Nail Care 101

Here are a few ways in which you can care for your nail enhancements to achieve the best outcome one you leave The Nail Room.

- Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails and surrounding skin hydrated. - Apply a rich hand cream to prevent dryness and peeling.

Your nails are jewels NOT tools! - DO NOT use your nails to open cans, boxes or even scratch off labels. - NEVER pick at your enhancements, this can damage your natural nail bed and lead to thinning of the nails.

- Wear gloves to protect your nails from harsh chemicals and excessive water. - Limit exposure to heat, avoid saunas, hot tubs or direct heat for at least 24 hours after you appointment. Heat can weaken the gel and lead to early lifting. - Use nail friendly products. Avoid acetone based products (unless used by professionals to remove the enhancement.) Try to use non drying soap and alcohol free sanitisers.

-Biotin, Vitamin C and Zinc help to support nail strength. - Stay hydrated to promote nail growth and resilience.

- Book a rebalance every 2-4 weeks, depending on your nail needs or treatment required. - Don’t wait too long between appointments. Overgrown enhancements can cause lifting or even nail damage.
