Paraffin, callus work and a proper massage. These are usually added to a manicure or a pedicure, and they are also bookable alone if that is all you want.
The length in the second column is what the booking calendar reserves. The last column is when this service typically wants seeing again, which is a fact about the service and not a sales tactic.
| Service | Length | Price | Come back in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paraffin hand treatment | 20 minutes | $24 | — |
| Callus treatment chair | 20 minutes | $26 | five to six weeks |
| Hand exfoliation and massage | 15 minutes | $20 | — |
A pedicure needs a chair as well as a person. There are three pedicure chairs and six technicians. A pedicure needs a chair as well as a person, so it can be unavailable at a time when a manicure is not.
$24 · 20 minutes
Warm wax over the hands and wrists, wrapped, then lifted off. It is heat and occlusion rather than anything clever, and in a Queens January it is the most-booked twenty minutes in the shop.
$26 · 20 minutes · back in five to six weeks
Softened, reduced with a file and finished smooth. Reduced, not removed: callus is there because of how you walk and taking all of it off means it comes back harder.
$20 · 15 minutes
A scrub to the elbow, a hot towel and a fifteen-minute massage of the hand, wrist and forearm. Bookable alone, and the thing most people add when they have twenty minutes spare.
Paraffin is heat and occlusion. A scrub is a scrub. A massage is fifteen minutes of somebody paying attention to your forearm. None of it is complicated and none of it is claimed to be anything other than what it is — and in a Queens January the paraffin is the most-booked twenty minutes in the shop.
Most people add one to a manicure or a pedicure, and the calendar adds its minutes to the appointment. All three are also bookable on their own if that is genuinely all you want, which is a normal thing to want on a Tuesday.
It is softening, reducing by hand with a file and finishing smooth. It is not removal, because callus is a response to how you walk and taking all of it off means it returns harder. Nobody here uses a blade on a foot.
Marisol Vega, Thu-Ha Nguyen, Rina Ocampo, Danna Ruiz, Emil Duran and Yelena Boyko. You can ask for a person by name when you book, and the calendar will only offer you times that person is actually working — including their lunch, which is not a slot.
Files and buffers are single use. Files, buffers and wooden sticks are single use and binned in front of you. Steel is washed and steam sterilised, and every pedicure gets a fresh liner.
There are nails we will not work on. There are nails we will not work on, and there is a page that lists them. Being told no at the beginning of an appointment is better than being told nothing and finding out in a fortnight.
Six tables · three pedicure chairs · a published price for everything
Pick the service and any add-ons and the calendar adds up the minutes before it looks for a slot, so the times you are offered are times that actually fit what you asked for. A pedicure also needs one of the three chairs, and if none is free at four o'clock on a Saturday it will say so rather than book you in and hope.
