Have you tried the Axxium manicure by OPI yet? Michael's first introduced this non-chip manicure to the Dayton area about a year ago. Through the month of September, we are offering a special price so you can try this revolutionary manicure!

Cherice, Alana, Samantha and Jenny have all been trained on the Axxium process.

Have you tried Axxium yet? How did you like this manicure?

We've had a lot of questions from clients asking about Axxium manicures. We have written blogs about it, but we thought the best way to explain it would be to show you in a video!

Here is a video featuring Samantha, one of our newest nail technicians, demonstrating the Axxium manicure:


Some key points from the video:

• Plan an hour for this manicure - the process is the same as our regular half-hour manicure, but the polish application takes extra time
• Each coat of polish is cured under a UV light - drying the polish instantly
• At present, Michael's has 14 colors to choose from for an Axxium manicure, as the service becomes more popular, we (and OPI) keep adding more
• Removal of the Axxium gel lacquer polish doesn't damage your nails like other nail enhancements
• Axxium is available for pedicures also!

At Michael’s Salon and Spa, we are so proud of Jeff, Kristi & Dave that we wanted to offer our services to them so they would look awesome for their big TV appearance. Kristi took us up on our offer and enjoyed a fun day of getting pretty. She started her visit at Michael’s in the spa. After picking the perfect shade of red for her finger and toes, she enjoyed a relaxing manicure and pedicure with nail technician Samantha Schuh. Next, she was off to meet with hair designer Abby Norbeck for color, cut and style. Abby worked with Kristi to select a hair color that work well with her skin tone and eyes. She then cut and styled Kristi’s hair in long layers to add texture and volume. Kristi loved her new do and looks amazing!

Check out the photos of Kristi and her day at Michael’s Salon and Spa.
