Spa-grade pedicures incorporate extended soaking, callus reduction, and lower-leg massage for beachgoers managing saltwater and sand exposure. A full aesthetic refresh adds skin-rejuvenation sessions at Vitality Aesthetics between nail appointments. The salon specializes in structural acrylic overlays and Gel X soft-gel tip extensions for clients recovering from nail damage or building competition-length sets.
