Published service specifications with honest session timings and transparent pricing without hidden salon fees.
Every service in our Edwards studio is performed with single-use files and hospital-grade autoclave instruments. Our quotes depend on five plain criteria: service type, add-ons and design, removal, massage duration, and acrylic complexity. Below is the full breakdown of each individual protocol.
Appointment Desk
Shape.
Regular Manicure
Careful natural nail maintenance with hand tools, cuticle nourishment, and classic protective lacquer. We shape each free edge with a fine emery board to match your natural nail bed curvature, soften the proximal fold with warm botanical solution, gently push and tidy non-living tissue, and finish with a light hand lotion massage.
Warm.
Hot Paraffin Manicure
Infuses deep moisture into weather-worn hands using warm cosmetic-grade paraffin wax wraps. Following a complete regular manicure foundation, hands are slowly submerged into a warm peach-mineral paraffin bath. The warm wax solidifies into an occlusive barrier that softens chapped skin and soothes stiff joints before being gently slipped off.
Set.
Gel Manicure
Durable, high-shine chip-resistant color set instantly under cool LED lighting. We perform thorough dry prep so water does not swell the nail plate prior to bonding. Base coat, two coats of high-pigment formula, and mirror top coat harden in 30-second LED cycles. Leaves your hands ready for gloves immediately.
Fortify.
Dipping with Removal
Gentle foil soak-off removal followed by organic vitamin-fortified powder dip strengthening the nail bed. Unlike salons that charge hidden fees for taking off previous dipping, our 60 USD service includes safe acetone foil wraps without plate scraping. Layers of resin and fine mineral powder provide natural armor.
Sculpt.
Full Acrylic Set
Custom-contoured extensions built with premium monomer and fine polymer for enduring structural balance. We shape tips to square, coffin, or almond silhouettes, building a proper stress-point apex that does not break under pressure. We never use banned MMA monomers or thin the natural plate with aggressive drill bits.
Soak.
Spa Pedicure
Restorative foot bath with Dead Sea salts, calloused heel smoothing, and an honest 6-minute timed massage. Feet soak in warm whirlpool water infused with pure sea salt crystals to soften dry alpine skin. We trim and shape toenails straight across to prevent ingrown corners, clean cuticles, buff heels with disposable grit pads, and complete a timed lower leg massage.
Exfoliate.
Deluxe Pedicure
Exfoliating raw cane sugar scrub followed by mineral-rich mud masque wrapped in warm steam towels. Enhances the foundation of our Spa Pedicure with intensive manual scrub that sloughs away dry flaking skin without scratching. A rich mineral mud masque is painted over lower legs and wrapped in steaming towels to open pores and lock in hydration.
Revitalize.
Signature Pedicure
Our complete salon protocol combines sea salt soak, sugar scrub, mud wrap, paraffin dip, and extended foot massage. Our most unhurried restorative foot treatment: sea salt whirlpool soak, 100% organic cane sugar scrub, mineral mud steam wrap, hot peach paraffin bootie immersion for cracked heels, and twelve full minutes of focused reflexology-style leg and foot massage.
Specify.
The five objective factors that determine your final appointment quote.
No quote is presented as an arbitrary guess. Every service price depends strictly on the five criteria confirmed by our operator. We do not invent mystery surcharges when you sit in the chair.
1. Service Tier
The foundational protocol you choose: regular manicure ($30), hot paraffin ($45), gel ($50), dipping ($60), acrylic ($70), spa pedicure ($45), deluxe pedicure ($60), or signature pedicure ($75).
2. Add-ons & Nail Art
Minimal accent design on two nails adds $10 USD (10 min). French tip lines or chrome glaze adds $20 USD (20 min). Multi-layer custom hand-painted art adds $35 USD (35 min).
3. Prior Set Removal
Fresh nails carry zero removal fee. Gel polish soak-off adds $10 USD (15 min). Dipping or acrylic safe soak-off adds $15 USD (25 min). Foil wraps are used to avoid nail scraping.
4. Massage Duration
Standard massage timing is included in every service (such as 6 minutes in the spa pedicure). Adding 10 minutes of targeted alpine recovery massage adds $15 USD.
5. Acrylic Complexity
Standard square short-to-medium lengths start at $70 USD. Extra-long lengths, stiletto profiles, encapsulated glitter, or 3D structural work require additional monomer and bead shaping time.
Sanitation Guarantee
Every appointment includes brand-new wooden files and buffers. Steel tools are sterilized via autoclave and opened from sealed indicator bags. We never reuse porous tools.
Sanitize.
Hospital-grade instrument protocols enforced under Colorado registration.
Operating under State of Colorado Registration № 2024-1234567, Chippen Nails Edwards Inc maintains non-negotiable hygiene standards. We invite every client to inspect our autoclave pouches and work surfaces before service begins.
All stainless steel cut-and-push instruments are cleaned in ultrasonic baths and processed in high-pressure steam autoclaves. Pouches feature internal chemical sterility indicators.
Emery boards, foam buffers, and pumice pads are dedicated to one client only and discarded immediately after use. We do not clean or reuse porous filing tools.
We strictly refuse the use of credo blades or surgical scalpels on foot calluses. We use mineral salts, raw cane sugar scrubs, and sterile abrasive pads to smooth dry skin safely.
Pedicure whirlpool basins are circulated with EPA-registered hospital disinfectant for ten full minutes between appointments, purging internal plumbing lines completely.
