Soothing treatments now come with a comforting guarantee at Lavande Nail Spa.

Shiny, chip free manicures and pedicures are a specialty

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 7, 2004 -- Lavande Nail Spa has penned a promise certain to put a spring in the perfectly pedicured step of many San Francisco beauty aficionados.

A new No-Chip Guarantee insures that any manicure will be chip free for at least three days or they will fix any flaws or re-polish for free. Lavande Nail Spa goes even one better with their pedicure packages, guaranteeing two feet full of beautifully painted toes for at least seven days.

Our pedicures usually last quite a while longer than seven days because we take care to meticulously dry and remove all oils from the nails before we apply a base coat, color, and top coats," says Lavande Nail Spa founder Jennifer Leung. But we want our customers to feel extra confident about our services -- especially those whove never tried us before -- so weve put our guarantee in writing."

Lavande Nail Spa takes a number of steps to ensure a long lasting, flawless shine.

Its important to make sure the base coat is dry when the color coats are applied," advises Leung. Otherwise the individual polish coats wont bond properly and the color can peel away easily from the nail."

Leung also advises the following for long lasting polish:

1. Re-apply top coat every 2 to 3 days so that color stay fresh and glossy;

2. Use a basecoat that contains aloe vera for nails that are dry and brittle to replenish moisture to avoid peeling of the nails;

3. Use a nail strengthener that contains Vitamin E and calcium to help promote healthy nails. Apply nail strengthener the day after your manicure.

4. When applying base coat, color, and top coat, let each coat dry first before applying the next coat. Basecoat needs to be dry before applying color, otherwise it will chip;

5. Swipe the tip of the nail polish brush across the tip and underside of the nail to seal each coat;

5. Healthy nails and cuticles hold polish much longer. If cuticles are dry and peeling, mix one tablespoon wheat germ or jojoba oil with one tablespoon honey. Massage onto the cuticle in a circular motion;

Jennifer Leung founded Lavande Nail Spa in 2004 on the principle that everyone deserves to be pampered without breaking the bank. After receiving her Manicurist License, Jennifer conceived of the idea to create a Day Spa that was mid point between a bare bones discount nail shop, and an excessively priced salon. She conceived of a spa-like environment that was clean and decorated with comfortable furniture and relaxing colors, coupled with innovative services and affordable prices. By turning her dream into a reality she believes she has significantly improved the lives of her clients. Jennifer Leung has a bachelor degree in business management and a manicurist license from the California State Bureau of Barbering and Cosmetology.

The name Lavande means lavender in French -- lavender and lavender oils are considered to be the ultimate herb for relaxation and spiritual balance.
