Manicures & Pedicures: What to Expect

WHAT TO EXPECT

Overview

InSpa offers spa-grade manicures and pedicures with a focus on cleanliness and sanitation, so you can relax knowing your nail treatments are safe and clean. Your safety and well-being are paramount to our success. All metal nail implements are sterilized in medical-grade autoclaves between guests with items such as nail files and buffers used only once and only for single-use.

At InSpa we only use free-standing pedicure tubs which are fully removed, soaked, and sanitized between each service. (Many spas and salons use pedicure tubs that are self-plumbed, meaning bacteria can remain in the pipes between services and may cause infection.)

At InSpa we take great pride in meeting, and exceeding, all Washington State sanitation requirements.

Can I book an appointment if I have nail fungus?

When it comes to nails, we want to make sure everything is properly sanitized for our guest’s safety. Metal implements are run through our medical grade autoclave sterilizer while all other tools are made for single use or are sanitized with EAP Disinfectants.
