Manicures

The purpose of a manicure is the prevention of hang-nail formation; nail damages such as splits, tears and fragile tips. The accompanying massage of the hands improve and increase the blood circulation, suppleness and flexibility of the hands and wrist. It also discourages wrinkling of the skin on the hand which is one of the first body parts to show the signs of aging.

Allure Salon shapes the nail using a nail cutter and nail filer; soaks the hands in luke warm water to which liquid soap is added; cleanse the nail; buff the cuticle; push the cuticle back gently using a cuticle pusher; exfoliate; massage of the hands; a warm, soothing paraffin dip. We then apply the first and second coat of nail polish.
