Dip Powder Mani. $29.95
star_borderstar_borderstar_borderstar_borderstar_border
Artificial nails can toughen up or lengthen your existing nails. Learn how blobs of gels and liquids harden into gleaming finger-armor. Even if you don’t go in for rhinestones, elaborate nail-polish paintings, or glitter tips, there’s some complex chemistry behind artificial nails. With acrylics—the most popular type of artificial nail—the science starts as soon as the technician combines an acrylic powder (a polymer) and a special liquid (a monomer) and brushes it carefully onto the nail. The combination of these two substances with the air sets off a chain reaction, in which the monomers link up to form an expanding network of polymer chains, resulting in a solid, semi-flexible shield over the natural nail.

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
French Manicure
French Manicures are arguably the most classic style of manicure. A slick of pale pink or nude polish is applied to the entire nail, followed by white varnish to the tips of the nails.
French manicures are chic, classic and instantly give your hands a polished look. If you want to go the non-traditional route, you can even paint the tips neon, gold, or any color under the sun!
If you fancy an alternative to the classic pink and white French manicure, why not opt for a pop of color or a metallic shade on your tips?
You can also try a “moonicure”, an upside down French manicure which involves painting little moons on the base of the nails.
If you’re unsure on which color combination to go with, your nail technician should be able to advise you on which shades will work with your skintone. Happy manicuring!

Gel Manicure
A gel manicure uses gel to bind synthetic nails to your natural ones. Gel is applied over your fingernails just like regular nail polish, and after each layer is painted on your manicurist will place your hands under a small UV light for a short period to harden the gel.
Clear gel manicures are very popular, for a more natural look. If you’re a nail art fan, gel manicures are the perfect treatment – glitter and crystals will adhere very well to gel manicures.
Before you get a gel manicure, you should be aware that while this type of treatment typically yields impressive, glossy nails, there are a few things to look out for:
Show more
- Gel manicures are typically more expensive than other types of manicure.
- There is also the upkeep factor: if you want your nails to look their best, you will need to visit your manicurist regularly (every 4 weeks).
- During the removal process, damage to your nail bed can occur.
- It is also unhealthy to regularly exposure your hands to UV light.

Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax treatments are a luxurious treat that can help you achieve baby-soft skin. Typically applied during manicures and pedicures, this type of soft wax bonds to the skin very well. Hands and feet are submerged in the wax, wrapped in plastic and left to soak for 15-30 minutes.
Paraffin wax treatments are great for winter, when skin is prone to dryness and cracking. Calming essential oils are often added to the wax to add to this soothing treatment, with lavender being the most common. Once the skin has soaked in the wax, it is removed in one piece, and your skin is left soft and smooth!
Paraffin wax treatments have been used since Roman times for therapeutic reasons. Today, those who suffer from conditions including arthritis, eczema, inflammation, psoriasis and stiff joints can benefit from these treatments.
Skin will be left highly moisturised, circulation is increased and your mind is soothed by the relaxing sensations of the hot wax.

Pedicure
Kick up your heels and enjoy a spa staple with a pedicure. Your feet will be polished and massaged to pretty perfection, and you'll leave a more relaxed and more comfortable person.
During a spa pedicure you should expect your feet to be soaked in warm water and your nails to be cut and shaped.
Your nail spa therapist will use a pumice stone to buff away dry skin, and will follow up with an exfoliation. Then, she will lather up with lotion for a massage of your feet and lower legs before toenails are polished.
Many spa pedicures offer a paraffin wax treatment as an add-on service. This involves dipping both feet into melted paraffin wax in order to soften and moisturize the skin. Once the wax cools, it becomes hard and is wiped away.
Pedicures are a fantastic gift idea for anyone looking for a quick fix. Healthy nails and feet are the cornerstone of spa culture, after all, so book a treatment today! Remember to bring your Havaianas!

Shellac Nails
Have you ever wished your manicures would last longer? If so, Shellac Manicures may be for you.
Shellac manicures last for weeks without chipping: the special formula brushes on like regular nail varnish (directly on to your natural nail) and lasts 3-4 weeks. You’ll need to change the polish only once new nail growth starts.
Shellac nails are suitable for most people, unless you have very unhealthy nails such as damaged nail beds or split or peeling nails.
If your nails aren’t yet healthy enough, your manicurist can start a program with you to bring your nails back to health. Also note that Shellac nails can only be applied by a trained, licensed manicurist. This isn’t something you can do at home.
You can, however, remove Shellac at home with 100% acetone. More “green” nail varnish removers are also available. It is easier and quicker to have Shellac nails removed at the salon.

