Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a gel and acrylic manicure?
Gel manicures use a long-lasting polish cured under UV or LED lamps for a chip-resistant finish, while acrylic manicures create a protective layer using liquid and powder that can also extend the nail. Acrylics are more durable and ideal for length, whereas gel offers a natural, glossy look. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, we help you choose based on your lifestyle and nail goals.How long does a dip powder manicure last?
A dip powder manicure typically lasts two to three weeks with proper care. This method involves dipping nails into colored powder to create a durable, chip-resistant finish without UV light. It's a great middle ground between traditional polish and acrylics for clients seeking longevity without extensions.What does a full set acrylic service include?
A full set acrylic service involves applying a mix of liquid and powder over your natural nails to create a protective, durable layer that can also extend nail length. The process includes shaping, buffing, and finishing with polish or design. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, we customize the shape and style to match your preference.How often should you get an acrylic fill?
Acrylic fills are typically needed every two to three weeks as your natural nails grow out. This maintenance service fills in the gap at the cuticle area and reinforces the acrylic layer to prevent lifting or breakage. Regular fills help maintain the strength and appearance of your nails between full sets.What's included in a spa pedicure treatment?
A spa or deluxe pedicure includes soaking, nail trimming and shaping, cuticle care, exfoliation with a sugar scrub, a cooling mask, and a relaxing foot and leg massage with hot towel wrap. This treatment goes beyond the basics to hydrate skin, remove dead cells, and soothe tired muscles for ultimate relaxation.Can you get a color change without a full manicure?
Yes, a polish change service allows you to switch nail color without the full manicure process. This quick service is ideal when your nails are still in good shape but you want a fresh look. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, we offer both regular and gel color changes.What's the difference between a taper fade and skin fade?
A taper fade gradually blends hair from longer on top to shorter at the neckline, while a skin fade cuts down to the scalp for a sharper, more dramatic look. Both styles are popular at Cool Cuts Barbershop and range from $35 to $50 depending on detail and hair type.How long does a silk press last on natural hair?
A silk press typically lasts one to two weeks, depending on hair texture, humidity, and aftercare. This heat-styling service straightens natural hair without chemicals, leaving it smooth and sleek. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, we use professional techniques to minimize heat damage and maximize longevity.When should you schedule a root touch-up for hair color?
Root touch-ups are recommended every four to six weeks to cover regrowth and maintain consistent color, especially for gray coverage. This service applies single color only to the new growth area, refreshing your look without processing the entire length. Regular maintenance helps prevent a visible demarcation line.What does a root shadow do for highlighted hair?
A root shadow blends your natural root color with highlights to create a seamless, low-maintenance look. This technique softens the contrast between regrowth and lightened ends, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, it's often applied after highlights to add depth and dimension.How do tape-in hair extensions stay in place?
Tape-in extensions use thin, adhesive wefts that sandwich small sections of natural hair between two pieces. They're lightweight, blend seamlessly, and offer natural movement without heat or glue. Move-ups are needed every six to eight weeks as your hair grows to maintain placement and prevent slippage.What's the benefit of Botox for smoothing wrinkles?
Botox is a neuromodulator injectable that temporarily relaxes facial muscles, smoothing dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines. Results typically appear within a few days and last three to four months. At Glamour Beauty Salon and Spa, our aesthetic services are designed to enhance natural features with minimal downtime.
