Men’s Manicure in Pearland: what to expect
Going to the barbershop for a nice haircut and shave is something that most men are accustomed to, but with an increasing number of men looking for ways to enhance their natural looks, a manicure could be just what the doctor ordered.
But if you’ve never had a manicure and you’ve decided to give a manicure a try for your very first time, you may be wondering what to expect. It is important to know that just like a barber, each manicure technician has their own way or style of providing the service.
However, there are five basic things you can expect during your manicure.
Nail Cleaning
The first thing you can expect is for your nails to be cleaned with a gentle wipe of your nails with a cleaning solution to remove any dirt, ink, paint, or any other kind of stains on your fingernails. This moisturizes and preps your nails.
Nail Shaping
Once your nails have been cleaned and prepped, your nail technician will file and shape your nails in a square-tipped or rounded shape, depending on the natural texture and shape of your nails. Filing your nails in the natural shape in which it was created to grow ensures that your nails are strong and masculine.
Application of Cuticle Cream
This step is a very important step for the overall health of your nails. Your technician will apply cuticle cream to your cuticles with a cuticle pusher to gently push your cuticles down.
The cuticle is a layer of clear skin located along the bottom edge of your finger. This area is known as the nail bed. The cuticle function is to protect new nails from bacteria when they grow out from the nail root.

The area around your cuticle is delicate. It can get dry, damaged, and infected. It’s important to care for the entire nail area and keep it clean so that your nails stay healthy.
Hand Massage
Like all hardworking men, sometimes you need to take a load off, relax, and be pampered. Well, the hand massage is the holy grail of pampering and it’s one of the main reasons for having a manicure done.
During your hand massage, you can expect a variety of oh soo relaxing reflexology techniques being performed on your hands, which involves applying pressure to your hands with a specific finger, thumb and hand techniques to completely relax your hands.
The great news is that if you’re thinking about getting a manicure, you’re not alone. According to statistics, 22.19 million Americans performed manicure four or more times last year.
In addition, out of 2,000 men surveyed, grooming and beauty services, such as manicures are growing at a higher rate among African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians of both genders.
And if you live in the Pearland and or Houston metro area, booking a manicure at a local barbershop is easy as 1-2-3. Try a manicure for men today.
