"Count Down To Prom" The Perfect Accessory for Your Big Night


Manicures and pedicures for prom

Perfectly manicured hands are the perfect accessory for Prom! Nothing will have your hands looking better than a Le Petit Spa manicure treatment.

A sea salt lavender scrub, a relaxing lavender treatment massage and all the grooming to get your hands in perfect shape for your big day.

For a classic manicure look, try a French Manicure. These manicures feature white tips and a sheer color of either pink or a natural nude tone.

Did you know? Brittle, peeling or splitting nails can be a sign of a vitamin or mineral deficiency? At no time in our lives is eating a healthy diet more important that in our teen years. Our bodies change so much in these years that getting the right vitamins and minerals in your diet is a crucial element to developing and growing properly.

New at Le Petit Spa this spring Bio Sculpture gel nails. The safest gel nails system in the world and the first to receive a five star safety rating because of the lack of chemical fumes, odour and dust, and they are a nail strengthening treatment for your natural nails underneath!

These gel nails come in 65 different colors, as well as French Manicure looks. They will not smear, smudge or chip and they can be applied on both hands and feet and last for weeks! For no fuse prom hands and feet, Le Petit Spa’s new gel nail service is the way to go!

Did you know? As we grow older, the sweat glands in our feet start to dry up? This is why, especially in the winter, your feet and skin may feel a little dryer than in the summer. A pedicure service by a professional allows you to keep tabs on your feet and make sure everything is normal.

Teens commonly pick up warts and/ or fungus on their feet and can’t figure out why. Some causes of these foot ailments:


  • Walking barefoot at the pool or school gym - warts drop “roots” that can be picked up by feet by simply stepping in the wrong spot.

  • Nail fungus - these develop by an excess of moisture, getting bacteria trapped under the nail, and too long of toe nails BUT these can also develop by cutting the nail too short. The nail is protection for your toes; cutting them too short leaves the door wide open for bacteria and types of fungi to enter your toe area.

A Le Petit Spa pedicure treatment is a professional way to learn how to properly maintain your toe nails and feet so that you can properly care for them at home.

Pedicures at Le Petit Spa came in an array of unique colors, but if you’re really looking for something different try a Le Petit Spa Nail Art Pedicure. Featuring unique designs specifically for you and your toes, a Nail Art pedicure is the only accessory you need for prom!


Le Petit Spa offers a student discount for all Spa services for Teens at Le Petit Spa.
