It is the classic choice for everyday wear, interviews or events when you want neat, glossy nails that feel as good as they look.

Hygiene sits at the heart of the service. Tools are disinfected, stations are sanitised and disposable files are used where appropriate. Your therapist will tailor pressure and products to your nail condition and skin sensitivity so you leave comfortable, hydrated and camera ready.

What’s Included

A thorough manicure that focuses on healthy nails and a flawless finish.

  • Shape and file for symmetry and length balance
  • Cuticle tidy using remover and precision nippers as needed
  • Gentle buff to refine the nail plate

Who It’s For

Ideal for natural nails that need tidy, shape and shine without gel or extensions. Great for first time clients, sensitive skin or anyone who prefers classic polish. If nails are thin or peeling, we can adapt technique and recommend a strengthening plan for future visits.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The service is 50 minutes. Please arrive 5 minutes early for a relaxed check in. If you currently wear gel or acrylic, book a removal service before your manicure so we can keep to time. Classic polish is touch dry in around 10 to 15 minutes and reaches full hardness in approximately 2 hours.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Keep hands dry and avoid heat or steam for 2 hours after application. Apply cuticle oil daily, wear gloves for chores, and file in one direction to maintain shape. Use hand cream regularly and avoid picking. Most clients rebook every 2 to 3 weeks for a tidy and colour refresh. If you notice lifting, irritation or damage, contact the salon for advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standard manicure and a gel manicure?
A standard manicure uses classic polish that air dries. It includes shaping, cuticle care, polish and hydration. A gel manicure uses LED cured gel for longer wear and requires a separate removal service.
Do I need to remove gel or acrylic before this service?
Yes. This manicure is for natural nails. If you have gel or acrylic on, please book a removal service before your appointment so we can keep to time and protect nail health.
How long will the polish take to dry?
Classic polish is usually touch dry within 10 to 15 minutes. It can take up to 2 hours to fully harden, so avoid heat, steam and water during that window.
Is the service suitable for sensitive skin or weak nails?
Yes. We tailor products and pressure and can keep removers gentle. If nails are thin or peeling, your therapist may suggest a strengthening plan for future visits.
How often should I book and how long is the appointment?
The appointment is 50 minutes. Most clients rebook every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain shape, health and a fresh polish finish.
