In-room service · Cartagena de Indias

Manicure at Your Hotel in Cartagena

You booked a beautiful hotel in Cartagena. Spending ninety minutes of your stay travelling to a nail salon and back makes very little sense. We bring a complete, professional nail studio to your room, suite or hotel terrace — with the same standards you would expect from a high-end studio in London, Miami or Paris.

How in-room manicure service works

You send the booking form with your hotel name, room number and preferred time slot. We confirm availability and the exact price by WhatsApp, then arrive ten minutes before the appointment to set up. Our technician announces herself at reception, follows the hotel's internal access protocol and carries everything in a discreet professional case — no trolleys, no noise, no disruption to other guests.

Setup takes five minutes: a folding professional table, a dedicated LED lamp, a disposable table cover and sealed sterilised instruments. We do not need a salon environment, only a chair and a nearby power outlet. Everything is packed away at the end and the room is left exactly as we found it.

If your hotel has a spa policy that restricts external providers, tell us in the form. In most properties we operate without any issue, and where a property requires prior notice we handle that conversation for you.

Services available in your room

The full menu travels with us. Classic manicure with long-wear traditional polish, Russian dry manicure for the cleanest possible cuticle line, gel polish for two to three weeks of flawless colour, BIAB to strengthen natural nails while they grow, bespoke nail art, and a complete spa pedicure.

For guests arriving with existing gel or acrylic from home, we offer safe removal using controlled filing and foil-wrapped acetone. We never pry or peel product off — that is what leaves nails thin and sensitive for months afterwards.

Most guests book a combined manicure and pedicure in a single visit. It is the most efficient option: one appointment, one setup, and hands and feet finished in the same tone.

Hygiene standards that match five-star expectations

Hotel guests are, understandably, the most demanding clients on hygiene — you are in an unfamiliar city, receiving a service in your own room, and you cannot inspect a salon's back office. So we bring the back office to you, visibly.

Metal instruments are washed, disinfected in hospital-grade solution and autoclave-sterilised between clients, then sealed in individual pouches that we open in front of you. Files, buffers, orange sticks and towels are single-use or discarded after the appointment. Drill bits go through the same autoclave cycle as metal tools.

We also wear masks when working with gel dust, change gloves between clients and cover the working surface with a disposable sheet. If you would like to see how a specific tool was processed, simply ask.

Hotels and areas we serve in Cartagena

We cover the entire city and its surroundings, including the Walled City and Getsemaní boutique hotels, the beachfront towers of Bocagrande, Castillogrande and El Laguito, and the resort corridor along the Zona Norte, La Boquilla, Serena del Mar and Barú.

There is no minimum stay requirement and no need to be a long-stay guest. Whether you are in Cartagena for two nights before a cruise or for a full month of remote work, the service is the same.

Perfect for weddings, events and business travel

Cartagena is one of Latin America's leading destination-wedding cities, and hotel-room appointments are the natural fit for a wedding morning. We can send multiple technicians so a bride and her party are finished at the same time, coordinated in colour and style, without anyone leaving the property.

For business travellers, evening slots are the most requested. We work until 21:00 every day, which means you can close your laptop at seven and be finished before dinner in the Old Town.

Booking your in-room manicure

Fill in the form with your name, phone number, hotel and room, preferred date and time window, and the service you want. The price appears on screen before you submit, and we confirm everything in writing by WhatsApp. We operate every day from 9:00 to 21:00, including Sundays and public holidays.

During high season — December, January, Easter and long weekends — we recommend booking two to three days ahead. The rest of the year same-day appointments are usually available.

What to expect from arrival to finish

Ten minutes before the agreed time your technician arrives at the property, checks in at reception and comes up to the room. Setup takes about five minutes: the folding table goes wherever the light and the power outlet are most convenient, a disposable cover protects the surface, and the sealed instrument pouch is opened in front of you.

The appointment itself begins with a short assessment of your nails — condition of the plate, hydration of the cuticles, natural shape of the fingers — and a conversation about length, shape and finish. That two-minute exchange is what makes the result look tailored rather than generic, and it is time a busy salon rarely gives.

At the end we photograph nothing without asking, pack everything away, collect all waste and leave the room exactly as we found it. Payment is settled on the spot and the price is the one confirmed in writing beforehand, with no additions.
