The menu is broad. Manicures range from a regular service to an ultimate version that adds a sea salt soak, a paraffin treatment and an extra 10-minute massage. Pedicures start with a classic service that includes soaking, shaping, cuticle care and a warm towel wrap, then move up through deluxe and signature versions with callus removal and sea salt scrubs, to a royal spa version that adds warm paraffin wax.

Nail enhancements include acrylic with gel, dipping powder, hard gel, Gel X, pink and white, and ombre, offered as refills or full sets with pricing that starts at a stated amount. Smaller services cover French tips, nail design, nail repair, gel and acrylic removal, shiny buffing and polish changes. Waxing covers the face, arms, body, bikini and legs, and kids ages 9 and under can book manicures and pedicures.
