Nail Services
Nail health is just as important as skin health. We understand that changes to nail appearance can impact self-confidence. Nails and the surrounding skin should be treated with respect and care to ensure that the cuticle or nail barrier isn't damaged leading to infection or further nail damage.
At Beauty by the Bay, we have expertise in providing nail health grooming services including medi-mani and pedi services. These are multi-modal therapies, tailored to your nail health needs.
We also can treat nail concerns and services for those who may experience difficulty with reaching their feet or are immune compromised associated with:
-
Medical Conditions & Medication (side effects)
-
Ageing

Mobility impaired
In some cases, treatment may also involve referral or co-management with a medical health professional to discuss other options to support your treatment.
