Frequently Asked Questions

Unveiling the mysteries behind our nail artistry and care

Our signature manicure dances through time at approximately 45-60 minutes, while our artistic gel applications might stretch to 75-90 minutes. Each fingertip canvas receives the attention it deserves, without rushing the creative process. For those with time constraints, our Express Manicure option whispers elegance in just 30 minutes – perfect for busy butterflies who still deserve beautiful wings.

At Qymavo, we don't just treat feet – we elevate them to royalty status. Our pedicures feature a proprietary 7-step renewal ritual using handcrafted botanical scrubs and therapeutic-grade essential oils. Our signature "Whisper Walk" technique ensures even the most sensitive feet receive gentle yet effective care. Unlike conventional pedicures, we employ medical-grade sterilization for all tools and use disposable liners in our luxurious soaking basins – ensuring your journey with us is as safe as it is sublime.

Prepare for your Qymavo debut by arriving with clean, polish-free nails if possible. Wear open-toed shoes for pedicures to preserve your masterpiece. Consider collecting inspiration images that whisper to your soul – our artists thrive on translating your vision. Most importantly, come ready to surrender 'digital distractions' – your hands deserve a vacation from your phone, and our sanctuary offers a rare moment of uninterrupted self-connection. Lastly, hydrate well beforehand; properly moisturized cuticles are like prepared canvases, ready to embrace beauty.

Our gel manicures are poetry that lingers for 2-3 weeks, maintaining their luster and resilience through your daily adventures. This longevity varies with your personal biochemistry, lifestyle habits, and how you nurture your nails post-appointment. Gardeners, pianists, and frequent swimmers might notice earlier wear, while desk dwellers often enjoy extended perfection. We provide specialized aftercare techniques to maximize your manicure's lifespan – consider them love letters to your future self, preserving beauty through the passage of days.

Imagination knows no bounds at Qymavo – our artisans craft bespoke nail art on both regular and gel canvases. While gel provides a more enduring stage for complex designs (lasting 2-3 weeks), our innovative regular polish techniques can still showcase intricate patterns for 7-10 days. We've perfected quick-dry formulations that allow layered artistry even with traditional polish. From minimalist geometric whispers to elaborate storytelling across ten fingers, your vision materializes regardless of your polish preference. The only limitation is time – more elaborate designs may require extended appointments, which we're happy to accommodate.

Absolutely – our "Tender Touch" protocols are specifically choreographed for those with unique nail journeys. Whether you're navigating psoriasis, recovering from artificial nail removal, or managing hypersensitivity, our specialists craft personalized experiences using hypoallergenic, fragrance-free formulations. We maintain partnerships with dermatologists and podiatrists to ensure our techniques complement medical care. For clients undergoing cancer treatments, our "Gentle Renewal" service offers specialized care addressing common nail changes during therapy. Please mention any concerns during booking so we can tailor your visit accordingly – at Qymavo, inclusivity isn't just welcomed, it's embedded in our foundation.

Safety at Qymavo isn't just practiced – it's revered. Our three-tier sterilization system exceeds industry standards, beginning with hospital-grade disinfectants, followed by autoclave sterilization, and finishing with UV-C sanitizing chambers. All metal implements undergo this trinity of protection between every client. We've banished shared soaking bowls in favor of single-use, biodegradable liners. Our technicians perform a choreographed hand-washing ritual visible to clients before each service – transparency that builds trust. We've eliminated potentially harmful ingredients from our product lines, prioritizing "9-free" formulations. This devotion to safety isn't just protocol; it's our silent promise woven into every service.

While we embrace personal expression, we gently discourage bringing outside polishes for several reasons. Our curated collection features over 200 shades specifically selected for their superior pigmentation, longevity, and ethical formulation. Outside polishes may contain incompatible ingredients that compromise adherence or drying time. However, for sentimental favorites or discontinued treasures, we make heartfelt exceptions – simply mention this during booking so our technicians can prepare accordingly. We also offer custom color matching if you've fallen in love with a shade we don't carry, allowing us to recreate your beloved hue within our professional-grade palette.

Time at Qymavo is precious – each appointment is a reserved artisanal experience. We respectfully request 24-hour notice for cancellations, allowing us to offer your time to others waiting for our touch. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) may incur a 50% reservation fee, while no-shows dance with a full service charge. For late arrivals, we'll orchestrate a modified service within your remaining time, ensuring quality isn't compromised by compression. If you're running more than 15 minutes behind, a courtesy call helps us rearrange our composition to still accommodate you. Consistent respect for time receives recognition through our Punctuality Perks program – little thank-yous for helping our day flow like a well-timed waltz.

Gifting self-care is profound poetry – our artfully designed gift certificates transform into tickets to transformation. Available in digital or physical format (the latter presented in our signature amethyst envelopes with wax seals), they never expire and tell someone they deserve to be masterfully tended. Our curated packages include "Seasonal Symphonies" that change quarterly, "Milestone Celebrations" for life's grand moments, and "Duet Sessions" for shared experiences. Our "Subscription Sonnets" provide monthly or bi-monthly standing appointments at preferred pricing – regular rhythms of rejuvenation woven into life's fabric. For corporate gifting or bridal parties, our concierge team crafts bespoke experiences reflecting your unique relationship language.
