments.
One for the children.
A gentle, by-hand manicure for younger visitors — 25 minutes, no machines, plenty of patience.
03 · YOUR VISIT
Your visit, step by step.
Consultation.
Shape, length, colour — and whether classic is actually the right call. If your week needs gel, we'll say so.
Preparation.
Shaping and thorough cuticle work, done with the care that makes the finish last as long as regular polish can.
The finish.
Base, two coats of colour, top coat — or a smooth buff and oil for the no-colour version. Then proper drying time; we won't hurry you out.
Aftercare.
Treat polish gently for the first few hours, and use cuticle oil daily. When it's time for a change, it comes off at home.
04 · PRICES
Prices.
Base prices. Removal of an existing gel coating is listed separately on the full price list.
05 · GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
Five to seven days of good wear for most clients — regular polish is honest about being temporary. If you need two weeks or more, gel is the better tool; we'll help you choose.
Classic if you want regular polish, a lighter touch, or a shorter visit. Russian if you want gel applied flush to the cuticle and a month of wear. They're different answers to different questions.
Everything except the polish: shaping, full cuticle work, buffing and oil. Hands look cared for rather than lacquered — it's a favourite with clients who can't wear colour to work.
Gentle filing, tidy-up and polish if they'd like it — all by hand, no machines, at whatever pace the child sets. Twenty-five minutes, and they leave rather pleased with themselves.
Of course — some clients have a signature colour and we respect that. Otherwise, choose from ours; the collection is kept current.
