In short. Classic polish or semi-permanent: the right choice depends on what you want from your hands and feet. On Adom (adom.ma) and the AdomApp app (adomapp.com), you describe your manicure and pedicure in Kenitra, professionals put in touch with you reply, and you pay after the service.
Four terms to find your way
- Classic polish: a colour that goes on and comes off simply, with remover. It suits anyone who likes to change shade often.
- Semi-permanent: a finish designed to last longer than classic polish. It is taken off with a suitable product, ideally by a professional, rather than by scraping.
- Removal (dépose): taking semi-permanent off cleanly. If you want an old one removed, say so when you ask.
- Care: looking after hands or feet before the colour, for clean, neat nails. It is wellbeing and appearance, not a medical act.
An imagined case: Sanaa before a wedding
Sanaa is an invented character for this guide. She lives in Kenitra and will soon attend a cousin's wedding. She would like neat nails for the day but hesitates: she likes changing colour, and she knows she will have little time to touch them up then.
She asks herself three questions. Does she like the colour enough to keep it? Will she get a chance to touch it up? Is she comfortable with a finish that lasts? If she changes her mind often, classic polish suits her better. If she wants it to stay longer and fewer touch-ups during the party, she will go for semi-permanent and ask for removal when the time comes.
How Sanaa words her request
On the booking page for manicure and pedicure, she writes: "Hands and feet, for a wedding. I would pick a discreet-colour semi-permanent, with removal planned later." She adds her address, the floor and the room where the professional can set up.
If she has a damaged nail, sensitive skin or a known allergy, she writes that too, so the person can adapt their products. Professionals put in touch with her reply. Adom connects you and does not employ anyone, so Sanaa compares, asks a question about the finish, then chooses.
What the professional may suggest
Once there, the professional looks at the state of the nails and says what suits the chosen finish. Sanaa can change her mind: classic polish for the feet, semi-permanent for the hands, say. The price is a personalised, free quote on AdomApp, and she pays after the service.
And Kenitra in all this?
Kenitra is part of the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region, with daily trips to Rabat. That does not steer the choice of polish. It comes down to the occasion, the look you want and what you are comfortable wearing.
