Our Signature Pedicure Services

Gel Deluxe Pedicure: The Perfect Balance

Our Gel Deluxe Pedicure represents the ideal combination of therapeutic care and lasting beauty. This service has become a client favorite for those who want their pedicure to maintain its flawless appearance for weeks rather than days. The treatment begins with a warm, aromatic foot soak that incorporates mineral salts to soften the skin and prepare your feet for the pampering ahead.

The gel deluxe experience includes meticulous nail shaping, comprehensive cuticle care, and thorough callus removal using professional-grade tools and techniques. We take our time to ensure every aspect of your foot health is addressed, from treating dry patches to smoothing rough areas on heels and soles. The exfoliation process uses gentle yet effective scrubs that remove dead skin cells while promoting circulation.

What sets our Gel Deluxe Pedicure apart is the application of premium gel polish. Unlike traditional polish that can chip within days, gel polish provides a mirror-like finish that remains chip-free for up to three weeks. The curing process under LED lamps ensures immediate drying, meaning you can walk out of our salon without worrying about smudges or dents in your polish. The color selection includes hundreds of shades, from classic neutrals to bold statement colors and seasonal favorites.

The service concludes with a hydrating massage using specially formulated lotions enriched with vitamins and essential oils. This massage not only feels incredible but also improves blood flow and leaves your skin feeling silky smooth. Many clients schedule this service before vacations, weddings, or simply as a regular maintenance treatment to keep their feet looking salon-perfect.

Premium Pedicure: Elevated Care and Attention

The Premium Pedicure at Nails VN takes foot care to the next level with enhanced treatments and extended pampering time. This service is designed for clients who want comprehensive foot rejuvenation with added therapeutic benefits. The experience begins with an extended soaking period in our luxury spa chairs, which feature massage functions that work on your back and legs while your feet soak.

Our Premium Pedicure incorporates advanced exfoliation methods, including sugar scrubs or sea salt treatments that are customized based on your skin type and condition. We pay special attention to problem areas such as cracked heels, callused pressure points, and dry skin patches. The nail care component is equally thorough, with precise shaping, detailed cuticle work, and a buffing process that creates a healthy, natural shine.

One of the distinguishing features of this service is the hot towel treatment. Warm, aromatic towels are wrapped around your feet and lower legs, opening pores and allowing moisturizing products to penetrate deeply. This is followed by an extended massage that targets specific pressure points associated with reflexology, promoting relaxation throughout your entire body.

The Premium Pedicure includes your choice of traditional polish or gel application, with our technicians providing expert recommendations based on your lifestyle and preferences. We also offer paraffin wax treatments as an add-on, which provides deep moisturization and is particularly beneficial during Michigan's harsh winter months when feet tend to become especially dry.

Royal Pedicure: The Ultimate Indulgence

For those seeking the absolute pinnacle of pedicure luxury, our Royal Pedicure delivers an experience that rivals high-end spa resorts. This signature treatment is our most comprehensive service, combining every beneficial element of foot care into one extraordinary session that typically lasts 75 to 90 minutes.

The Royal Pedicure begins with a ceremonial foot bath featuring rose petals, essential oils, and therapeutic salts. While your feet soak in this aromatic blend, you'll enjoy a beverage of your choice as you relax in our premium massage chairs. The treatment progresses through multiple stages, each designed to address different aspects of foot health and beauty.

The exfoliation phase of the Royal Pedicure uses multiple products in sequence—beginning with a gentle enzyme treatment that breaks down dead skin, followed by a physical scrub, and finishing with a smoothing balm. This multi-step approach ensures the most thorough skin renewal possible. Our technicians then perform detailed nail and cuticle work using sterilized, professional-grade instruments.

What truly distinguishes the Royal Pedicure is the incorporation of a hot stone massage. Smooth, heated stones are used to massage your feet, ankles, and lower legs, providing deep muscle relaxation and improved circulation. This ancient technique, combined with aromatic oils, creates a sense of profound relaxation that many clients describe as meditative.

