Four manicures, and how to pick the right one
A Basic Manicure at $30 is 25 minutes: shaping, cuticle work, a hand massage and the polish of your choice. It is what most guests book on a lunch break or before a shoreline dinner. Step up to the Deluxe Manicure at $35 and you add hot stones through the hands and forearms, which is the part people come back for once they have felt it.
The Spa Manicure at $45 is the full hour — hot stones plus a paraffin dip that leaves hands genuinely soft rather than just polished, and it is the one to book in a Connecticut winter when hands are cracked from cold and hand sanitiser. If you need the colour to survive a vacation or a wedding week, book the Shellac Gel Manicure at $45 instead; it cures hard and stays chip-free for around two weeks.
Nails in Branford without the salon noise
Our nail room is a treatment room, not a row of stations by a front window. It is quiet, candlelit and private, which is why we see so many guests drive over from Guilford, Madison, East Haven and North Branford rather than use the strip-mall salon nearer to them. Licensed technicians, hospital-grade tool sterilisation, and no rushing you out the door.
Most people pair nails with something else and make an afternoon of it. A manicure with a Spa Pedicure at $65 is the classic combination; add an Ionic Foot Detox Bath at $35 or a 30-minute massage and our booking system schedules everything back to back in the right rooms automatically. Free parking is right at the door on East Main Street.