Mani-Pedis are a fantastic gift idea for anyone who needs a lot of relaxation but doesn’t have a lot of time. They help ensure healthy nails, hands, and feet and are a fun way to change up your look!
First select your polish. Whether you select a gel or a regular polish is up to you. Gels last up to two weeks and require you to go back to the nail salon to have them soaked off properly. A regular manicure will last up to a week.
During a manicure at your local nail salon, you should expect that your nails are soaked in warm water to soften the cuticle, shaped using sanitized cuticle nippers, filed into a shape you choose, and then polished.
During a spa pedicure you should expect for your feet to also be soaked in warm water and nails to be cut and shaped. Your nail spa therapist will then use a pumice stone to buff away dry skin and follow up with an exfoliation and lotion massage of your feet and lower legs before toenails are polished.

Botox
Kiss those wrinkles goodbye with Botox. A highly purified form of botulinum toxin A, Botox is injected in very small amounts into specific muscles and acts by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles to paralyze them.
Many states stipulate that only medical doctors may administer Botox; some states allow registered nurses or physician’s assistants to deliver Botox with doctor supervision.
In addition to using Botox for wrinkles, Botox has been proven to help with migraines and excessive sweating.
Medical spas are generally a hybrid of a medical office and a day spa operated under a physician’s license and care. With treatments and products that are stronger, medical-grade or physician-strength, a medical spa is more about dramatic visible results and less about relaxing and pampering treatments, though many make an effort to combine the two, offering medical treatments in a spa-like environment.
Be sure to ask questions of spa management before booking.

Detox
Are you feeling sluggish or lacking energy? A detox might be just what you need. Benefits of a detox include: clearer skin, better sleep, a flatter stomach, less toxins, reduced stress and improved digestion.
Whether you choose 3 days, or 3 weeks, a detox has the power to change your eating habits and cravings.
While there are many benefits to undergoing a cleanse, during the actual program you may experience difficult symptoms.
During the first few days of a juice cleanse, for example, you might feel accumulated toxins releasing from your body. Achy limbs, flu-like symptoms and hunger are very common side effects.
To help you persevere through the first stages of a detox, we recommend that you drink lots of water (at least 8 glasses per day), and treat yourself to an indulgent bath each night. Fill the bath with Epsom salts or a few drops of essential oils to help draw the toxins out of your body and ease your aching limbs. Herbal teas also help.
Treat yourself to a massage mid-way through or after your detox as a way to reward yourself for your efforts. The massage will also help draw toxins out of your body.

Haircuts & Color
If you’re looking for a fabulous stylist to add some bold bangs or face-framing layers, Spafinder has a salon and stylist near you. Find the perfect master colorist to give you a natural balayage or a full-head of highlights and lowlights.
Start here to find special offers in your area or review our comprehensive list of hair salon partners in your neighborhood looking to provide any hairstyle you may desire.
Use these tips from Fabian Lliguin, famed hair stylist and founder of vegan hair care line, Rahua, to make the most of your next hair appointment:
Show more
- Do your research; find a reputable hair salon with an excellent training program.
- If your budget allows, make an appointment with the head stylist.
- Go au naturale. Come in with your hair dry and in its natural state. This helps the stylist see your “true hair” (wavy, straight, etc.) in order to determine the best cut for you.
- Be prompt! Arriving on time allows for a full consultation prior to the shampoo and cut. If you show up late, frequently you’re rushed straight to a sink.
- Don’t be shy. Ask the stylist questions during your consultation. Some top questions to keep in mind: is my hair suited for short hairstyles? Will this be easy to maintain? How will the natural hair growth process affect the look? Then, sit back and let the magic happen!

Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal treatments offer semi-permanent reduction of hair growth by using laser light to target the melanin in hair follicles. It’s important to remember the procedure is most effective on fair-skinned candidates with dark hair.
This long-lasting method of hair removal, known as laser hair removal or IPL removal, destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
Does laser hair removal work? It can take up to six sessions to garner desired results, but results can be permanent.
Anticipate a larger bill than with other hair removal treatments, but keep in mind that the pros will far outweigh the cons.
A handheld device sends a pulsed light to the skin and destroys the hair follicle. Within two weeks following treatment, hair will begin to fall out.
You may require up to six sessions, spaced out in monthly intervals, in order to get optimal results since hair is always growing in different stages.
Those with dark hair and light skin are prime candidates since the laser seeks out darkness. Thicker hair type tends to lead to more pain; numbing creams can be used to ease the pain.

Waxing
Waxing is a longer-lasting alternative to shaving for those looking for a hair removal option. The process involves the use of strip wax and hard wax to pull and remove hair from the root. Whether you choose Brazilian waxing, body waxing, eyebrow waxing, or upper-lip waxing, you can expect results to last from two to eight weeks.
Where shaving removes just the surface of the hair, leaving the follicle, waxing removes the hair from the root, leaving skin more smooth and hairless much longer. Over time, hair grows back lighter and finer, making the process less painful.
To start, the area that will be waxed will be cleaned and disinfected. Soft wax, used for larger areas, is applied thinly and removed with paper or muslin strips. Hard wax, used on smaller areas such as the bikini zone and face, is applied thickly and allowed to dry before the aesthetician removes it.
Wax is always removed in the direction opposite the hair growth. After the area is clean of wax residue, a cream is applied. The entire hair follicle should be seen on the strip if done correctly.
For those with sensitive skin, waxing can be painful. If you are worried about the pain factor, take two Advil prior to your appointment. You should also exfoliate your skin the day before and avoid using lotions the day of your wax.

French Manicure
French Manicures are arguably the most classic style of manicure. A slick of pale pink or nude polish is applied to the entire nail, followed by white varnish to the tips of the nails.
French manicures are chic, classic and instantly give your hands a polished look. If you want to go the non-traditional route, you can even paint the tips neon, gold, or any color under the sun!
If you fancy an alternative to the classic pink and white French manicure, why not opt for a pop of color or a metallic shade on your tips?
You can also try a “moonicure”, an upside down French manicure which involves painting little moons on the base of the nails.
If you’re unsure on which color combination to go with, your nail technician should be able to advise you on which shades will work with your skintone. Happy manicuring!

Gel Manicure
A gel manicure uses gel to bind synthetic nails to your natural ones. Gel is applied over your fingernails just like regular nail polish, and after each layer is painted on your manicurist will place your hands under a small UV light for a short period to harden the gel.
Clear gel manicures are very popular, for a more natural look. If you’re a nail art fan, gel manicures are the perfect treatment – glitter and crystals will adhere very well to gel manicures.
Before you get a gel manicure, you should be aware that while this type of treatment typically yields impressive, glossy nails, there are a few things to look out for:
Show more
- Gel manicures are typically more expensive than other types of manicure.
- There is also the upkeep factor: if you want your nails to look their best, you will need to visit your manicurist regularly (every 4 weeks).
- During the removal process, damage to your nail bed can occur.
- It is also unhealthy to regularly exposure your hands to UV light.

Paraffin Wax
Paraffin wax treatments are a luxurious treat that can help you achieve baby-soft skin. Typically applied during manicures and pedicures, this type of soft wax bonds to the skin very well. Hands and feet are submerged in the wax, wrapped in plastic and left to soak for 15-30 minutes.
Paraffin wax treatments are great for winter, when skin is prone to dryness and cracking. Calming essential oils are often added to the wax to add to this soothing treatment, with lavender being the most common. Once the skin has soaked in the wax, it is removed in one piece, and your skin is left soft and smooth!
Paraffin wax treatments have been used since Roman times for therapeutic reasons. Today, those who suffer from conditions including arthritis, eczema, inflammation, psoriasis and stiff joints can benefit from these treatments.
Skin will be left highly moisturised, circulation is increased and your mind is soothed by the relaxing sensations of the hot wax.

