Dry Manicure FAQs

What is a dry manicure?

A dry manicure is performed without soaking your hands in water. The service commonly includes nail shaping and cuticle care, followed by polish if selected. Ask us which options are available when booking.

What happens during an appointment?

Your nails are shaped, and cuticle care is completed as part of the selected service. If you choose polish, it is applied after preparation. You can share your preferred shape and finish before we begin.

Should I remove old polish beforehand?

You can arrive with bare nails or existing polish. Let us know if you need removal so we can confirm whether it is included in your chosen service and allow for the right appointment time.

How should I care for my manicure afterward?

Follow any aftercare guidance provided during your visit. Avoid picking at polish, and use hand and nail moisturizer as part of your routine. Wear gloves for tasks that involve cleaning products or prolonged water exposure.

How do I choose a nail shape?

Consider your preferred nail length, daily activities, and the look you like. We can discuss shapes such as round, square, or oval and help you settle on a practical option during your appointment.
