Nail Appointment Care Guide💗
Nail Appointment Care Guide
Pre-Appointment Preparation
• Come with clean, product-free nails - Remove all polish, gel, or enhancements at least 24 hours before your appointment
• Avoid oils and moisturisers on nails and cuticles - Skip hand cream, cuticle oil, or any oily products on the day of your appointment as they prevent proper adhesion
• Ensure previous enhancements are removed properly - If you have existing gel or acrylics, have them soaked off carefully rather than picked or peeled to avoid nail damage
• Keep nails dry for 2-3 hours beforehand - Avoid soaking hands in water (swimming, long baths, washing up) as wet nails won’t bond well with products
• Don’t cut or push back cuticles yourself - Leave cuticle work to your nail technician to avoid damaging the nail bed or causing infections

Post-Appointment Aftercare
• Avoid hot water and steam for 24 hours - Skip hot baths, saunas, or dishwashing without gloves heat & moisture can cause lifting
• Wear gloves for household tasks - Protect your nails from harsh chemicals, prolonged water exposure, and impacts during cleaning
• Apply cuticle oil daily - Keep cuticles and surrounding skin hydrated to prevent lifting and promote healthy nail growth
• Don’t use nails as tools - Avoid opening cans, scratching, or picking at things to prevent chips, breaks, and lifting
• Book infills on time - Schedule maintenance every 2-3 weeks(gel polish)/3-4 weeks (extensions) to prevent overgrowth, lifting, and potential nail damage

Cuticle Oil Benefits
• Prevents lifting and extends wear - Well-hydrated cuticles create a better seal around the enhancement, reducing gaps where water and dirt can enter
• Promotes healthy nail growth - Nourishes the nail matrix (growth area) encouraging stronger, faster-growing natural nails
• Maintains flexibility - Keeps enhancements supple and less prone to cracking or breaking, especially important for gel and builder gel treatments
• Improves appearance - Keeps cuticles looking neat and prevents dry, ragged skin that detracts from your beautiful nail art
• Protects natural nails - Creates a barrier against environmental damage and helps repair any dehydration caused by enhancement products
• Best applied twice daily - Morning and evening application (especially before bed) gives optimal results for both nail health and enhancement longevity