The service includes a collagen or vitamin-enriched mask applied to your feet and lower legs, wrapped in warm towels to maximize absorption. While the mask works its magic, you'll receive a hand and arm massage, ensuring you're pampered from fingertips to toes. The Royal Pedicure concludes with meticulous polish application—whether you prefer classic lacquer or long-lasting gel—and a final moisturizing treatment that leaves your skin incredibly soft.

Professional Eyelash Services

Classic Eyelash Applications

Beautiful, expressive eyes frame your face and enhance your natural beauty. At Nails VN, our eyelash services are performed by certified lash technicians who have undergone extensive training in safe application techniques and artistic design. We understand that eyelashes are delicate, and we treat them with the care and expertise they deserve.

Our classic eyelash service is perfect for clients who want to enhance their natural lash line with added length, volume, and definition. Whether you're interested in eyelash extensions that last for weeks or temporary strip lashes for a special event, we customize our approach to match your eye shape, natural lash condition, and desired outcome.

For eyelash extensions, we use only premium, lightweight synthetic fibers that are gentle on your natural lashes. The application process involves attaching individual extensions to your natural lashes using medical-grade adhesive that is both strong and safe. The result is a natural-looking enhancement that eliminates the need for mascara while giving you gorgeous, camera-ready lashes around the clock.

We offer various curl patterns and lengths, allowing you to choose anything from a natural, everyday look to dramatic, glamorous lashes for special occasions. Our technicians are skilled in creating customized lash maps that take into account your eye shape, ensuring the most flattering and comfortable result. Regular fills every two to three weeks help maintain your extensions in perfect condition.

3D Fiber Eyelashes: Revolutionary Volume

Our 3D Fiber Eyelash service represents the cutting edge of lash enhancement technology. This innovative treatment uses microscopic fibers that attach to your natural lashes, creating instant volume and length that looks remarkably natural. Unlike traditional extensions that require hours of application time, 3D fiber lashes can be applied more quickly while still delivering dramatic results.

The 3D fiber technology works by using a specially formulated gel that acts as a bonding agent. Natural fibers are then applied, adhering to the gel and extending beyond your natural lash tips. The process can be layered to build progressively more volume, allowing for customization from subtle enhancement to bold, theatrical looks. The fibers are made from plant-based materials that are hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive eyes.

What makes 3D Fiber Eyelashes particularly appealing is their versatility. They're ideal for clients who want the impact of extensions without the long-term commitment, as they can be removed easily at home. They're also perfect for special events—weddings, parties, photoshoots, or any occasion where you want your eyes to truly stand out. The results are water-resistant and can last for several days with proper care.

Our technicians are expert in creating balanced, symmetrical applications that enhance your natural eye shape. We can adjust the density and length to create various effects, from a natural daytime look with subtle definition to an evening look with bold, attention-grabbing volume. The application process is comfortable and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, making it an accessible luxury for busy schedules.

Why Choose Nails VN in Freeland

Commitment to Hygiene and Safety

At Nails VN, client safety is our top priority. We maintain the highest standards of sanitation and hygiene, following all Michigan state board regulations and exceeding industry best practices. Every tool that comes into contact with your skin is either single-use and disposable or thoroughly sterilized using hospital-grade autoclaves between each client.

Our pedicure stations feature pipeless spa chairs, which eliminate the risk of bacterial growth that can occur in traditional jetted tubs. These chairs are sanitized before and after each service using EPA-approved disinfectants. We use fresh, sanitized liners for every pedicure, and our technicians wash and sanitize their hands thoroughly between services.

All of our products—from polishes to lotions to eyelash adhesives—are sourced from reputable manufacturers and are regularly checked for quality and expiration dates. We are particularly careful with products used near the eyes, ensuring that all eyelash adhesives and removers are formulated for safe use in this sensitive area. Our salon is regularly inspected, and we proudly maintain all required licenses and certifications.

Experienced and Certified Technicians

The quality of service you receive is directly related to the skill and training of your technician. At Nails VN, we employ only licensed professionals who have completed comprehensive training programs and continue their education to stay current with the latest techniques and trends. Our nail technicians hold Michigan state licenses and have years of hands-on experience in providing a wide range of services.

Our eyelash specialists have undergone specialized certification programs in lash extension application and safety. They understand the anatomy of the eye area, proper isolation techniques, and how to create looks that are both beautiful and comfortable. This expertise ensures that your eyelash services not only look stunning but also maintain the health of your natural lashes.

