Manicure

manicure1_62779474-600x399The perfect treat for neglected nails.

Many of us regularly neglect our hands, nails and cuticles – leaving them feeling dry and rough.

If this sounds like you we believe it could be time to treat yourself to a manicure!

There are many nail treatments available to suit a variety of different needs.

At ProfessioNAIL our manicure will leave you with perfectly polished nails.

During your manicure, the therapist will use an emery board to shape your nails and file them to the correct length.

They will then carefully push back and trim your cuticle, to give a neat appearance.

You will be asked to choose your preferred colour of nail polish and your manicurist will apply the colour – just the treatment your tired hands need.

Not only will the manicure nourish your nails, but it will also leave you feeling nice and relaxed!

Spa Pedicure

spapedicure_130462706-e1427891583977-600x488A Spa pedicure is an amazing treatment, and possibly our most relaxing one.

Our technician will work on your toenails all the way up to your knees.

Not only a well deserved pampering, this treatment is also essential for getting your toes and heels looking good and healthy.

It includes a massage to relieve exhausted feet and is a divine way for some rest and relaxation after standing on your feet all day.

If you suffer from calluses having regular pedicures also prevents callus build-up.

You can choose shaving of your heel or the use of our new callus remover lotion.

While the lotion is certainly more gentle and guaranteed smooth and silky heels, shaving is a more invasive technique that must be used with care and professionally.

Our Pedi Spa will soothe your neglected feet while your ankles and toes are massaged by therapeutically positioned water jets.

Enjoy the experience of being pampered!

Acrylic Nails

acrylicnails_256479646-600x461Acrylic nails are the most common artificial nail extension used on the planet as they are quite durable and they adhere to natural nails like they were your own.

Building acrylic nails has became an art – especially if combined with all the forms of nail art available.

At ProfessioNAIL we are masters of the trade, with almost half a century experience.

The designs available at ProfessioNAIL make the nails look astonishing and personal, giving a glamorous touch to your hands.

You might think that acrylic nail enhancements are a new emerging trend of the last two decades, however, nail extensions have been available for centuries.

For example, Egyptians were the first to introduce artificial nail extensions.In their culture long nails were considered a symbol of wealth as well as a matter of exquisite fashion.

Ancient Egypt is notoriously known to be the pioneer in many aspects of the cosmetic industry.

In these modern times, acrylic nails are requested for many different reasons besides the mere fashion factor.

People who have brittle and weak nails may require the application of acrylic nails as they are made of resilient material and will help the natural nails not to snap.

Those who are in the habit of biting their nails may also want acrylic nail extensions because they are hard to chew off.

Acrylic nails are also the best solution, more so than gel nail extensions for those who want long nails and are can’t grow their natural ones.

But more than any other consideration acrylics nails are a matter of fashion.

They can be combined with glitter, nail art, 3D nail art and much more, giving a client an unique and personalized effect.

Long nails are absolutely alluring.

They are an ideal element for a wedding, party, or special occasion.

These days many women wear nail extensions on a regular basis as part of their fashion routine – and, of course, many trust ProfessioNAIL!

Gel Nails

gelnails_224960116-e1427890557348-600x481Gel nails are a type of artificial nails that most closely resembles the natural nail.

The term originally referred to nail extensions made using a hard gel product hardened by curing under an ultraviolet or L.E.D. (light emitting diode) light.

However, recent use of the phrase includes many nail services involving the use of gel products, including the very popular gel polish manicure.

Gel nails are very similar to standard acrylic nails.

You can paint, wear french tips and airbrush designs on both types of artificial nails.

They can both be worn long or short without any considerable difference between the two.

Both types of artificial nails can also be filed into square, round or pearl shapes

However, there are advantages to choosing gel fingernails over acrylic.

The biggest advantage gel nails have is that they look identical to natural nails. They are thin and flexible, with a glossy appearance.

The mixture used to make the resin is also completely odourless and because of the thin layer of acrylic when applying the nails, they don’t have to be filled as often.

Come into your nearest ProfessioNAIL store to see just how wonderful they look!
