before and aftercare

Oil and moisturise your hands and cuticles leading up to your appointment.
Avoid these oils day of your appointment as it can effect adhesion.
Avoid picking / biting your skin and nails.

Use a hand and body scrub 1-3 times a week (depending on your skin type) and the night before your appointment to help exfoliate the dry and dead skin.
Arrive with clean nails and hands
-
Apply cuticle oil and hand cream daily to keep nails hydrated. Our cuticle oil also helps promote healthy nail growth and strength. We recommend after every hand wash or at least morning and night. Cuticle oil and hand cream available to purchase in the salon!
Wear gloves when cleaning or washing dishes to protect from harsh chemicals and water.
Avoid having your nails in water for long periods. (swimming, bath, sauna, washing dishes with no gloves) Nails are made of keratin, a protein that absorbs and releases water meaning they dry, they shrink back down. This constant expanding and contracting makes the nail plate softer, weaker when wet, which then can make the nail peel away from the product or cause the natural nail to weaken.
Avoid using your nails as tools. No picking, peeling stickers / labels. Opening cans. Pressing buttons, using the tip of your nails for seatbelt and toilet button ect. Scratching scraping food off dishes, dirt.
Book your infills/maintenance every 3-4 weeks or before lifting occurs, for the best results!
