What Is Spa Manicure?
A spa manicure expands on the classic service by adding a sugar or salt scrub exfoliation, a hydrating mask or paraffin wrap, and an extended massage using nourishing oils or creams.

Common Spa Manicure Scenarios
Post-Summer Recovery
After San Diego summers of beach days and outdoor events, clients book spa manicures to restore moisture stripped by salt, sun, and repeated sunscreen application.
Santa Ana Wind Season
San Diego's dry fall winds cause rapid skin dehydration - the spa manicure's mask and extended massage replenish moisture faster than daily lotion alone.
Self-Care Appointment
Clients who want more than a quick polish change book the spa manicure as a dedicated relaxation and skin treatment that goes well beyond cosmetic results.
Our Spa Manicure Process
Extended Warm Soak
Hands soak in a mineralizing bath infused with essential oils to soften skin, loosen dry patches, and prepare the cuticles for thorough, gentle trimming.
Exfoliation Treatment
A sugar or sea salt scrub is massaged into the hands, wrists, and lower forearms to remove dead skin cells and improve circulation before the mask step.
Hydrating Mask or Paraffin Wrap
A deeply moisturizing cream mask is applied and wrapped in warm towels - or optional paraffin wax - to lock in hydration for 8 to 10 minutes.
Extended Massage and Polish
A full hand and forearm massage with nourishing oil follows the mask, then nails are shaped and finished with your choice of regular or gel polish.
Spa Manicure - Frequently Asked Questions
The spa manicure adds a full exfoliation step, a hydrating mask or paraffin treatment, and a longer massage to the standard service. It takes approximately 60 to 75 minutes compared to the 30 to 45 minutes of a classic manicure.
Paraffin wax is generally very well tolerated even by sensitive skin because it is applied warm rather than hot and contains no harsh chemicals. If you have a latex sensitivity or broken skin on your hands, let us know before your appointment so we can adjust.
For maintaining soft, healthy skin in San Diego's climate, we recommend a spa manicure once or twice a month. Many clients alternate between a quick classic manicure and a full spa treatment to balance time and budget throughout the month.
Yes - the spa manicure includes your choice of standard or gel polish from our full color wall. We apply it after the mask and massage steps so the nails are clean, dry, and perfectly prepped for maximum polish adhesion and longevity.
