Classic Manicure in Orland, CA
A clean, beautifully shaped set of natural nails — finished with the polish color of your choice. Our classic manicure is the perfect reset for your hands, done one guest at a time in a private studio in Orland, California.
About our classic manicure
The classic manicure is the foundation of good nail care. We start by soaking and softening your hands, then file and shape each nail to the length and silhouette you want — square, squoval, round, or almond. Cuticles are gently pushed back and trimmed so the nail bed looks longer and the polish sits flush against the skin instead of lifting at the edges.
From there you get a relaxing hand massage with lotion before your color goes on. Because Apitha is an appointment-only studio, you are never rushed through and never sharing a technician — the full 45 minutes belongs to you. It is the most requested service for guests who want tidy, natural-looking nails for work, a weekend event, or simply a well-earned hour to themselves.
What's included
- Nail trimming, filing and shaping to your preferred silhouette
- Gentle cuticle softening, pushing back and trimming
- Light buffing to smooth ridges on the nail surface
- Relaxing hand and lower-arm massage with moisturizing lotion
- Regular polish in the color of your choice, with top coat
Aftercare & how to make it last
- Allow 15–20 minutes before putting hands in a bag or pocket — regular polish stays soft longer than gel.
- Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning; detergents are the fastest way to chip polish.
- Apply cuticle oil nightly to keep the nail bed from drying and lifting.
- Expect 5–7 days of wear from regular polish. Ask about our gel manicure if you want two to three weeks.
