Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Express Manicure.

An Express Manicure typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on nail condition and polish choice. We focus on essential nail care and a neat polish application to get you in and out quickly while maintaining professional results.

This service includes nail trimming, shaping, cuticle grooming, light buffing, and a single coat or two of regular polish. It’s streamlined for efficiency but still delivers tidy, comfortable results for everyday wear.

Gel polish usually requires longer curing time and is not standard for Express Manicures. Ask at booking — we may accommodate gel if time allows or recommend a full manicure for proper gel application and lasting wear.

We can address minor concerns like rough edges or minor damage, but significant issues require a fuller treatment. Our technicians will assess your nails and recommend the best care, sometimes suggesting a regular manicure or treatment.

Longevity depends on daily activities and polish type; regular polish typically lasts 3–7 days before chipping. Use gentle care, gloves for chores, and a top coat to extend wear; schedule regular touch-ups as needed.

It helps if polish is removed, but our technicians can take off old polish quickly before service. Arriving with bare nails speeds up your appointment; removal may add a few extra minutes to the service.
