Comprehensive nail care tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.

Nail care for every occasion

At Valento, we provide a full range of nail services designed for clients with varied needs and schedules. Whether you are a professional maintaining a polished appearance for daily meetings, or preparing for a significant celebration such as a wedding or graduation, our team works to accommodate your requirements.

Our specialists are trained in both classic hand techniques and machine methods, allowing us to address different nail conditions and client preferences. We welcome women seeking detailed nail art as well as men who prefer a clean, understated manicure.

Each service is performed with attention to hygiene protocols and individual nail health. We assess the condition of your nails before recommending treatments, ensuring that the approach suits your natural nail structure and long-term care goals.

What we offer

A complete selection of nail treatments performed by trained specialists.

✦

Classic and machine manicure

Our manicure services include both traditional hand-filing techniques and machine-assisted methods. Classic manicure involves cuticle care, nail shaping, and hand massage, suitable for those who prefer a gentler approach. Machine manicure uses specialized equipment for more precise cuticle work and is often preferred by clients with thicker cuticles or those seeking longer-lasting results. Both options conclude with polish application or a natural buffed finish.

✦

Pedicure

Our pedicure service addresses foot and toenail care comprehensively. The treatment includes a foot soak, callus removal, cuticle maintenance, nail trimming and shaping, and a lower leg massage. We accommodate clients who spend long hours on their feet as well as those preparing for sandal season or special events. The service concludes with polish application or a natural finish based on your preference.

✦

Gel nail extensions

Gel extensions provide added length and shape for clients whose natural nails are short or prone to breakage. Our technicians apply gel over forms or tips to create the desired length and silhouette, whether you prefer a natural oval, squared edge, or almond shape. Extensions require maintenance appointments every few weeks to address regrowth. This service is suitable for clients seeking a more dramatic nail appearance for everyday wear or special occasions.

✦

Gel polish application

Gel polish offers a durable, chip-resistant finish that typically lasts two to three weeks without losing shine. The application involves a base coat, color layers, and top coat, each cured under LED or UV light. This service is well-suited for busy professionals and travelers who need their manicure to withstand daily activities. We carry a selection of colors ranging from neutral tones to bolder shades.

✦

Nail art

Our nail art services allow clients to personalize their manicure with decorative elements. Options include hand-painted designs, stamping patterns, foil accents, rhinestones, and gradient effects. Nail art can be applied to all nails or selected accent nails depending on your preference. This service is particularly popular among clients preparing for celebrations, themed events, or those who simply enjoy expressive nail aesthetics.

✦

Natural nail strengthening

For clients with brittle, peeling, or weak nails, we offer strengthening treatments that support natural nail recovery. These treatments involve the application of fortifying products that add a protective layer while allowing the nail to breathe and grow. The service is appropriate for clients who prefer to maintain their natural nails without extensions or heavy polish, as well as those recovering from gel or acrylic removal.

✦

Polish removal

We provide careful removal of gel polish, regular polish, and extension materials. Gel and extension removal requires a soaking process and gentle filing to protect the natural nail underneath. Our technicians assess nail condition after removal and can recommend follow-up treatments if needed. This service is often scheduled as a standalone appointment or combined with a new manicure application.

How we work

A straightforward approach from consultation to completed service.

Booking your appointment

Contact us by phone or email to schedule a time that fits your calendar. We will ask about the services you are interested in so we can allocate appropriate time. Walk-ins may be accommodated based on availability.

Consultation and assessment

When you arrive, your technician will examine your nails and discuss your goals. We consider factors such as nail condition, lifestyle, and any upcoming events. This helps us recommend suitable treatments and finishes.

Service preparation

Before beginning, we sanitize all tools and prepare your station. For manicures and pedicures, this includes setting up soaking bowls and selecting products based on your skin and nail type. Hygiene standards are maintained throughout.

Treatment application

Your technician performs the selected service, whether that involves shaping, cuticle care, polish application, or extension work. We work at a measured pace to ensure precision. You are welcome to ask questions or request adjustments during the process.

Aftercare guidance

Once the service is complete, we provide recommendations for maintaining your nails at home. This may include advice on moisturizing, protecting polish, or scheduling your next appointment. We aim to help you extend the life of your treatment between visits.

Common questions about our services

How long does a gel manicure typically last?

Gel polish generally maintains its appearance for two to three weeks, depending on your daily activities and nail growth rate. We recommend scheduling a maintenance or removal appointment within that timeframe to keep your nails healthy.

Do you offer services for men?

Yes, we welcome male clients who prefer a neat, classic manicure. The service includes nail trimming, shaping, cuticle care, and a natural buffed finish. No polish is required unless requested.

What is the difference between classic and machine manicure?

Classic manicure relies on hand tools and is gentler on the cuticles. Machine manicure uses a rotating file for more thorough cuticle work and is often chosen by clients with thicker cuticle growth. Your technician can recommend the method suited to your nails.

How should I prepare for a pedicure appointment?

No special preparation is needed. Arrive with clean feet and allow extra time if you are also booking a manicure. If you have specific concerns such as calluses or ingrown nails, mention them when booking so we can allocate sufficient time.

Can nail extensions damage my natural nails?

When applied and removed correctly, extensions should not cause significant damage. Proper removal involves soaking and gentle filing rather than peeling. We assess your natural nails before and after extension wear and can recommend strengthening treatments if needed.
