What is a Manicure?
A manicure is mostly a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands. For pedicure visit the pedicure link in the home page. You can perform this treatment at home, but if you want it professionally done visit “Madam Nail Salon.”
Nails are a form of self-expression that beautifies your fingers. People tend to go for nail extensions because they don’t have to worry about waiting for their nails to grow.
Manicures are excellant for maintaining healthy nails, cuticles and skin. Regardless of your profession, people will notice your hands, and the cleanliness that tells people that you are confident and ready to tackle the world.
The process that Madam Nail Salon provides is to give you a healthy and beautiful nails. If your nails are already relatively short and you need just to file them perfectly, we are the salon for you. if your nails are very long them we will file them short so that we can treat them. We will file your nails to your liking.
Nail Filing and Shaping
Our technicians use nail files to gently take down and shape the edges of the nails. We will ask you what nail shape you would prefer, with the standards being round or square. There are many more nail shapes, but these are the most common. It’s about aesthetic preferences and if you’re really not sure, just ask the professional what they think will suit your nails best.

Cuticles are the dry skin surrounding the nail plate, where your nail and finger meet. At Madam Nail Salon, we carry out dry manicures. We use a cuticle remover to soften and remove the dead cuticle using a sterilized pusher and cuticle nipper.
In the case of men’s manicures, we will polish and buff your nails. We will create a consistent and shiny look.
Painting is done in multiple steps to attain a glossy and long-lasting result. A clear base coat is applied to your nails to help the polish stick better to your nails. It also creates a protective barrier between your nails and the damaging (staining, peeling and brittleness) effects of nail polish.
The next step is to apply two coats of nail polish. One coat of polish often doesn’t give a salon quality finish to it. And too many coats can get clumpy and messy. Finally, your technician will paint on a top coat. This coat acts to seal the colored polish, which prevents chipping, and also gives your nails that desired glossy appearance.
Painting nails isn’t quite as easy as it looks. It’s all about attention to detail in getting the polish as close as possible without letting it bleed. Plus, it takes a true expert to achieve a smooth, evenly distributed, and glossy finish. There’s precision in sealing the edges of the nails with polish to prevent chipping.
Depending on which type of manicure you’re going for, it can range from 20-45 minutes. Express manicures include filing and shaping finished with buffing or painting the nails. We include cuticle work, and hand massages in our classic manicure. Our Shellac manicures will take a little longer as each painted layer is set under a LED lamp.
