Classic manicures start at \u20ac12 (Quick manicure), gel manicures start at \u20ac23, classic pedicures start at \u20ac28, and gel pedicures start at \u20ac35.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Viru+v\u00e4ljak+4\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x469293605c3866bf:0x1a19e7a0761d40b1\" target=\"_blank\">i3 Viru Ilusalong <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Viru+v\u00e4ljak+4\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x469293605c3866bf:0x1a19e7a0761d40b1\" target=\"_blank\">Sokos\u00a0Viru Hotel 3rd floor<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Viru+v\u00e4ljak+4\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x469293605c3866bf:0x1a19e7a0761d40b1\" target=\"_blank\">Viru v\u00e4ljak 4 Tallinn.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Viru+v\u00e4ljak+4\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x469293605c3866bf:0x1a19e7a0761d40b1\" target=\"_blank\">Check on the map<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The i3 Viru Ilusalong inside the Viru Hotel offers a pedicure for problematic feet. While a little bit more expensive then the rest (\u20ac55, 1.5 hours), if you have dry or cracked skin, ingrown nails, calluses, or warts, this is the pedicure for you. It\u2019s a great way to get your feet back in shape before the summer season. \u201cIt is important that people not feel embarrassed to come in,\u201d says Marge, pedicure technician, after telling me about a woman that had trimmed her toenails before coming to the salon. \u201cWhen you come in, we treat your problems, and tell you how to care for your feet at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Liivalaia+40\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x469294a0c2ee7459:0xfff13f8d90a2c23b\" target=\"_blank\">\u25a0 Ilusalong Gersi Stiilistuudio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Liivalaia+40\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x469294a0c2ee7459:0xfff13f8d90a2c23b\" target=\"_blank\">Liivalaia 40, Tallinn.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.ee\/maps\/place\/Liivalaia+40\/@59.4365315,24.7549409,17z\/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x469294a0c2ee7459:0xfff13f8d90a2c23b\" target=\"_blank\">Check on the map<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Gersi Stiilistuudio also offers manicures and pedicures. Gel nails have grown in popularity over the past few years because of their durability. At Gersi, they use Bio Sculpture Gel, a gel that has been tried, tested, and voted at the top of its category in magazines like Scratch. Bio Sculpture Gel contains the same vitamins and minerals found in your nails. Instead of simply putting a layer of polish on your nail that will inevitably scratch and chip with daily activity, Bio Sculpture Gel moves with your nail, meaning that it will stay on your nail longer.
