Classic vs. Collagen Deluxe Manicure: What's the Difference?

October 10, 2026•2 min read

Quick answer: A Classic Manicure ($20) shapes your nails, tidies cuticles and adds regular polish. The Collagen Deluxe Manicure ($30) adds extra hydration and pampering for dry hands. Choose Classic for a quick refresh and Collagen Deluxe when your hands feel dry, rough or tired.

The Classic Manicure ($20)

  • Nail trim and shaping
  • Cuticle care
  • Regular polish in your color

It is a great everyday choice and the lowest-cost manicure on our menu.

The Collagen Deluxe Manicure ($30)

Everything in the Classic, plus a richer, more hydrating treatment for your hands. It is a favorite in fall and winter, when cold air and frequent hand-washing dry out skin.

Which one should you pick?

  • Pick Classic if your hands are in good shape and you want neat nails and fresh color.
  • Pick Collagen Deluxe if your cuticles are cracking, your hands feel tight, or you want a little more relaxation.
  • Want color that lasts? Choose a Gel Manicure ($35) instead of regular polish.

Add-ons

Add paraffin wax ($10) for very dry hands, a French tip (from $5) or simple designs (from $5). New clients get 10% off the first visit. See our offers.