Our team's experience extends beyond technical skill. They understand that each client is unique, with different preferences, skin sensitivities, and style preferences. They take time to consult with you before each service, asking about your goals, discussing options, and providing professional recommendations. This personalized approach ensures that you leave our salon completely satisfied with your experience.

Relaxing Atmosphere

From the moment you walk through our doors, you'll notice that Nails VN is designed to be a sanctuary from the stresses of daily life. Our salon features a calming color palette, comfortable seating, and ambient lighting that creates a spa-like atmosphere. Soft music plays in the background, and the air carries subtle, pleasant scents from our aromatherapy products.

Our pedicure area features state-of-the-art massage chairs that provide customizable massage functions, allowing you to adjust the intensity and focus areas to your preference. Each station offers privacy while maintaining an open, welcoming feel. We've thoughtfully designed the space to promote relaxation, with details like warm blankets available during treatments and refreshments offered to enhance your comfort.

The overall environment at Nails VN reflects our philosophy that beauty services should be rejuvenating experiences, not rushed appointments. We schedule adequate time for each service, ensuring that you never feel hurried and that your technician can provide meticulous attention to detail. Whether you're visiting us during a lunch break or planning an extended pampering session, you'll find our atmosphere conducive to genuine relaxation.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To maximize your experience at Nails VN, there are several things you can do to prepare for your visit. For pedicure services, we recommend wearing comfortable pants that can be easily rolled up to mid-calf level, or bringing shorts or a skirt to change into. Avoid shaving your legs within 24 hours before your appointment, as freshly shaved skin can be more sensitive to exfoliation and products.

If you're coming in for eyelash services, arrive with clean lashes free of makeup, mascara, and oil-based products. If you wear contact lenses, you may want to bring your lens case and solution, as some clients find it more comfortable to remove their contacts during lash application. It's also helpful to avoid consuming caffeine immediately before your appointment, as this can make it more difficult to keep your eyes still during the application process.

For all services, arriving a few minutes early allows you to complete any necessary paperwork, use the restroom, and settle in without feeling rushed. If you have any allergies, sensitivities, or medical conditions that might affect your service, please inform your technician during the consultation. This information helps us customize your treatment and select the most appropriate products for your needs.

Maintaining Your Results at Home

The beautiful results you achieve at Nails VN can be extended with proper at-home care. For gel pedicures, moisturize your feet daily with a quality lotion or cream, paying special attention to heels and cuticles. Avoid using harsh exfoliants or pumice stones on your heels during the first week after your pedicure, as over-exfoliation can compromise the fresh, smooth results. When your gel polish eventually needs removal, we strongly recommend returning to the salon rather than attempting to peel it off at home, as improper removal can damage your natural nails.

For eyelash extensions and 3D fiber lashes, gentle care is essential. Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your lashes. When cleansing your face, use oil-free products around the eye area, as oils can break down the adhesive bonding your extensions. Brush your lashes gently each morning with a clean spoolie brush to keep them looking neat and separated. Sleep on your back or side rather than face-down to prevent crushing your lashes against your pillow.

For both pedicures and eyelash services, staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports the health of your nails and lashes from within. Biotin supplements, in particular, are known to support nail and hair health, though you should consult with your healthcare provider before beginning any supplement regimen.

Seasonal Considerations for Michigan Residents

Living in Michigan means adapting your beauty routine to dramatic seasonal changes. During the harsh winter months that Freeland experiences, your feet face particular challenges from cold temperatures, indoor heating, and heavy footwear. Winter is an ideal time to schedule regular pedicures, as the combination of professional exfoliation and intense moisturization helps combat the dry, cracked skin that many people experience during this season.

Our Royal Pedicure, with its extended moisturizing treatments and hot stone massage, is especially beneficial during winter months. The paraffin wax treatment we offer as an add-on provides a protective barrier that locks in moisture, helping your feet stay soft despite harsh weather conditions. We recommend scheduling pedicures every three to four weeks during winter to maintain optimal foot health and prevent problems like cracked heels and excessive dryness.

