Accepted Answer

Of course! A VS Nails & Beauty gift card is the perfect present. You can purchase it for a specific service (like a Russian manicure or a relaxing massage) or for a set amount. It's ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, or simply to surprise someone special.

Question 7

Are your services also for men?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We offer treatments for both women and men. Services like deep facial cleansing, electric hair removal (especially for beard design or neckline), and our therapeutic massages are very popular among our male clients who want to take care of themselves in Las Palmas.

Question 8

Where is VS Nails & Beauty beauty center located?

Accepted Answer

Our beauty salon is located in a central area of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, very close to the Mesa y López area and Auditorio Alfredo Kraus. The exact address and a map are available on our contact page.

Question 9

What's the difference between express manicure and Russian manicure?

Accepted Answer

Express manicure (45 min) is perfect if you're in a hurry: quick cuticle cleaning, filing and buffing, NO polish. The Russian manicure, on the other hand, is an advanced dry technique with a drill that deep-cleans the cuticle, allowing for a more precise and long-lasting finish with semi-permanent polish included. The result is visibly more professional and the manicure lasts longer looking flawless.

Question 10

How long does a Russian manicure take?

Accepted Answer

A complete Russian manicure takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition of your nails. It's longer than a traditional manicure, but the result lasts much longer and your nails stay perfect for weeks.

Question 11

How much does a Russian manicure cost in Las Palmas?

Accepted Answer

At VS Nails & Beauty we offer Russian manicure from 30€ for short nails, 35€ for medium and 40€ for long nails. The price includes deep cuticle cleaning with drill, semi-permanent polish and basic nail art. Check our exact prices on the pricing page.

Question 12

Do you offer nail art designs at your salon?

Accepted Answer

Of course! We are nail art specialists. From simple and elegant designs to more elaborate decorations. You can bring your inspiration or let our nail experts advise you. Basic nail art is included, and more complex designs have a small supplement.

Question 13

How do you properly remove semi-permanent polish or gel?

Accepted Answer

Never pick or peel off gel at home—you'll damage your natural nail! At our manicure salon in Las Palmas we remove semi-permanent polish or gel safely: we soak the nails in acetone, let the product lift off by itself, and then deeply hydrate. It's a process that protects your nail health.

Question 14

Why choose VS Nails & Beauty for my nails in Las Palmas?

Accepted Answer

We are specialists in Russian manicure and gel nails. We work with quality products (long-lasting polishes, high-quality gels), use advanced techniques, guarantee absolute hygiene with autoclave sterilization, and our team is continuously trained. Nails stay perfect and healthy.

Question 15

How long does semi-permanent polish last on feet?

Accepted Answer

Semi-permanent polish on our pedicure can last up to 4 to 5 weeks, even longer than on hands, since toenails grow slower and suffer less wear. It's ideal for summer or if you want to have perfect feet without constant maintenance.

Question 16

I have very weak and brittle nails, what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

For weak nails, we recommend our builder gel treatment that strengthens the natural nail without adding length. Daily hydration with cuticle oil and avoiding incorrect gel removal is also essential. At your appointment, we'll evaluate your nails and design a personalized strengthening plan.

Question 17

How often should I get a deep facial cleansing?

Accepted Answer

To keep your skin at its best, we recommend a deep facial cleansing every 4 to 6 weeks. This cycle allows you to eliminate accumulated impurities, unclog pores, and keep skin oxygenated. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, you may benefit from slightly more frequent treatments at first.

Question 18

What are the benefits of facial cleansing with Korean double cleansing?

Accepted Answer

Our facial cleansing with Korean double cleansing offers exceptional depth. First we remove oily impurities (makeup, sebum) with an oil-based cleanser, and then aqueous ones (sweat, pollution) with a water-based cleanser. We follow with papaya enzymatic peel, ultrasonic spatula for gentle extractions, and oxygenation with high frequency. The result is radiant skin, clean pores, and an immediate glow.

