Manicures are often reduced to the polish application, but they address a multitude of nail concerns. Common concerns include cracked, dry cuticles, brittle nails, and nail ridges.
Our Classic Manicure is a great treatment for many common nail concerns. We buff out the top of the surface of the nail making it as smooth as possible. In addition to the massage and paraffin application, we use vitamin e lotion and cuticle oil nourishes the hands and nails with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
We offer extras such as gel polish application (a form of shellac polish) and removal. We also offer shellac and gel polish removal as a stand-alone service.

Anti-Fungal Tx PÉDICARE
Price: $125
Timing: Up to 1hr 45min
Fungal growth on your nails can lead to discomfort, deformities, and discolouration. Infected nails are treated to help prevent transmission and further complications.
Your nail care treatment plan will require follow-up service and use of the anti-fungal solution and home care instructions provided with your service.
Includes aftercare: anti-fungal drops.
Ingrown Nail PEDÍCARE
Price: $125
Timing: Up to 1hr 45min.
Ingrown toenails can cause discomfort and lead to infection when left untreated. Pressure is relieved by clearing debris and carefully trimming the ingrown portion of your nail.
A specialized nail brace is secured onto the affected nail to help guide the toenail as it grows and prevents it from back in the tissues of the nail wall.
Cuticles peeling can be a sign of overgrown cuticles. They are basically an overgrowth of the surrounding tissue of the nail bed and the cuticle. The overgrowth is typically caused by neglect/unkept nails. If you have overgrown cuticles you could be at risk of developing infections on or around the nails. Infections can occur due to the overgrowth causing hangnails. Hangnails cause the cuticles to split which opens the skin further to bacterial infections that can be painful.
Treatment
The treatment for peeling cuticles is a manicure. During our manicure service, we push the cuticles back and trim away any loose or dead tissue surrounding the nail bringing it back to a healthy length.
If you want to give yourself a manicure at home, be careful to not push the cuticles back too far. Pushing back too far can be painful and puts you at risk of infection.
Post care
Using a nail brush to clean around the cuticle areas will help keep them at a manageable length. Also, try using hand cream and cuticle oil on a daily basis.
Regular manicures will help if you are prone to overgrown cuticles.
What is it and is there a nail biting treatment? Nail biting is also known as onychophagy. It is caused by a nervous, compulsive habit of biting your fingernails due to anxiety.
Home tips
Have you tried bitters on your fingernails? Bitters are like a nail polish that tastes horrible so it prevents you from wanting to put your fingers in your mouth.
Some clients have shared with us that having polish or gel polish helps them leave their fingers alone because they look nice.
When painting your nails at home, use polish with a nail strengthening base coat.
Treatment
Manicures help maximize a nail’s growth potential (assuming the client is ready to cease the nail biting). They achieve this through professional nail and cuticle work. A paraffin dip softens the damaged skin surrounding the nail.
Your nails will need to be strengthen up in order to grow past the tip of the finger. Nail hardeners do a really good job in strengthening your nails.
Post care
Use a nail brush as often as possible. We recommend daily hand lotion use, multiple times a day.
