Manicure & Pedicure
Give your hands and feet the care they deserve
From Hair On has provided manicure and pedicure services to Port Moody, Coquitlam and PoCo clients since 1997. If you’ve ever envied beautiful hands or feet or are embarrassed to wear toeless shoes or go barefoot, you’re not alone. Many people shy away from having a manicure or pedicure because they’re embarrassed by their feet. Don’t be! Most people neglect them, though they shouldn’t! A periodic mani-pedi is an important part of hand and foot health and can give you fingernails and toenails you’ll be proud to show off, so you can be the envy of others. That’s not the point, though. Beautiful hands and feet make you feel better and there are also hidden health benefits.

We offer Gel and French manicures.
Gel manicures use gel-polish, which is cured by UV or LED light. Gel manicures are more durable than regular manicures.
French manicures are a classic look, using white or light opaque polish for the tip of the nail and light pink, natural (“nude”) polish for the base of the nail.
Benefits of Nail Care
The words manicure and pedicure are derived from Latin. “Manicure” means “hand care” from manus for “hand”, and cura for “care”. Likewise, “pedicure” means “foot care” from pedis for “foot” and cura for “care”. Foot and nail care and adornment (polish or dye) has been around since the days of ancient Egypt.
