At the chair in Kilpauk
01 — Which tier
Bare, Ritual or Restore.
The three tiers differ in time and depth, not in standard. Bare is twenty minutes: shape, cuticles, oil. Ritual is the one most people book. Restore is an hour, for hands or feet that have been neglected and need more than a tidy. If you can’t decide, book Ritual and tell us at the chair; we’ll adjust.
02 — Cuticles
We don’t cut living skin.
The skin around the nail is a seal. We push, soften and tidy it; we don’t cut it back to make a nail look longer, because that is how infections start. If you want to know why, the Journal has a note on it: the skin around the nail is living.
Every reusable metal tool comes out of a sealed autoclave pouch at your chair. Files and buffers are single-use and go home with you.
03 — Two people
Bring someone.
Friends, sisters, mothers and daughters book side by side often. Each person has her own slot, so book two. Men are welcome for every service; most come for a pedicure or a manicure before an event.
