If it’s your first time receiving one of our treatments we understand that it can be a little daunting! We hope this guide can help you to gain a better understanding of what to expect at your appointment and lead to a more relaxed first experience with us…
PLAIN MANICURE
At your manicure appointment we will push back your cuticles and trim away any dead skin, scrape any cuticle away from the nail plate to give a neat finish. Any dead/hard skin around the nails will be lightly exfoliated. The nails are then lightly buffed and trimmed/filed into the shape you desire. We then apply an exfoliating hand scrub and then rinse. To finish we moisturise cuticles with an oil/balm and nourish the skin with a hydrating hand cream.
Time Taken – 20 mins
GEL MANICURE WITH PLAIN COLOUR
We begin a Gel Manicure with pushing back and trimming away any dead cuticle from the nail plate to ensure a clean finish for the gel polish. Nails are then filed into the desired shape and lightly buffed ready for Gel application. We first apply a base layer of ‘Builder in a Bottle’. Our Builder/BIAB is completely soak off and non-damaging to the nails. It is applied in the same way as a regular varnish and then cured under UV/LED light. Whilst curing, the BIAB hardens to form a strong base for us to apply the Gel colour of your choice!
Finally we can apply either a Shiny or Matte top coat to ensure your nails remain beautiful for weeks! Your hands are finished with a moisturiser and cuticle oil.
We advise that you do not attempt to soak/file/pick off your own Gels. When removed safely using only the soak off method at Beechwood Beauty, we can ensure our gel will come away from the nail plate easily and without causing any damage. However, we CANNOT guarantee this if you choose to remove them at home or at another salon. Soak off is FREE at repeat appointments. A £7 soak off fee will only be charged when removing another salons work.
All of our products are The Gel Bottle inc, 100% Vegan Friendly and Cruelty Free.
Time Taken – 1 hour (Short Nails) – 1 hour 20mins (Long Nails)
