A classic manicure is care for the natural nail: filing to shape, softening and tidying the cuticles, buffing, a hand massage with cream, and a finish of regular polish, gel or simply a clear strengthening coat. It is the base on which every other nail treatment is built, and the one to book if your nails are recovering from extensions or you want them to look neat without product on top.
Salons offer variations: a luxury manicure adds an exfoliating scrub, a mask and a longer hand massage; a Russian or dry manicure uses an e-file to clean the cuticle area very precisely; and a men's manicure is usually a tidy, buff and matt finish. Most nail bars list a file and polish as a quick option too.
A standard manicure takes 30 to 45 minutes and a luxury one up to an hour. With regular polish, avoid putting your hands in water for an hour or two afterwards; with gel the nails are dry when you leave.

The New Town holds most of it, around George Street, Thistle Street and Stockbridge, with advanced facials, laser courses and brow specialists. Stockbridge itself is quieter and almost entirely daytime, with boutique salons and nail studios serving a loyal local clientele. Leith has grown with the waterfront regeneration and offers the widest spread of prices and treatments, including younger nail and lash studios and well-priced threading.
