Our French Manicure Includes
You’ll be delighted visiting us for a stunning French manicure! We strive to exceed your expectations in every detail of this magnificent manicure style. Discover what’s included in our French manicure at Larisa’s salon.
1. Manicure Consultation
We’ll start with a consultation discussing your French manicure style. Whether you’re looking for classic white tips, pink-and-white or other variations, we’ll be able to do it all! After a careful analysis of your current nails and condition, our nail technician will give recommendations, and assist you in your nail goals!
2. Nail Cleaning and Polish Removal
We’ll start with using gentle acetone to remove any old nail polish, and tools to remove any nail elements and embellishments. This will start our foundation in creating seamless strokes and finishes.
3. Nail Shaping and Filing
Our technician will then ahead and cut the nail based on your desired length and shape. From there, we’ll use a nail file to create a seamless shape from stiletto to coffin, or almond to square. We’ll also buff the nail plate to remove ridges for a clean foundation.
4. French Manicure Cuticle Care
Dip your hands afterwards in a warm soak of cuticle softener. This will not only relax you, but help soften your cuticles. We’ll push it back with a nail tool and trim any excess cuticles for a neat nailbed.
5. French Tips Application
A base coat is first applied to protect the nails. Then, we’ll paint crispy French tips at the ends with steady hands. A second coat is then layered on top of the tips in a nude or sheer polish for a seamless transition from pink to white. A glossy or matte top coat is lastly applied to achieve long-lasting results and prevents chipping of nails.
6. Nail Curing and Drying
After application, we’ll use a UV or LED lamp depending on type of polish to dry/cure the nails. This helps fasten the drying process and ensures the nails are fully set/smudge-free.
7. French Manicure Final Touches
Enjoy your new and fresh French manicure! Our technicians will examine your nails one final time, make sure they are to your desired liking, and finally add cuticle oil/lotion to your hands to prevent dryness and nourish the nails.
