What is a Manicure? Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Appointment
A manicure is one of the most popular and relaxing beauty treatments for hands and nails. Whether you’re preparing for a special event, maintaining healthy nails, or simply indulging in some self-care, a manicure can make your hands look polished, beautiful, and well-groomed.
At Claws & Co. Nail Salon in Brooklyn, NY, our professional nail technicians combine expert skills with high-quality products to give you the perfect manicure experience.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
What Does a Manicure Include?
A manicure is more than just painting your nails. It’s a multi-step process designed to improve nail health, soften skin, and enhance your overall hand appearance. A standard manicure often includes:
Nail Shaping & Filing – To give your nails a clean, even shape.
Cuticle Care – Gently pushing back and trimming excess cuticle skin for healthy nail growth.
Exfoliation – Removing dead skin cells for softer, smoother hands.
Moisturizing Massage – Hydrating your skin while improving blood circulation.
Polish Application – Choosing from regular nail polish, gel, or long-lasting finishes.
Types of Manicures
There are several types of manicures to fit your style and needs:
Classic Manicure – Simple, clean, and timeless.
Gel Manicure – Chip-resistant polish that lasts up to two weeks.
French Manicure – Elegant white tips with a natural base.
Luxury Spa Manicure – Includes masks, scrubs, and extended massage.
Nail Art Manicure – Creative designs, patterns, and embellishments.
Benefits of Getting a Manicure
Regular manicures are not just about looks—they offer health and wellness benefits:
Keeps nails healthy and strong.
Prevents hangnails and dry skin.
Improves blood flow with massage.
Boosts confidence with clean, beautiful nails.
How Often Should You Get a Manicure?
On average, a manicure lasts 1–3 weeks, depending on the type of polish you choose and your daily activities. For best results, most clients return every two weeks to maintain healthy nails and a polished look.
