When it comes to personal grooming and self-care, a good manicure and pedicure do more than make your nails look pretty—they support nail health, hygiene, and boost your overall confidence. Whether you’re preparing for an event or maintaining weekly polish, a professional mani-pedi is the key to flawless fingers and fabulous feet.

At Vida Hair & Beauty, we offer a full range of hand and foot care services, including Shellac and Nailtiques natural nail treatments. Here’s everything you need to know for your next nail appointment.


Why Professional Manicures & Pedicures Matter

DIY nail care is helpful, but nothing beats the results of a salon-grade treatment:

  • Sanitised tools and hygienic practice

  • Precision nail shaping and cuticle care

  • Relaxing massage with exfoliation and hydration

  • Longer-lasting polish application using high-quality brands
