When it comes to self-care, few things are as luxurious and beneficial as a professional manicure and pedicure. At Oggi Spa, we believe that these treatments are not just about beauty, but also about maintaining healthy nails and skin. Whether you're a seasoned spa-goer or a newbie, this ultimate guide will walk you through everything you need to know about manicure and pedicure treatments.
What is a Manicure and Pedicure?
Manicure
A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the hands and fingernails. It typically involves trimming, shaping, and polishing the nails, as well as treating the cuticles and often includes a hand massage. At Oggi Spa, our manicures are designed to keep your nails healthy and your hands feeling rejuvenated.
Pedicure
A pedicure focuses on the feet and toenails. This treatment involves soaking the feet, exfoliating dead skin, trimming and shaping the nails, and moisturizing the feet. Our pedicure services at Oggi Spa ensure that your feet not only look good but feel amazing.
Benefits of Regular Manicure and Pedicure Treatments
Healthier Nails
Regular manicure and pedicure treatments help in preventing nail diseases and disorders. By keeping your nails trimmed, clean, and moisturized, you reduce the risk of fungal infections and other nail problems.
Improved Circulation
Both treatments typically include a massage which helps to improve blood circulation. Improved circulation can reduce pain and help distribute heat during the colder months.
Stress Relief
Taking time out for a manicure and pedicure can be a great way to relax and unwind. The soothing environment at Oggi Spa, combined with the gentle massage, can help reduce stress levels.

Maintaining Your Manicure and Pedicure at Home
Hydration
Keep your hands and feet moisturized by applying lotion regularly. This helps in maintaining the softness achieved during your spa visit.
Nail Care
Avoid using your nails as tools to open cans or packages. This prevents chipping and breakage.
