What the service includes
The Manicure includes nail shaping and cuticle care followed by a vitamin-infused moisturizing massage and an aromatherapy hot towel. Nail shaping and cuticle attention set the base for a neat tip and healthy edges; the massage and hot towel relax tissues and help moisturizer absorb. Optional Gel color nail polish is available if you prefer a longer-lasting, glossier finish.
Price and time are straightforward: this service is listed at $32 and scheduled for 30 MINUTES. If you plan to add Gel color nail polish, note the gel option or the complimentary soft-gel upgrades described below may extend the appointment time beyond the 30 MINUTES standard, so book accordingly if you need to be somewhere after your visit.
How your result is shaped
The finished look depends on the initial choices you make—shape, natural length, and color versus gel. Nail shaping and cuticle care define the silhouette and influence how long polish looks tidy. The vitamin-infused moisturizing massage improves surface hydration and helps skin and nail beds look smoother, while the aromatherapy hot towel eases dryness and gives a polished appearance before color is applied.
Choosing the optional Gel color nail polish changes the trade-offs: many clients accept a slightly longer appointment for the durability and sheen of gel. Arlington VIP Spa also offers a VIP Vegan Nail Bar Soft Gel and VIP Spa Soft Gel that are complimentary with a manicure and each last about 45 minutes, so plan timing around that option if you want gel.
Preparing for your appointment
When you arrive, be ready to discuss your preferred nail shape and color so the technician can follow your priorities within the 30 MINUTES service window. The technician will perform cuticle care and shaping first, then the massage and aromatherapy hot towel before polish. If you want Gel color nail polish, mention that when booking so the schedule can accommodate the longer gel process.
Arlington clients—especially commuters using I-66, Langston Boulevard, or nearby Metro stations—often book before or after work or on weekends. We serve Falls Church, Washington, McLean, Alexandria, Tysons and Vienna; May, June, and December are busiest months because of graduations and holiday events, so reserve earlier during those periods to secure evening or weekend slots.
