While there isn't a universally accepted, distinct name for a manicure specifically designed for men, it's often referred to by names that emphasize functionality and simplicity.
Instead of using overly feminine terms, salons and spas may opt for names like:
- Hand Repair Service: This term focuses on the practical aspects of nail and hand care, such as cuticle cleaning, nail trimming, and filing. This is a popular, more masculine alternative, as highlighted in the provided references.
Other possible names or descriptions include:
- Executive Manicure: Suggesting a professional and polished appearance.
- Men's Manicure: Simple and direct.
- Grooming Manicure: Emphasizing overall male grooming.
- Maintenance Manicure: Highlighting the upkeep and care aspect.
- Simply Manicure: Increasingly, men are comfortable with the term "manicure" without a modifier.
Ultimately, the name is less important than the service provided. A good "male manicure" will focus on clean, healthy nails and hands, without necessarily including polish or other traditionally feminine elements.
