I offer a unique service, carefully developed over my more than twenty years of practicing natural
nailcare in Andover and Boston, Massachusetts. My unique technique for nails is a personalized service that I have been
practicing and perfecting in Andover for twenty years.
I am a United States distributor of
Kosmea brand Rose Hip Oil skincare products.
At Mary for Nails, etc.
I concentrate on maintaining the health and well being of the skin
and nails and specialize in conditioning cuticles.
All Mary for Nails, etc. services are enhanced with aromatherapy.
You are greeted upon arrival by pleasant scents that encourage a relaxed mood.
Beethoven, Mozart, Sinatra, and even Glen Miller's big band sound play softly in the
background as your personalized manicure begins.
First I softly file the nails, conforming the
shape of the nail to each fingertip. I then soften and push back the cuticles, following
this with a thorough aromatherapy massage of each hand and wrist. The scents differ each
week. The massage activates the blood, improving circulation. It also moisturizes the skin while stimulating healthy nail growth.
Afterwards, I soak the nails and cuticles in a conditioning, bubbling nail spa. This procedure adds moisture back into the skin and nails making them flexible, not brittle. For those who prefer I can perform an optional exfoliating manicure including a grapeseed oil hand and nail treatment. Finally I spray your hands with rose water and remove all oil residue from the surface of the nails which are now ready for polish.
For men and women who don't use polish, I employ a three-step buffing system which
imparts a natural shine that lasts up to a week or more. Another very popular specialty of
mine is the elegant French manicure.
At Mary for Nails, etc. I also provide a manicure with all nail enhancements,
including my specialties which are silk wraps and tips. The unique technique I have
invented provides a durable and natural looking nail, designed to maintain the
maximum health of your own nail underneath the nail enhancements. If chips or tears
occur I can make one or two repairs, and your manicure of each nail will again appear even
and natural looking. You can maintain the durability of polish and your nails with silk wraps
alone.
To ensure you can continue good nail care at home, I have a professional vanity of
moisturizing creme and shower gels and body salt scrub, as well as
the entire line of nail polishes of various brands, nail strengtheners, and nail care products. My latest
addition is an all natural botanical skin and body care line of products from Australia called
Kosmea, come by for some samples.
Gift certificates and custom order gift baskets are even available for that special
person or occasion.
I take pride in my work so sanitation of all table implements and hands is a
priority. Personal satisfaction is also a priority. As a third generation
cosmetologist and nail technician, service is important and your satisfaction.
Come in and visit soon to experience the benefits of natural nailcare.
