The Tropical Manicure ($25) covers cuticle grooming, nail shaping, a hand massage with a hot towel wrap and your choice of polish. Paradise Luxe ($35) adds a mud mask, a scrub and paraffin, and Aloha Glow ($45) adds a mud mask, a scrub, a hot stone massage, collagen gloves and a steamer, with no paraffin listed. The manicures list regular polish only; no-chip gel is a pedicure add-on. If the skin around a nail is painful, swollen or looks infected, see a doctor first.
Here is what each tier includes and which manicure fits a Salt Lake Valley winter versus a regular Tuesday.
The Price Ladder Is Ten Dollars A Step
Line the three up and the jump is identical both times: Paradise Luxe is ten dollars more than Tropical, and Aloha Glow is ten dollars more than Paradise Luxe. Both upper tiers start from everything in the Tropical Manicure, then add different extras.
Paradise Luxe adds a mud mask, a scrub and paraffin to the Tropical base. Aloha Glow also adds a mud mask and a scrub, lists no paraffin, and adds a hot stone massage, collagen gloves and a steamer. Paradise Luxe is the only manicure with paraffin, and Aloha Glow is the only one with a hot stone massage and a steamer.
Tropical Manicure, $25
The base tier, and it is a full manicure on its own: detailed cuticle grooming, nail shaping, a relaxing hand massage with a hot towel wrap, and your choice of polish.
Book Tropical when your hands are doing fine and just need tidying and color. If you bite your nails or keep them short, short and bitten nails can still get a manicure. If the skin around a bitten nail is sore, swollen or broken, see a doctor before you book.
Paradise Luxe Manicure, $35
Ten dollars more, and the list grows by three items: everything in the Tropical Manicure, plus a soothing mud mask, an exfoliating scrub and a paraffin treatment to lock in moisture.
The menu describes the paraffin treatment as locking in moisture. If the skin on your hands is broken or irritated, ask when you book whether paraffin is right for you that day.
Pick what your hands need first. The polish color is the easy decision after that.
Book Paradise Luxe when dryness is the main reason you are booking.
Aloha Glow, $45
The top tier, and it builds on the same Tropical base with its own extras: everything in the Tropical Manicure, plus a mud mask, a scrub, a hot stone massage, collagen gloves and a steamer for silky-soft hands.
The menu describes the Aloha Glow as aimed at silky-soft hands, which is why the mud mask, scrub, hot stone massage, collagen gloves and steamer all sit together on this tier.
Where Gel Polish Fits
Each of the four spa pedicures lists No-Chip Gel Polish as a +$15 add-on. The manicures list “your choice of polish,” with no gel line or price. The manicures list regular polish only; no-chip gel is a pedicure add-on.
In general, gel polish cures under a UV or LED lamp, which is why it tends to resist chipping longer than a regular polish that air-dries on its own. That same curing step is why removing gel calls for a proper soak-off once it is time for a new color. The lamp question has its own post: is the UV lamp used for gel polish bad for my skin.
Choosing A Tier For A South Jordan Winter
The Salt Lake Valley sits at high elevation and stays dry most of the year, and winter makes it harder once the furnace starts running. Indoor heating lowers the humidity inside a house, and drier air pulls moisture from skin. Hands, washed often and out in the cold, feel it first. We went through the full picture in winter skin and nails in Utah.
In a dry winter, compare the two upper tiers: Paradise Luxe for the paraffin, Aloha Glow for the hot stone massage and steamer.
How To Choose In About Ten Seconds
Three questions. One answer each.
Are your hands just due for tidying and color? Tropical Manicure, $25.
Do your hands feel dry and you want paraffin? Paradise Luxe, $35, for the scrub and the paraffin.
Do you want a hot stone massage and a steamer? Aloha Glow, $45, which also adds collagen gloves.
Whichever tier you land on, the same choice of polish comes with it, and the manicures list regular polish only. For the pedicure side of the same math, with its own price ladder, see which spa pedicure to book.
Regular polish is all these three manicures list, but gel does appear on the Kids Menu: Gel Hands at $15 as an add-on and a $25 Gel Petite Luxe Mani, $10 above the plain Petite Luxe Mani. A breakdown of the gel lines shows which route costs less.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the real difference between the three manicures?
Tropical at $25 includes cuticle grooming, nail shaping, a hand massage with a hot towel wrap and your choice of polish. Paradise Luxe at $35 adds a mud mask, a scrub and paraffin. Aloha Glow at $45 adds a mud mask, a scrub, a hot stone massage, collagen gloves and a steamer, with no paraffin listed. Both upper tiers build on the Tropical base, adding different extras.
Can I add gel polish to a manicure?
No. The manicures list regular polish only, with no gel line or price. No-chip gel is a $15 add-on on the four spa pedicures.
Which manicure is best for dry winter hands?
Paradise Luxe at $35 or Aloha Glow at $45. Both include a mud mask and a scrub. Paradise Luxe adds a paraffin treatment, and Aloha Glow adds a hot stone massage, collagen gloves and a steamer. Tropical at $25 is fine for hands that just need tidying and color.
Should I skip paraffin if I have a cut or irritated skin?
Ask when you book whether the paraffin step is right for you that day. If the skin around a nail is painful, swollen or looks infected, see a doctor first.
Can I get a manicure if I keep my nails short or bite them?
A manicure can usually shape and polish short nails. If yours are bitten down, ask when you book. If the skin around a bitten nail is sore or broken, see a doctor first.
What happens if my polish chips a few days later?
