What is different about a pedicure at The Spa Magnolia? Our philosophy is to merge luxury with organic health and beauty, our pedicures are delivered in our private treatment rooms so you can enjoy your treatment as a spa experience. As a result, we do not remove or apply gel/shellac polish to maintain a safer environment for both customers and staff. Our pedicures are provided by licensed estheticians, and we use top-of-the-line sterilization methods for all implements. Onetime use buffers and files are yours to keep following your treatment.
FAQs
Gel Polish Removal
It has become a challenge for us to remove some of the newer and often unregulated products used in the nail bar market that are very difficult to soak off. Our spa is not equipped with dremels (a sanding like device that mechanically buffs off the gel) as our approach is more holistic and exposing my staff to pure acetone more than needed is not what I want for them. Some of our guests are not even aware they have gel polish on and that it is not easily removed. Here are some tips for you!
A: When you had the polish applied the polish would have to be cured under a UV or LED light rather than drying naturally and is instantly dry to the touch.
Soak off kits are available at most drugstores now or you may go back to where you had it applied as they will be familiar with the products they are using.
Our spa takes a holistic and health-conscious approach. We avoid using harsh chemicals like pure acetone and mechanical tools that could affect both your nail health and our staff’s wellness. Instead, we focus on gentle, rejuvenating treatments that restore and care for your feet.
- The Spa Magnolia uses traditional polish for our pedicures and we are happy to remove regular polish prior to a treatment as it is not time consuming. Our approach is to spend the treatment time taking the very best care for your hands and feet!
