How Often Should You Get a Manicure?

Learn how often you should get a manicure based on your nail growth, polish type, lifestyle, and nail care goals.

A fresh manicure can make your hands look clean, polished, and well cared for. But how often should you actually get one?

For most guests, a manicure every two to three weeks is a good routine. This depends on your nail growth, the type of polish you choose, and how much wear your nails go through each day.

Regular polish manicures

If you choose regular polish, you may want to refresh your manicure every one to two weeks. Regular polish can chip sooner, especially if you use your hands often for work, cleaning, or daily tasks.

Gel manicures

Gel polish usually lasts longer than regular polish. Many guests schedule gel manicures every two to three weeks to keep their nails looking fresh while avoiding too much growth at the cuticle area.

Natural nail care

Even if you do not wear polish, regular manicures help keep your nails shaped, cuticles clean, and hands looking neat.

If you are not sure what schedule is best for you, our team can help you choose the right manicure routine during your visit.
