The first time
Nothing on the day should be a surprise.
A first visit starts with a nail consultation at the desk, a price agreed before any work, and your hands back to you as soon as the finish has cured. This is how the visit runs, step by step.
- Arrive in a time band
- Quoted at the desk
- Classic manicure $38
Three steps
The visit itself
-
Arrive inside the band
An appointment is a window to arrive in, not a fixed minute: morning 10:00 to 12:00, midday 12:00 to 15:00, late afternoon 15:00 to 19:00. Arriving anywhere inside the band is on time.
-
A nail consultation, with you there
The technician looks at each nail, agrees the shape and length, names the price and says what will not be tried. Any removal or repair is quoted now, never afterwards.
-
Done when the finish has cured
Most treatments take forty minutes to two hours, and you are told which end to expect before you sit down. You pay at the desk, at the figure agreed at the start.
The room
Two nail desks, and a separate room for brows
No client sits in a row of chairs watching the others. Brows and lashes have their own room, door shut and music low, which is why those treatments are booked by appointment only.
Every desk is set up the same way, with autoclaved tools, fresh files, oils and a lamp, so no client waits mid-treatment while a tool is found.
Bring with you
- Nails as they are, even if they are bitten or still wearing old gel.
- A phone number that will be answered if the studio needs to reach you.
- Notes on allergies, sensitive skin, arthritis or a sore spot.
No small print
Four things said plainly
-
The natural nail is not drilled
An e-file never touches your own nail plate here, because over-filing leaves it thin and sore. Rosewater Nail & Brow soaks off instead and will turn down a drill.
-
A patch test comes first
Every first tint has a free patch test 48 hours before. If your skin reacts, the treatment is not booked, and nothing is charged.
-
Removal is a quote, not a surprise
$25 for another salon's acrylic or dip, agreed at check-in. Decline it and the set is left alone or filed short, with no charge for it.
-
No cure is promised
A manicure cares for the nails; it is not a treatment. Rosewater Nail & Brow gives no medical advice and makes no medical claims.
Short on purpose
First-timers and nervous clients
A Classic Manicure is 40 to 45 minutes of a warm soak, gentle cuticle care, shaping and a hand massage, with a regular polish or a bare buff. Nothing has to be perfect. The aim is an easier second visit, and Hana takes most of them.
Older clients, and anyone who finds sitting still hard, book a Classic or Spa Pedicure at $38 to $83: the same treatment, given slowly, with rests.
Classic Manicure
Any nails, any condition. Booked in the morning window, when the studio is quietest, and paused whenever you need it.
Afterwards
Aftercare, and coming back
Aftercare
You are shown how to oil your cuticles before you leave. Payment is taken then, at the figure agreed at check-in plus any removal you accepted.
Coming back
Most gel sets keep their shine for two to three weeks, and builder or extension sets do best refilled at three to four. The technician suggests an interval for you; nothing is booked automatically.