Question 19

Is papaya enzymatic peel suitable for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. Papaya enzymatic peel is the ideal option for sensitive, reactive, or rosacea-prone skin. Unlike chemical or mechanical peels, the papain enzyme exfoliates very gently and respectfully, removing only dead cells without irritation. It adds luminosity without aggression.

Question 20

Does anti-aging LED treatment have contraindications?

Accepted Answer

Infrared LED therapy is a non-invasive and very safe treatment. However, it's not recommended if you're pregnant, have photosensitive epilepsy, active cancer, or are taking photosensitizing medication. During your consultation in Las Palmas, we'll evaluate your case to ensure it's the right treatment for you.

Question 21

When will I see results with anti-aging LED treatment?

Accepted Answer

Anti-aging LED therapy stimulates collagen and elastin production from the first session. You'll notice an immediate improvement in skin luminosity and texture. Anti-aging results (reduction of expression lines, greater firmness) are progressive and become visible after 4-6 sessions. It's a cumulative treatment, so consistency is key.

Question 22

Is biomechanical lifting the same as surgical facelift?

Accepted Answer

No, they are completely different. Biomechanical lifting is a NON-invasive treatment that works the facial muscles through electrostimulation and specific massage, achieving natural firming and toning without surgery, without needles, and without recovery. It's like a gym for your face. It's ideal for preventing sagging or as maintenance, with natural and immediate results.

Question 23

Does biomechanical facial lifting hurt?

Accepted Answer

No, it's completely painless. During treatment you'll feel slight muscle contractions that are totally comfortable. Many clients describe it as a pleasant 'tickle' or 'tingling'. No needles, no pain, just relaxation and visible results.

Question 24

Are the products you use in facial treatments vegan?

Accepted Answer

Yes, at VS Nails & Beauty we work exclusively with vegan, cruelty-free, high-end cosmetics. We care about your skin care, but also about respect for animals and the environment. We use recognized brands with natural and effective formulations.

Question 25

Do you do facial treatments for acne-prone or blemished skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our deep facial cleansing is very effective for oily, acne-prone, or blemished skin. We use specific techniques and products to unclog pores, control sebum production, and reduce inflammation. We'll also recommend a home care routine to maintain results.

Question 26

What is therapeutic chiropractic massage and what is it for?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic massage is a manual therapeutic massage that combines different techniques to treat specific muscular ailments. It relieves contractures, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces back and neck pain, and restores muscular balance. It's ideal if you have accumulated tension, work many hours sitting, or suffer from muscle overload.

Question 27

What's the difference between anti-stress massage and chiropractic massage?

Accepted Answer

Anti-stress massage is designed for deep relaxation of the nervous system. It uses gentle, fluid, and enveloping movements to release emotional tensions and promote general well-being. Therapeutic chiropractic massage is more specific and localized, with greater pressure on contracted areas to relieve muscle pain. You can choose according to your need: relaxation or treatment.

Question 28

What is foot reflexology and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Foot reflexology is an ancient therapeutic technique that works on reflex points of the foot that correspond to different organs and body systems. By stimulating these points with specific pressure, balance is promoted, energy blockages are released, and the body's self-healing capacity is activated. It's deeply relaxing and beneficial for integral well-being.

Question 29

How often should I receive a massage to control stress?

Accepted Answer

If your goal is to manage stress and maintain emotional and physical balance, ideally receive an anti-stress massage once a month. If you're going through a period of intense stress or anxiety, you can benefit from fortnightly sessions. Our massage therapists in Las Palmas can design a wellness plan adapted to your lifestyle.

Question 30

Can I ask for the massage to be gentler or stronger?

Accepted Answer

Of course! Before we begin, we'll talk about your preferences and needs. During the session, you can always ask us to adjust the pressure. Communication is key so you can enjoy it to the fullest and the massage is effective. Your comfort is our priority.

Question 31

What should I do after a therapeutic massage?