Spring and summer bring different considerations. As sandal season approaches, many clients increase the frequency of their pedicures to keep their feet looking their best in open-toed shoes. This is also when gel pedicures become particularly popular, as their durability makes them perfect for pool days, beach vacations, and outdoor activities. The chip-resistant nature of gel polish means your toes will look freshly painted throughout all your summer adventures.

For eyelash services, summer's humidity can actually help extensions last longer, as moisture in the air supports adhesive bonding. However, if you plan to spend significant time in chlorinated pools or saltwater, inform your lash technician so they can recommend the most durable options and provide specific care instructions.

The Science Behind Our Services

Understanding the technology and techniques behind our services helps clients appreciate the value and expertise involved. Gel polish, for instance, works through a process called polymerization. When exposed to specific wavelengths of LED or UV light, the gel polish undergoes a chemical reaction that transforms it from a liquid to a solid, durable coating. This process creates molecular bonds that are much stronger than those in traditional nail polish, explaining why gel manicures and pedicures last significantly longer.

The LED lamps we use at Nails VN are the latest generation of curing technology, offering faster curing times and lower heat emission than older UV lamps. These lamps are safe when used properly, and we follow manufacturer guidelines precisely to ensure optimal results without any risk to your skin.

Our eyelash extension adhesives are formulated specifically for use near the eyes, with ingredients that provide strong bonding while remaining flexible enough to move with your natural lashes. The cyanoacrylate-based formulas we use are medical-grade and hypoallergenic, designed to minimize the risk of irritation or allergic reaction. The adhesive cures when exposed to moisture in the air, creating a bond that's waterproof and long-lasting.

The 3D fiber technology represents an advancement over traditional fiber lashes. The fibers are precisely cut to microscopic lengths that attach to a gel base, creating a natural taper that mimics real lash growth. The plant-based composition ensures the fibers are lightweight and comfortable, while the gel's formulation allows for easy removal without damage to your natural lashes.

Building a Long-Term Beauty Routine

Consistency is key to maintaining optimal results from any beauty service. At Nails VN, we encourage clients to establish a regular schedule for their pedicure and eyelash appointments. For gel pedicures, we typically recommend visits every three to four weeks, which coincides with the natural growth cycle of your toenails and allows us to maintain your cuticles and polish before they begin to show significant wear.

For eyelash extensions, fills are generally needed every two to three weeks to replace lashes that have naturally shed and to maintain the full, lush appearance of your extensions. Waiting too long between fills can result in sparse patches that require a more extensive application to correct. By maintaining a consistent schedule, you'll always have beautiful lashes and avoid the more expensive process of complete re-application.

Regular professional care also allows our technicians to monitor the health of your nails and lashes over time, catching potential issues early before they become problems. We keep detailed notes on each client's services, preferences, and any sensitivities, ensuring continuity of care even if you see different technicians for different appointments.

Addressing Common Concerns

We understand that some clients may have concerns or questions about our services. One common question involves nail health and whether gel polish or frequent pedicures can cause damage. When applied and removed correctly by trained professionals, gel polish does not harm your natural nails. The key is proper removal—peeling or picking at gel polish is what causes damage, not the product itself. Our removal process involves gentle soaking and careful work to ensure your natural nails remain healthy.

For eyelash services, clients sometimes worry about whether extensions will damage their natural lashes. When applied correctly with appropriate weight and technique, extensions do not cause damage. Each extension is applied to a single natural lash using a small amount of adhesive, and the weight of the extension is carefully selected to be appropriate for your natural lash strength. Problems typically only arise from improper application or from clients rubbing or pulling at their extensions.

Sensitivity concerns are also common, particularly regarding eyelash adhesive. While reactions are rare, we conduct patch tests for clients who have a history of sensitivities or allergies. We also carry multiple formulations of adhesive with varying drying times and compositions, allowing us to select the best option for your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a gel pedicure last?

A gel pedicure from Nails VN typically lasts two to three weeks without chipping or dulling. Some clients report even longer wear time, particularly on toenails which grow more slowly than fingernails. The longevity depends partly on your activities and how well you care for your feet at home. With proper moisturizing and avoiding harsh treatments, you can maximize the lifespan of your gel pedicure.

