TECHNIQUE
E-file manicure, our signature service.
We use different a range of specialized E-file bits to gently push back and exfoliate dead skin, resulting in a cleaner and more refined appearance. The application of builder gel concentrates on the nail's center (apex) to enhance both its strength during growth and its aesthetic, creating a graceful, arched contour. This manicure is tailored to reinforce your natural nails with a protective layer of rubber-based gel, protecting them from potential breakage.
This technique requires time, patience, and precision in order to craft a natural-looking layer that mimics the natural arch and shape of your nails. Our appointments typically span from 1 to 2 hours.
INNOVATION
Waterless pedicure - why is it better?
Our waterless, soapless, and dry procedure is specifically designed to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination. Dry manicures and pedicures are widely acknowledged as a safer and more sanitary option, as soaking in water can potentially heighten the risk of infections. This approach not only prioritizes hygiene but also promotes better overall nail health and longevity compared to traditional water-soaked methods.
For dry skin and calluses, our dry pedicure truly excels. We employ professional, medical-grade equipment to expertly buff away dead skin, especially on the heels. This meticulous removal process ensures smoother, healthier skin without the need for soaking.
Furthermore, opting for a waterless approach can significantly enhance the longevity of your polish. Soaking in water causes the nails to temporarily expand, and once they return to their normal size, it can lead to the development of cracks in your polish. By avoiding this expansion-contraction cycle, your manicure or pedicure will maintain its pristine appearance for an extended period.
HYGIENE
Sterilization and sanitation, at the highest level.
At Paint Bar, we prioritize your health and well-being above all else. We maintain strict sanitation protocols at all times. All metal tools undergo thorough sanitization with barbicide and are then sterilized in a hospital-grade autoclave. These sterilized implements are securely sealed in a sterile pouch until their next use. Autoclaves, known for their potency, are commonly employed in dental and medical environments. Their purpose is to eliminate all forms of life on an object's surface, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and spores.
While the state of California mandates immersion disinfection which can be unreliable, and ineffective (read more here). We take an additional step to guarantee the utmost level of sanitation.
