I think the standard manicure include, removing of cuticle, scrubing, trimming, shaping and painting of yr nails. does not include treatment, u probably have to pay more for that. and also dun think they can do much on the staining nails thingy, u probably have to buy some treatment, or maybe pay for a better basecoat to prevent that.Originally posted by Star Star Blue:I have never went to manicure before, does it include any washing or treatment for nails ? my nails all very ugly and looks very unhealthy (probably due to my nail polish overtime),u know,got those fine lines on nails. anyone can advise ? guess the person gona laugh at my feet if I go for manicure.

Hey all,
-Name of Nail Salon - i can't remember
-Location - orchard plaza. next to the foot massage
-Pricing (indicate is it for Basic, Full, Spa..........) 35 for pedi (normal) 30 for students.
-Skill of manicurist 5 (very good foot massage)
The girls are philipinos. and they got quite a long of strength when they press the foot for you. Scrubs are good too!
-Brands/Range of Nail Polish available - no idea man. But wide range. See a lot of working class tai tai going there. Cos the girls are really good and friendly.
-Satisfaction level (pls use to indicate, out of 5) 4 (cos i went to serenity cove at holland v and the girls there serve me tea)
-Durability of Nail Polish - (more than 1 mth)
But i went to invest in a set of nail polish and base coat. LAst me well man. Sally hansen (watson hsa 20%) now. You jus apply then let it 'air' for min 10 mins den it looks like salon done.