What's the difference between your pedicure levels?

Our Gel Deluxe Pedicure focuses on long-lasting gel polish application combined with essential nail care and a relaxing foot massage. The Premium Pedicure adds extended massage time, hot towel treatments, and more intensive exfoliation and moisturizing. The Royal Pedicure is our most comprehensive service, incorporating hot stone massage, multiple treatment masks, and the most extensive pampering session, typically lasting 75-90 minutes compared to 45-60 minutes for other services.

Can I get a pedicure if I have diabetes or circulation issues?

We welcome clients with various health conditions, but we do require that you inform us of any medical concerns before your service. For clients with diabetes or circulatory issues, we take extra precautions, use gentler techniques, and avoid certain treatments that might be risky. We may request written clearance from your healthcare provider for certain conditions. Your safety is always our primary concern, and we'd rather take a conservative approach than risk complications.

How should I prepare for my first eyelash extension appointment?

Arrive with clean lashes free of makeup, mascara, and oils. Avoid caffeine immediately before your appointment, as it can make it harder to keep your eyes still. The appointment typically takes 90 minutes to two hours for a full set, so plan accordingly and avoid scheduling immediately before important commitments. Bring headphones if you'd like to listen to music or a podcast, as many clients find this helps them relax during the application process.

Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?

When applied correctly by a trained professional and properly maintained, eyelash extensions will not damage your natural lashes. The key factors are using the appropriate weight extension for each natural lash, using correct isolation technique so only one extension is attached to each natural lash, and proper aftercare. Damage typically only occurs from improper application, using extensions that are too heavy, or from clients rubbing or pulling at their extensions.

How often should I get fills for my eyelash extensions?

We recommend scheduling fills every two to three weeks. Your natural lashes shed continuously as part of their growth cycle, taking their attached extensions with them. Regular fills replace these lost extensions before gaps become noticeable. Waiting longer than three weeks between appointments may result in such significant loss that a full new set is required rather than just a fill, which is more time-consuming and expensive.

What's the difference between 3D fiber lashes and extensions?

Eyelash extensions are individually applied synthetic fibers bonded to each natural lash, designed to last several weeks with proper care and regular fills. 3D fiber lashes use microscopic fibers applied over your natural lashes for immediate volume and length but are designed to last only a few days. They're ideal for special occasions when you want dramatic results without the commitment of extensions, and they're removed more easily at home.

Can I swim or shower with eyelash extensions?

Once the adhesive has fully cured (24 hours after application), eyelash extensions are waterproof. You can swim, shower, and even cry without worry. However, we recommend avoiding excessive exposure to chlorine and saltwater when possible, as these can break down the adhesive more quickly. After swimming or showering, gently pat your lashes dry and brush them with a clean spoolie once they're completely dry.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?

We understand that life happens and sometimes plans need to change. We request that you provide at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. This allows us to offer your appointment time to another client. Late cancellations or no-shows may be subject to a fee, as they represent lost income for both the salon and your technician. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with this policy.

Do you offer any loyalty programs or package deals?

Yes, we offer several options for our regular clients. Ask our front desk staff about our loyalty program, which provides rewards based on your visit frequency and service totals. We also occasionally offer package deals on multiple services or discounts for referring friends. Follow us on social media or join our email list to stay informed about current promotions and special offers.

Are your products safe during pregnancy?

Most of our services are completely safe during pregnancy, but we recommend informing your technician if you're pregnant so we can make any necessary adjustments. We avoid certain strong-scented products and can modify techniques if you have pregnancy-related sensitivities. Many pregnant clients find our pedicure services especially beneficial for relieving the foot swelling and discomfort common during pregnancy. However, we always recommend discussing any beauty treatments with your healthcare provider first.

How do I remove gel polish at home if necessary?

While we strongly recommend returning to the salon for proper removal, if you must remove gel polish at home, never peel or pick at it. Soak cotton balls in acetone, place them on each nail, wrap with aluminum foil, and let sit for 10-15 minutes. The gel should then slide off gently with minimal pressure. Immediately moisturize your nails and cuticles afterward, and consider scheduling a strengthening treatment at your next visit.