Pedicure
Kick up your heels and enjoy a spa staple with a pedicure. Your feet will be polished and massaged to pretty perfection, and you'll leave a more relaxed and more comfortable person.
During a spa pedicure you should expect your feet to be soaked in warm water and your nails to be cut and shaped.
Your nail spa therapist will use a pumice stone to buff away dry skin, and will follow up with an exfoliation. Then, she will lather up with lotion for a massage of your feet and lower legs before toenails are polished.
Many spa pedicures offer a paraffin wax treatment as an add-on service. This involves dipping both feet into melted paraffin wax in order to soften and moisturize the skin. Once the wax cools, it becomes hard and is wiped away.
Pedicures are a fantastic gift idea for anyone looking for a quick fix. Healthy nails and feet are the cornerstone of spa culture, after all, so book a treatment today! Remember to bring your Havaianas!

Shellac Nails
Have you ever wished your manicures would last longer? If so, Shellac Manicures may be for you.
Shellac manicures last for weeks without chipping: the special formula brushes on like regular nail varnish (directly on to your natural nail) and lasts 3-4 weeks. You’ll need to change the polish only once new nail growth starts.
Shellac nails are suitable for most people, unless you have very unhealthy nails such as damaged nail beds or split or peeling nails.
If your nails aren’t yet healthy enough, your manicurist can start a program with you to bring your nails back to health. Also note that Shellac nails can only be applied by a trained, licensed manicurist. This isn’t something you can do at home.
You can, however, remove Shellac at home with 100% acetone. More “green” nail varnish removers are also available. It is easier and quicker to have Shellac nails removed at the salon.

Whether you just want a basic grooming and polish or want to go all out with 3D art and gradients, manicures are an affordable gift for everyone – including yourself!
Mani-Pedis are a fantastic gift idea for anyone who needs a lot of relaxation but doesn’t have a lot of time. They help ensure healthy nails, hands, and feet and are a fun way to change up your look!
First select your polish. Whether you select a gel or a regular polish is up to you. Gels last up to two weeks and require you to go back to the nail salon to have them soaked off properly. A regular manicure will last up to a week.
During a manicure at your local nail salon, you should expect that your nails are soaked in warm water to soften the cuticle, shaped using sanitized cuticle nippers, filed into a shape you choose, and then polished.
During a spa pedicure you should expect for your feet to also be soaked in warm water and nails to be cut and shaped. Your nail spa therapist will then use a pumice stone to buff away dry skin and follow up with an exfoliation and lotion massage of your feet and lower legs before toenails are polished.

Here are some tips to get the best out of your blow dry bar experience:
Show more
- If you know the look you are "blow-ing" for, bring a photo. This will help the stylist and speed up your service.

Botox
Kiss those wrinkles goodbye with Botox. A highly purified form of botulinum toxin A, Botox is injected in very small amounts into specific muscles and acts by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles to paralyze them.
Many states stipulate that only medical doctors may administer Botox; some states allow registered nurses or physician’s assistants to deliver Botox with doctor supervision.
In addition to using Botox for wrinkles, Botox has been proven to help with migraines and excessive sweating.
Medical spas are generally a hybrid of a medical office and a day spa operated under a physician’s license and care. With treatments and products that are stronger, medical-grade or physician-strength, a medical spa is more about dramatic visible results and less about relaxing and pampering treatments, though many make an effort to combine the two, offering medical treatments in a spa-like environment.
Be sure to ask questions of spa management before booking.

Detox
Are you feeling sluggish or lacking energy? A detox might be just what you need. Benefits of a detox include: clearer skin, better sleep, a flatter stomach, less toxins, reduced stress and improved digestion.
Whether you choose 3 days, or 3 weeks, a detox has the power to change your eating habits and cravings.
While there are many benefits to undergoing a cleanse, during the actual program you may experience difficult symptoms.
During the first few days of a juice cleanse, for example, you might feel accumulated toxins releasing from your body. Achy limbs, flu-like symptoms and hunger are very common side effects.
To help you persevere through the first stages of a detox, we recommend that you drink lots of water (at least 8 glasses per day), and treat yourself to an indulgent bath each night. Fill the bath with Epsom salts or a few drops of essential oils to help draw the toxins out of your body and ease your aching limbs. Herbal teas also help.
Treat yourself to a massage mid-way through or after your detox as a way to reward yourself for your efforts. The massage will also help draw toxins out of your body.
