If you have weak or brittle nails, consider a regular or shellac manicure as they are less damaging. If longevity is a priority, opt for a gel or dip powder manicure. If you want to add length or dramatically change your nail shape, acrylics could be your best bet.

A manicure involves trimming, shaping, and buffing fingernails; a pedicure typically involves exfoliating the skin on your feet before soaking them in warm water. Both treatments usually include cuticle care, nail painting or buffing, and hand massage.

A professional nail care service (also known as mani pedi services) can help you to maintain healthy nails by removing any dead skin cells or debris, clipping and shaping your nails, and applying a coat of polish or nail hardener.
