Whether you have just scheduled your first manicure or just considering the option, you probably have questions about what the process will entail. That is exactly what we will share with you here today. Once you head into your appointment at a nail salon in Jacksonville, FL, you’ll be aware of what is going to be happening which can alleviate any stress about doing something new. No matter where you go and what artist you choose, the steps are largely the same.
The Starting Steps
The first thing that will happen during a manicure is having your nail polish removed, if you currently are wearing it. You can also choose to handle this step on your own before your appointment if you prefer. After the polish is gone, your nails will be filed and shaped. There are various types of nail shapes from square to rounded and your technician can explain your options. This professional can also offer insight into the best shape for your unique nails. Then the technician will use a cuticle cream and push down your cuticles.
Massage and Soaking Steps
After your cuticles are complete, you will move into soaking. In many cases, one hand will be soaking while the technician works on the other. In most cases, the soaking is done in a warm water with some sort of fragrant oil treating it. In many cases, you will also receive a hand massage. This will typically be very relaxing and involve working with reflexology to hit your pressure points.
Coloring Steps
Now you can move onto having your nails painted. Expect to have tons of options. It can be overwhelming to see how many you can choose from. If you want something natural, you might consider a French manicure. Otherwise, you can go as big or as bold as you like. Some technicians will also offer small designs that make your nails stand out. No matter which color you choose, expect a base coat followed by two coats of color and a top coat.
Everything Else
Once the polish is on at the nail salon, your nails will be dried. This often occurs under a UV light. At this point, your manicure is complete unless you have a special need.
