Learn About our Services

Are you curious about nail care services or eyelash extensions? At America Nails & Spa in Aurora, Colorado, we pride ourselves on offering exceptional services tailored to your beauty needs. As a leading salon in the area, we frequently receive questions regarding our treatments, products, and overall experience. This FAQ page aims to provide clarity and help you make informed decisions before your visit.

What is the difference between a gel manicure and a shellac manicure?

Both are long-lasting nail polish options that are cured under a UV or LED lamp. Gel manicures typically use a thicker, semi-liquid gel that offers more durability and sculpting flexibility. Shellac is a specific brand of gel polish that applies more like traditional polish, making it thinner and easier to remove. Both offer a high-gloss, chip-resistant finish.

How do you ensure a clean and hygienic environment?

Your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We adhere to strict sanitation protocols, including the use of hospital-grade sterilizers for all metal tools. All files, buffers, and other porous tools are single-use and disposed of after each client. Our spa tubs are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every pedicure.

How long will my manicure or pedicure last?

The longevity depends on the service and your daily activities. A classic manicure typically lasts about 5-7 days, while a gel or shellac manicure can last 2-3 weeks without chipping. Pedicures generally last 3-4 weeks. We recommend using a quality cuticle oil and wearing gloves for household chores to extend the life of your service.

Should I book an appointment? Or do you accept walk-ins?

We always recommend booking an appointment to ensure we can provide you with a dedicated nail technician and the service you desire without a wait. We do our best to accommodate walk-ins, but service is based on availability. You can easily book an appointment through our website or by calling us directly.

What is the proper aftercare for my waxing service?

For 24-48 hours after your waxing service, it's best to avoid hot baths, saunas, and direct sun exposure. Wear loose clothing and keep the area clean and moisturized. Using a gentle exfoliating scrub a few days later can help prevent ingrown hairs.

What is a dip powder manicure, and how is it different from acrylic?

Dip powder nails involve dipping the nail into a colored powder, followed by a sealant. It's known for its durability, natural look, and longevity, often lasting up to 3 weeks. Acrylic nails are created by mixing a liquid monomer and a powdered polymer to form a dough-like substance that is then sculpted onto the nail. Dip powder is generally a quicker application process and is often considered a less damaging alternative to acrylics.
