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.
Read the full guide to manicure — what it involves, who it suits and what it costs. Also known as classic manicure, Russian manicure and file and polish.
Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea hold the advanced skin clinics and the flagship brow and lash studios, where consultations come first, treatments are sold as courses and prices run well above the rest of the city. Soho and Shoreditch are the home of the nail art studios and the late-opening lash bars, busy after work and booked solid on Friday evenings. Kensington and Paddington mix long-established neighbourhood salons with threading bars and laser clinics, and Canary Wharf is a weekday market built around lunchtime appointments: express facials, gel manicures and brow shapes squeezed into an hour.
