Who the Deluxe Manicure is for
This treatment suits anyone who wants more than a quick tidy-up — a complete, indulgent session that cares for the nails, cuticles and skin of the hands in equal measure.

- Anyone whose hands feel dry, tired or in need of conditioning
- Clients preparing for a special occasion, holiday or event
- People who work with their hands and want regular, restorative care
- First-time visitors who want to experience our signature attention to detail
- Anyone looking for a relaxing hour of pure self-care in Whetstone
Why choose our Deluxe Manicure
At By Shiva, we believe your hands deserve as much care and attention as your face. The Deluxe Manicure goes beyond a standard shape-and-polish, weaving in nourishing extras that condition the skin, soften the cuticles and leave your nails looking immaculate. It is a treatment as much about wellbeing as it is about appearance.
Every step is carried out by hand with premium nail care products and the kind of unhurried precision that defines our clinic. We take the time to listen to what you want — the shape, the finish, the colour — and tailor the session around you, so you leave with a result that feels personal rather than rushed.
It is the perfect way to treat yourself or to keep your hands looking their best between busy weeks, all within the calm, welcoming surroundings of our Whetstone clinic.
How the treatment works
Your therapist begins by assessing the condition of your nails and skin, then carefully shapes, files and tidies each nail before conditioning the cuticles. A gentle exfoliation and nourishing hand treatment follow, working warmth and moisture into the skin to leave it soft and supple.
To finish, your nails are buffed and painted in the colour of your choice, or left beautifully natural with a clear coat. Premium products are used throughout to ensure a long-lasting, salon-quality result that looks and feels luxurious.
Your appointment, step by step
Here is what to expect from the moment you sit down to the final polished finish.
- We welcome you, settle you comfortably and chat through the shape, length and colour you have in mind.
- Your nails are filed and shaped, and any existing polish is gently removed.
- Cuticles are softened, conditioned and neatly tidied to create a clean, refined base.
- Your hands and lower arms are exfoliated and treated to a nourishing, conditioning massage.
- Nails are buffed to a smooth finish, ready for colour.
- We apply your chosen polish — or a natural clear coat — and allow it to set before you leave.
What it feels like in the room
The Deluxe Manicure is a genuinely relaxing experience. You will be seated comfortably while your therapist works calmly and attentively, with no rush. The exfoliation feels refreshing and the hand massage is soothing and warming, easing tension from the fingers, palms and wrists.
Most clients find this the most restful part of their day — a quiet hour to switch off, unwind and enjoy a little well-earned pampering while your hands are transformed.
Results you can expect
You will see and feel the difference straight away, with benefits that linger well beyond your visit.
- Immediately: neatly shaped, beautifully polished nails and noticeably softer, smoother hands.
- Over the following days: cuticles look tidier and skin feels more conditioned and nourished.
- With your chosen polish: a fresh, long-lasting finish that holds up through everyday life.
- With regular visits: healthier-looking nails and hands that stay well cared for over time.
Caring for your hands afterwards
A few simple habits will help keep your nails and polish looking their best for as long as possible.
- Allow your polish a little extra time to fully harden before tackling anything fiddly.
- Apply hand cream regularly to keep the skin soft and conditioned.
- Wear gloves for washing up, cleaning or gardening to protect your finish.
- Reach for a cuticle oil now and then to keep nails and cuticles nourished.
- Avoid using your nails as tools to prevent chips and breaks.
- Book your next appointment to maintain consistently well-groomed hands.
Safety and suitability
The Deluxe Manicure is gentle, non-invasive and suitable for everyone, with no patch test required. Please let your therapist know in advance if you have any allergies, sensitive skin, or any cuts, infections or nail conditions on the hands, so we can adapt the treatment or advise accordingly.
If you have a broken skin area, an active nail or skin infection, or any concern about the health of your nails, we may recommend postponing until it has settled or seeking advice from your GP first. Your comfort and wellbeing always come before anything else.
