Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a classic manicure and a gel manicure?
A Classic Manicure uses traditional air-dry nail polish or a high-shine buff, making it easy to remove at home with regular polish remover. A Gel Manicure uses light-cured gel polish that cures instantly under an LED lamp and offers chip-free durability for 2–3 weeks.
How long does a classic manicure take?
A classic manicure at Galeo Beauty typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes, making it an ideal express self-care treatment.
How long does regular nail polish last after a manicure?
Regular lacquer polish typically stays chip-free for 5 to 7 days, depending on your daily hand activities, water exposure, and hand care.
Can men get a classic manicure?
Yes, absolutely! Manicures are a fantastic grooming treatment for everyone. Men can opt for a natural shine buff or matte clear coat instead of colored polish.
How often should I get a manicure?
We recommend getting a manicure every 2 to 3 weeks to maintain clean cuticle borders, proper nail length, and soft, hydrated hand skin.
