Some Beverly Hills Manicures may also include additional treatments such as paraffin wax dips, hot stone massages, or specialized masks.
The key difference between a standard manicure and a Beverly Hills Manicure is the level of pampering and attention to detail. It's a more indulgent experience that focuses on both the aesthetic appearance of the nails and the overall health and well-being of the hands.
