Paraffin Wax Treatment: Is It Worth the $10 Add-On?
Quick answer: A paraffin wax treatment dips your hands or feet in warm, melted wax, which traps heat and moisture so dry skin softens. It's worth the $10 add-on at Diamond Nails if your hands or heels feel rough, tight or cracked, especially in fall and winter.
How it works
- Lotion is applied to clean skin.
- Your hands or feet are dipped in warm paraffin a few times to build a coat.
- They're wrapped in plastic and a towel for several minutes.
- The wax peels off in one piece, leaving skin soft and smooth.
Who benefits most
- Dry, cracked hands from frequent hand-washing
- Rough heels and calluses
- Stiff hands that love warmth
- Anyone who wants the most relaxing version of their service
How to get it
- Add-on: $10 with any manicure or pedicure
- Included: in the Luxury Pedicure ($67)
Who should skip it
If you have broken skin, a rash, poor circulation, numbness or diabetes, ask your doctor first and let your nail tech know.
