Aftercare

💅 First 24–48 Hours✨️

Avoid excessive water (long baths, hot tubs, saunas)

Be gentle—your nails are still settling into shape and strength

🧴 Daily Care

Apply cuticle oil 1–2 times daily to keep nails hydrated and prevent lifting

Use hand cream regularly (especially after washing hands)

Wear gloves when cleaning or using chemicals

🚫 What to Avoid

Don’t use nails as tools (opening cans, scratching, picking)

Avoid biting or picking at your extensions

Don’t pull off lifted nails — this can damage your natural nail

🔧 Maintenance

Book infills every 2–3 weeks to maintain structure and prevent lifting

If you notice lifting, cracks, or breakage—contact your nail tech ASAP

💧 Water & Heat

Limit prolonged exposure to water (can weaken adhesion)

Avoid extreme heat (like ovens or steam) without protection

🛠️ Removal

Always get extensions professionally removed

Never soak or rip them off yourself

⚠️ When to Seek Help

Pain, redness, or swelling

Significant lifting or green spots (possible infection)

💖 Pro Tip for Clients
