Why Get a Signature Manicure at ila Only Spa?
The signature manicure at ila Only Spa transforms ordinary nail care into an exquisite, luxurious experience. Unlike a salon manicure, which typically focuses on the essentials — nail shaping, cuticle trimming and polish application — a spa manicure surpasses these fundamental steps with additional treatments that enhance both the health and appearance of your nails and hands.
Get both a signature manicure and a signature pedicure at this luxury spa inside the Lotte New York Palace on Madison Avenue in Manhattan for a true spa hotel experience. They’re each personalized to suit your unique preferences and nail health. Licensed nail technicians provide expert advice on nail care and suggest premium products, such as cuticle softeners or strengthening serums, based on your specific needs.

What’s Involved in a Signature Manicure?
The goals of a signature manicure at ila Only Spa include great-looking fingernails and optimal hand and nail health. To achieve this outcome, your nail technician follows a number of steps, which may include:
- Trimming and shaping your nails to your preferred length and style: round, square, almond or oval
- Filing to ensure smooth edges and symmetry, laying the foundation for a polished look
- Pushing back and trimming your excess cuticle growth, so essential for nail health and to make your nails look neat and clean while preventing hangnails or infection
- Soaking your hands in warm water to gently loosen dead skin
- Exfoliating your hands and forearms using a gentle scrub to remove dead skin cells, improve circulation and leave your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth
- Giving you a soothing hand massage to relax and refresh them
- Applying a paraffin wax treatment to your hands to deeply nourish dry or rough skin, which restores moisture and gives your hands a radiant, healthy glow
- Selecting and applying your polish, including the base, color and top coat for a lasting finish
- Performing the final touches, such as applying cuticle oil, cleaning up and providing care tips
When your spa manicure is complete, your hands not only look perfectly trimmed; they also look younger. If you work with the public or in the media, a signature manicure may be work-related essential. Get your next manicure at one of the top spas in NYC: ila Only Spa.
How Often Should I Get a Spa Manicure?
For best results, get a signature manicure every two-to-three weeks. This gives your nails enough time to grow naturally, while keeping them polished and healthy. Regular appointments help you avoid nail breakage, peeling polish and dry cuticles. Sticking to this schedule also keeps your nails fresh and your polish color vibrant.
If your nails grow quickly or you use your hands constantly for work or hobbies, book a manicure bi-weekly. Special occasions that call for a spa manicure include:
- Weddings and bachelorette parties
- Birthdays, anniversaries and other family events
- Romantic dates
- Corporate celebrations
- Weekend spa getaways or self-care days
- Couples’ spa days and other bonding experiences
How Long Does a Spa Manicure Usually Take?
A typical signature manicure at ila Only Spa takes 45 to 60 minutes. The duration depends on your level of customization and the condition of your nails. If you add enhancements like nail art, special treatments or polish upgrades, you can expect the appointment to run closer to 75 minutes.
A signature manicure is a full-service experience designed to prioritize both beauty and wellness. You never feel rushed, as all the attention is focused on you. Plan to spend about an hour to fully enjoy this luxurious experience, where you can receive other complementary services, such as a facial or waxing.
Contact ila Only Spa for your next spa manicure. Taking an hour out of your day for a manicure may feel like a luxury, but it comes with long-term benefits, such as:
- Healthier nails and cuticles
- Improved skin texture and hydration
- Reduced stress through gentle massage
- A polished and professional appearance that lasts
