Your service includes nail shaping, cuticle care, light exfoliation, and warm paraffin dips. The paraffin seals in moisture while you relax; finish includes lotion massage and polish if desired. Total time typically 45–60 minutes depending on add-ons.

Hydration typically lasts several days, with skin feeling noticeably softer for up to a week. Regular treatments extend benefits; daily moisturization at home helps maintain softness and prolongs paraffin's smoothing effects between salon visits.

We assess skin before applying paraffin. Small abrasions or severe eczema may contraindicate the treatment. If you have concerns, inform your technician — we can adjust service or recommend alternative hydrating treatments to ensure safety and comfort.

Yes — polish, gel polish, or nail art can be applied after the paraffin treatment. We allow time for hands to cool and absorb moisture before finishing. Speak with your technician about color choices or add-ons during booking or at appointment.

For maintenance, we recommend every two to four weeks depending on skin needs and lifestyle. Weekly sessions can help very dry hands. Technicians will suggest a personalized schedule to maximize hydration and nail health.

Contraindications include open wounds, active infections, severe dermatitis, certain circulatory conditions, or diabetes complications. Always disclose medical history and medications during booking. Our therapists will advise whether paraffin is appropriate or recommend safer alternative therapies for your hands.
