At Releaf Day Spa, experienced nail technicians lavish fingers and toes with professional nail-care services. During a 75-minute gel manicure, a nail pro sculpts talons, restrains encroaching cuticles, and scrubs away lifeless cells before applying blankets of CND Shellac, a durable UV-set gel polish that can last up to two weeks on natural nails and deliver the winning edge in games of paper football. The 75-minute spa manicure supplements basic grooming and standard polish with a dip in paraffin wax to hydrate the skin, a hand-and-arm massage to release limbs laden with tension, and aromatherapy oils to relax and untangle frazzled fingers. Alternatively, clients can opt for nail extensions, annexing digits with a full set of thin, flexible, Backscratchers extensions that sustain color for weeks at a time without harming the natural nails below. Releaf’s cheerily patterned wallpaper, gilded mirrors, and vintage furnishings add a sense of eclectic fun to serene, unhurried service.
