What manicure at Branford River Spa actually involves

Manicures are performed in the dedicated nail room with sterilised tooling and a proper hand and forearm massage — not a thirty-second rub before the polish goes on.

The hour-long spa manicure is the one regulars rebook: hot stones through the hands and forearms, a paraffin dip that leaves skin genuinely soft for days, then shaping and polish of your choice.

Booking from Plainville: what to expect

Soak, shaping, cuticle care, exfoliating scrub, massage, and your choice of regular or shellac gel polish. Paraffin and hot stones are included on the spa tier.
