Manicure              $17

I soak the clients' hands in herbal salts. I use a copper manicure bowl. Copper is known for its sterilizing qualities, among other healing benefits. I shape the cuticles and nails. Hands are exfoliated and massaged. Polish is applied if the client wishes. I rub cuticle oil on clients' fingers once the nails are dry.

• All utensils used for manicures are sterilized with steam to ensure your safety. Steam used in sterilization is hot enough that when it comes into contact with a colder object and condenses, it transfers enough heat energy to kill all the bacteria on the load. Steam is an effective agent for sterilization.
