Even the most basic manicure or pedicure at Studio Chic Salon and Spa includes a mini massage. The standard is set high, and Adrianne Thorpe layers on the luxury to pamper her clients. She dips hands into skin-softening paraffin wax and exfoliates feet with a sugar scrub. Regular polish can be swapped out for special gel polish that protects keratin sheets against scratches for up to two weeks. Even then, Adrianne can paint nails in a monochromatic hue or treat each nail as a mini canvas, painting polka dots, chevron stripes, and flowers. She also covers unsightly finger tips with artificial nails or tiny but friendly puppets.
