Luxury Therapeutic Manicure
A manicure is a beauty treatment specifically for your hands and your nails. This is a nail treatment with amazing results that can be seen after just six manicures. And it’s the perfect nail treatment ideal for those with brittle or weak nails as the aim of the manicure is to strengthen and help nails to grow.
A variety of tools, creams and oils are used during the manicure treatment in order to clean and shape your nails. Care is also given to your cuticles and a hand massage is also given to help the look and feel of your hands. Manicures really are the ultimate in pampering!
Having regular manicures ensures that your hands and nails are in excellent condition. At La Bella Beauty Salon in Gloucester, we recommend manicures once or twice a month to ensure nails remain shaped, prevent snagging and keep cuticles neat. If you have gel nails, these will also need to be filled regularly to keep your manicure looking in tip-top condition.
Achieve Beautiful Looking Nails
As well as leaving you looking and feeling good, manicures also have a whole host of benefits:
Massaging your nails, cuticles and the skin on your hands, encourages the renewal of important skin cells and aids nail growth leaving nails longer and stronger;
Cuticles take care of the cells of your nails, so looking after them is essential for healthy nails;
Nail polishes can act as nail protection. We have a range of nail polishes including the classic french manicure.
Manicures look great for every day wear as well as for that special occasion!
Gel Nail Manicures
Gel nails are a type of artificial or “fake” nail designed to give the appearance of a natural nail. Gel nails are made with a specialist liquid and powder that when mixed, form the basis for the artificial nail.
At La Bella Beauty, Gloucester we use Orly Gel FX, a specialist manicure treatment like no other. With the Orly products packed full of antioxidants and vitamins, your nails will look better than ever - we think manicures and Orly Gels go hand in hand!
The benefits of having gel nails are vast: they’re easy to put on, durable odour-free and lightweight.
Gel Pedicures
Those of you looking for a longer-lasting treatment might like our gel pedicure service. Your nails will be polished with your favourite colour before being cured under a UV light to seal and set the polish. The end result is shiny, strong nails that usually remain smudge-proof and free from chips for up to two weeks.
Using quality gel polish from Gel Bottle, you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to your look. The GelBottle Inc™ gel polishes are rich, highly pigmented, chip-resistant and offer extremely long lasting shine. The good news doesn’t end there because they are also VEGAN, CRUELTY-FREE.
Callus Peels
Rough and cracked heels can feel like a secret you don't want to reveal but it doesn't have to be this way! A Callus is an area of thickened, hard skin usually found over a bony area of your foot, on your heel or on the ball of your foot. It can range from being aesthetically displeasing to being so painful that it restricts your choice of footwear and activity.
La Bella Beauty Salon in Gloucester offers effective Callus Peels which remove dry, dead skin and calluses. Available to both men and women, our callus peel treatments are safe, hygienic and painless and will transform your feet from feeling dry and rough to perfect & super soft. They can be carried out as a stand-alone treatment or combined to include a full pedicure to really treat your feet and leave them looking and feeling fabulous.

What types of manicures are available and which one is best for me?
«There are several types of manicures available, including classic polish manicures, gel manicures, and luxury manicures with added treatments like exfoliation and hand massage. The best option depends on your lifestyle and desired finish. If you want a natural, short-term look, a classic manicure is ideal. For longer-lasting, chip-resistant results, a gel manicure is often the most popular choice. Our therapists at Fringe Benefits & La Bella Beauty Salon in Gloucester can recommend the best manicure for your nails and lifestyle.
How long do manicures last and how can I make them last longer?
«A standard manicure usually lasts around 5–7 days, while a gel manicure can last up to 2–3 weeks without chipping. To make your manicure last longer, avoid excessive exposure to water and harsh chemicals, wear gloves when cleaning, and regularly apply cuticle oil to keep nails hydrated. Proper aftercare can significantly extend the life and appearance of your manicure.
What is included in a professional manicure treatment?
«A professional manicure typically includes nail shaping, cuticle care, buffing, and the application of polish or gel. Many treatments also include a relaxing hand massage and nourishing products to improve skin and nail health. At our Gloucester salon, luxury manicure treatments may also include exfoliation and deeper hydration for softer, smoother hands.
Are gel manicures better than regular polish manicures?
«Gel manicures offer a longer-lasting, high-shine finish that is more resistant to chips compared to regular polish. They are ideal for clients who want low-maintenance nails that stay perfect for weeks. However, regular polish manicures are a great option if you prefer to change your nail colour frequently or want a quicker, more flexible treatment.
Can manicures help improve nail health or are they just cosmetic?
«Manicures are not only cosmetic—they can also support nail health when performed regularly. Treatments help keep nails neatly shaped, prevent splitting, and improve overall nail condition through hydration and cuticle care. Regular professional manicures can also encourage healthy nail growth and improve the appearance of dry or damaged hands.
How often should I get a manicure?
«Most clients book a manicure every 2–3 weeks, depending on the type of treatment and how quickly their nails grow. Gel manicures are usually maintained every 2–3 weeks, while classic manicures may be refreshed weekly. Regular appointments help keep nails looking tidy, healthy, and well maintained.
