Your First Mani Pedi: What You Should Expect

Many people reserve manicures and pedicures for major events like a wedding or vacation. However, any time that you want to relax and treat yourself is the perfect time for a mani pedi. If this is your first time experiencing professional nail services, it is important to know what you should expect from your experience and what options are available to you at your local salon or spa. Below, we discuss what to expect before and during your mani pedi.

Before Your Appointment

First off, you want to find the perfect location for your first mani pedi services. You should look for a facility that has a talented team of nail specialists that will offer you a relaxing and comfortable experience. While you may be tempted to just visit the closest nail salon, finding a luxurious spa that offers a full body menu will help you feel extra pampered while you get the individual attention that you deserve. This is the best way to ensure that your first mani pedi experience is a positive one.

After you have found the ideal location, you will want to book an appointment in advance. There are a variety of mani pedi services ranging from a quick shaping and polishing to a more complex skin conditioning and muscle massage. Prices and duration of appointment will vary depending on where you go and what type of mani pedi you would like. It is best to look at the salon or spa’s website ahead of time to browse the service menu and see what type of service options best meets your needs. Some spas offer online booking, but you may want to call to get more information.

During Your Appointment

After you have arrived at your appointment, make sure that you communicate with the nail specialist to tell them what you are looking for. Your mani pedi should be a relaxing and comfortable experience. The nail specialist wants you to leave happy, so it is important that you discuss what you want before she or he begins. Tell the specialist that it is your first time so that they can talk you through the treatment and ease any anxiety you may have about your first mani pedi.

The mani pedi process will vary depending on what service you have chosen. The standard quick fix manicure and pedicure may just consist of shaping and polishing, whereas nail enhancement services involve gel or acrylic application. Spa mani pedi services involve extra steps that go beyond just polish application, such as exfoliation, nail conditioning, cuticle treatment, and massage. These treatments are ideal for those who want the ultimate relaxation experience or those who have certain problem areas that they would like to attend to.

Are you ready for your first mani pedi? The talented team at Bellezza is happy to serve the Miami community by hand and foot care treatments that help maximize hydration and nail health. Contact us to book an appointment today!
