Manicures

Spa Manicure

A deeply nourishing hand retreat that leaves skin noticeably softer.

From $38~35 minSkin benefits last several days. Polish lasts 5 to 7 days

The spa manicure at Beauty Nails Spa takes the foundation of our classic nail care and layers in treatments that go well beyond tidy nails. A sugar or salt exfoliant buffs away dry skin, a warming moisture mask soaks deep into the hands and lower arms, and an extended massage works out tension that builds up from keyboards, steering wheels and everyday life here in Champaign. The result is nails that are shaped and polished beautifully, and hands that feel genuinely renewed.

Guests who book the spa manicure regularly tell us their hands feel the difference for days afterward, especially through Illinois winters when skin gets dry and rough. It pairs naturally with our spa pedicure or deluxe pedicure if you want a full head-to-toe treatment. For clients who also want longer-lasting color, our team can discuss upgrading the polish finish to gel after the treatment is complete.

Why you will love it

  • Exfoliation removes dry, rough skin and smooths the backs of hands
  • A warming mask delivers deep hydration that lasts well beyond the appointment
  • Extended massage eases muscle tension in hands, wrists and lower arms
  • Gentle cuticle care encourages healthy nail growth
  • Noticeably softer skin from the very first visit
  • A calming, unhurried service that feels like a true break in your day

Who it is for

The spa manicure is ideal for guests who want more than tidy nails, particularly those dealing with dry or rough skin, anyone recovering from a stressful stretch at work, or clients who simply enjoy treating themselves to a more immersive experience. It is a thoughtful gift appointment and a favorite with guests who book it as a monthly self-care ritual.

What to expect

  1. 1

    Shape and buff

    Nails are filed to your preferred shape and the surface is lightly buffed to create a smooth, even canvas before any treatment begins.

  2. 2

    Warm soak

    Your hands soak in warm, softening water to relax the skin and prepare cuticles for gentle, thorough grooming.

  3. 3

    Cuticle care

    Cuticles are carefully pushed back and excess skin removed, keeping the nail bed clean and neat.

  4. 4

    Exfoliation

    A sugar or salt scrub is worked gently over the backs of hands, fingers and lower arms to remove dry skin and encourage circulation.

  5. 5

    Warming mask

    A rich moisture mask is applied and wrapped in a warm towel, allowing the treatment to absorb deeply into skin and soften even rough knuckles.

  6. 6

    Extended massage and polish

    An unhurried hand and arm massage follows the mask. The service finishes with a base coat, two coats of your chosen polish and a protective top coat.

Longevity and aftercareSkin benefits last several days. Polish lasts 5 to 7 days

Spa Manicure FAQs

How is a spa manicure different from a classic manicure?
The spa manicure adds three extra steps that a basic manicure does not include: a scrub exfoliation, a warming moisture mask and an extended massage. The nail shaping, cuticle care and polish finish are the same.
Can I get gel polish with the spa manicure?
Yes. After the spa treatments are complete, we can apply a gel polish finish instead of regular lacquer. There is an additional charge to upgrade from the base service price. Just let your technician know at the start of your visit.
Is the spa manicure good for dry or sensitive skin?
It is one of the best services we offer for dry skin. The exfoliation removes buildup without being harsh, and the moisture mask is deeply nourishing. If you have a known sensitivity to any ingredient, let us know and we will adjust the products we use.