Accepted Answer

After your massage at our Las Palmas center, we recommend drinking plenty of water to help eliminate released toxins, avoiding intense physical efforts for the rest of the day, and allowing yourself to rest to prolong the feeling of relaxation. Some people may feel a bit of muscle soreness the next day, which is normal and disappears quickly.

Question 32

When is it NOT advisable to receive a massage?

Accepted Answer

It's not advisable if you have a fever, active infections, deep vein thrombosis, serious cardiovascular problems, recent fractures, or right after surgery. If you're pregnant, have a chronic illness, or are taking medication, it's important to let us know before the session so we can adapt the treatment or assess if it's the right time.

Question 33

Can massage help me with chronic back pain?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic chiropractic massage is very effective in relieving back pain caused by contractures, poor posture, or accumulated tension. We work deep muscles, release tension points, and improve mobility. If your pain is chronic or structural (hernias, scoliosis), massage can be an excellent complement to your medical treatment, but not a substitute.

Question 34

Is electrolysis really 100% permanent and definitive?

Accepted Answer

Yes, electrolysis hair removal is the only method officially approved by the FDA as permanent. It definitively destroys the hair follicle papilla through an electric current. Once properly destroyed, that follicle cannot produce hair again. It's a lifetime solution, not a temporary reduction like other methods.

Question 35

Does electrolysis work to remove hormonal facial hair?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely yes! Electrolysis is the definitive solution for hormonal facial hair (hirsutism). Unlike laser, which doesn't detect fine or light hormonal hair, electrolysis treats each follicle individually, regardless of color, thickness, or hormonal cause of the hair. It's the treatment of choice for women with hair on chin, sideburns, upper lip, or neck due to hormonal imbalances.

Question 36

Does electrolysis work on white, grey, or blonde hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is its great advantage. Laser needs pigment (melanin) to work, so it can't treat white, grey, light blonde, or red hair. Electrolysis, on the other hand, doesn't depend on color. We work directly on the follicle, so it's effective on ALL hair types. It's the only real solution to permanently eliminate unpigmented hair.

Question 37

Does electrolysis hurt? Is it a painful treatment?

Accepted Answer

The sensation varies by person and area treated. It's generally described as a small pinch or very brief and tolerable heat. We adjust the parameters for your maximum comfort. Areas like the upper lip are more sensitive, but most clients find it perfectly bearable.

Question 38

How many electrolysis sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions depends on several factors: the area to treat, hair density, your hormonal growth cycle, and consistency in appointments. Generally, between 8 and 15 sessions distributed over months are needed to cover all hair growth cycles. During your free initial consultation, we'll give you a personalized estimate.

Question 39

How long does an electrolysis session last and how much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer 30-minute sessions (ideal for small areas like upper lip or eyebrows) from 30€, and 60-minute sessions (for more extensive areas like full chin or sideburns) from 50€. We also have 5 and 10-session packages with discount. Check all our electrolysis prices in Las Palmas.

Question 40

How should I prepare before my electrolysis session?

Accepted Answer

It's essential that you DO NOT pluck hair with tweezers, wax, or epilator for at least 2-3 weeks before your appointment. We need the hair to be visible to treat it. You can shave if needed. Keep skin clean, without makeup or creams on the day of the session, and avoid caffeine just before to reduce sensitivity.

Question 41

What care should I take after an electrolysis session?

Accepted Answer

Post-electrolysis care is simple: keep the area clean and dry, apply a soothing cream if we recommend it, avoid direct sun exposure for 48 hours, don't use makeup or irritating products that day, and don't touch or scratch the treated area. Small red dots may appear that disappear in 24-48 hours. This is totally normal.

Question 42

Do you offer packages or discounts for electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to facilitate your complete treatment, we offer discounted packages: the 5-session package saves you 30€ and the 10-session package saves you 60€. It's the most economical way to ensure your definitive hair removal. Packages have no expiration date, so you can use them at your own pace.
