When it comes to self-care and style, nails are more than just an accessory—they’re a reflection of personality, mood, and confidence. At Ascend Spa, we know that nail care is both an art and a wellness practice, which is why we’ve tailored our services to meet the evolving beauty trends of 2025. From bold colors to luxury treatments, this season is about blending creativity with health-focused nail care.
Whether you’re looking for manicure styles that match your personality or pedicure innovations that feel like pure indulgence, we’ll walk you through the top nail care trends for this season—and show you how our services keep you ahead of the curve.
The Rise of Statement Nail Colors in 2025
This year’s nail trends are brighter, bolder, and more personalized than ever.
Bold tones like deep emerald, sunset orange, and futuristic chrome are taking center stage, offering both classic elegance and edgy flair. Soft pastels and neutral shades still hold their place, especially for minimalists, but the trend is leaning toward individuality.
At Ascend Spa, we help you bring these seasonal nail colors to life with our Waxing & Nails services. Whether you want a sleek pastel look for everyday wear or vibrant tones for a bold statement, our manicure options make sure your nails complement your lifestyle.
Gel Nails: The Must-Have for Busy, Stylish Lives
Gel manicures and pedicures continue to dominate because of their durability, shine, and low-maintenance appeal.
This trend is perfect for professionals, travelers, and anyone who loves to keep their nails polished without constant touch-ups. Gel services also open the door to unique nail art, as designs last longer and stay chip-free.
That’s why our Gel Mani/Pedi service has become a client favorite. Stronger, longer-lasting, and with added nail protection, it aligns perfectly with today’s fast-paced lifestyles and the growing demand for practical yet stylish beauty solutions.
Luxury & Wellness Nail Care Is on the Rise
In 2025, nail care isn’t just about appearances—it’s about wellness. More people are seeking spa treatments that combine relaxation, rejuvenation, and beauty in one package.
Luxury pedicures and manicures often include exfoliation, hydration, and soothing masks that go beyond nail polish. This season, expect to see spa-inspired nail care take the spotlight, blending wellness rituals with fashion-forward beauty.
At Ascend Spa, we’ve designed our Luxury Mani/Pedi service with this exact trend in mind. It includes an Exfoliating Salt Scrub and an Enriching Antioxidizing Mask to leave your skin refreshed, nourished, and glowing—an elevated experience that matches the self-care trend this season.
Hot Stone Pedicures and the Ascension Experience
One of the biggest innovations in pedicure trends this year is the integration of therapeutic techniques into nail care. Hot stone massages, aromatherapy, and stress-relief rituals are transforming the pedicure into a full-body relaxation experience.
Our Ascension Mani/Pedi is a perfect reflection of this movement. It combines all the benefits of our luxury service with a Hot Stone Massage, offering not just beautiful nails but also deep relaxation for the body and mind. It’s a must-try for anyone who wants their nail appointment to feel like a spa retreat.
Seasonal Nail Shapes & Designs to Watch
Beyond color, nail shapes and designs are also evolving this year. Almond and coffin shapes are trending for their chic, elongated look, while square and rounded nails remain timeless. Nail art is going playful with abstract designs, floral touches, and even metallic accents.
These seasonal styles pair beautifully with our Mani/Pedi and Gel services. Whether you want a classic look or a cutting-edge design, our team helps bring your vision to life while ensuring your nails remain healthy and strong.
Why Nail Health Still Matters Most
While trends are exciting, the foundation of beautiful nails is always nail health. Overuse of harsh chemicals, lack of hydration, or neglect can lead to brittle nails and damaged cuticles.
At Ascend Spa, we prioritize nail health first. Every service, from our standard Mani/Pedi to our Ascension package, includes proper cuticle care, hydration, and gentle techniques designed to protect the integrity of your nails. Because the latest trend is only worth trying if your nails are strong enough to support it.
