More information

What's Included

A tailored service focused on healthy, well-groomed natural nails.

  • Consultation and nail assessment to map concerns and goals.
  • Dry prep and hygienic cleanse to protect nail structure.
  • Precision cuticle refinement and sidewall tidy to reduce overgrowth and hangnails.
  • Nail shaping and surface smoothing for symmetry and comfort.
  • Targeted therapy – hydrating, strengthening or ridge-care as needed.
  • Nourishing skin treatment to support softness and barrier health.
  • Finish options – natural buff, clear strengthener or classic polish.

Who It's For

Ideal if you want immaculate, natural-looking nails with improved comfort and durability. Suits nails that peel, split, feel thin, show ridges or have dry, rough skin around the nail area. A smart reset if you are taking a break from enhancements and want to rebuild strength.

If you have active infection, open skin or severe pain, please seek medical advice before booking.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Your first visit includes a thorough assessment and tidy, so it may take longer than routine maintenance. If you currently wear enhancements, schedule any removals before your appointment so your natural nails can be fully assessed.

Results are immediate, though strengthening and smoothing continue to improve with consistent care across subsequent visits.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Apply cuticle oil daily and use a rich hand cream, ideally with SPF for daytime. Wear gloves for household cleaning and gardening to protect nails and skin. Avoid picking, biting or using nails as tools.

If you choose classic polish, keep nails dry for a couple of hours after your appointment. Maintain results with regular appointments every 2 to 4 weeks, adjusted to your growth and lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Medicure?
A Medicure is a health-focused manicure for natural nails. It uses dry prep, precise cuticle care and targeted strengthening to improve resilience and deliver a clean, refined finish.
What makes a Medicure different from a standard manicure?
It prioritises nail condition and longevity. Water exposure is minimised, cuticles are refined with care, and a treatment step addresses dryness, ridges or peeling for longer-lasting results.
Is it suitable if my nails are weak, peeling or ridged?
Yes. The service targets the causes of fragility, supports hydration and reinforces the nail, helping reduce splitting and snagging with consistent aftercare.
I usually wear gels or acrylics. Can I book?
Yes. Please arrange removal in advance so your natural nails can be assessed and treated properly during the appointment.
Can I have colour with this service?
If suitable, you can choose a natural buff, a clear strengthening base or a classic polish. Your finish will be tailored to your nail condition and preferred look.
