Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!If you want your nails to last well between appointments it’s really important to follow all the aftercare given. It will make a big difference!
Your nails are most vulnerable in the first 48 hours after application
Your nail enhancement is hard but it’s still curing and bonding so take extra care for the first couple of days
Avoid prolonged contact with water
Long baths, hot tubs, swimming. If you do need to soak try keeping your nails out of the water. Avoid altogether in the hours before your appointment and for 24 hours after
Protect your beautiful nails from ANY chemicals
When cleaning or washing up always wear gloves.
Always wash your hands after contact with chlorine, insect repellent, cleaning products, sun cream and Lanolin, follow up with a good hand cream
Gardening
Dirt ruins the shine, gets trapped making them look grim and lifts the product off your nail ruining what you just paid for; always wear gardening gloves!
Don’t pick, bite or peel your nails
Doing any of these will remove layers of your own nail that will then leave them flimsy, weak and even sore and take weeks or months to grow out…just not worth it..
If you want your nails removing have them removed properly in salon
Don’t use your nails as tools
They’re built strong but not that strong! Lifting ring pulls, peeling stickers, pulling wet washing out the machine etc, they will all put stress on your nail and cause breakdown. Remember, your nails are jewels not tools
Avoid filing or cutting your nails between appointments
It can cause lifting and let water or dirt under your gel or acrylics. Don’t stick lifted nails back down with glue, you could be trapping dirt and bacteria in there. Book a repair appointment in salon
Apply cuticle oil at least twice a day
Apply all around your nail including the underneath. It’s not a gimmick…there are lots of benefits including promoting healthy nail growth, hydrates the skin, improves nail flexibility and it helps prolong your nail enhancements. Oil is that important it’s always available to buy in salon
Keep regular maintenance appointments
All nail services should be maintained at 2-3 week intervals, going longer is not recommended by gel and acrylic manufacturers, we need to see everything is ok regularly
Stay well hydrated
Dehydrated nails will eventually curl away from your acrylic/gel causing splits, breaks and lifting. Drink plenty of water to avoid breakdown
Dear Clients,
To make sure those who would like an appointment can be offered one all appointments require a minimum booking fee of £10 depending on service booked and length of appointment. This is to be paid within 24 hours of booking or the appointment may be given without notice to someone else.
48 hours notice is required to change the day of an appointment, if it’s less the booking fee is forfeit and a new booking fee must be paid to secure your next appointment.
It can be very difficult to fill late gaps as someone waiting for an appointment still requires some notice and their service has to fit into the time that was allotted to you.
48 hours notice is required to change/reduce/increase the service booked, i.e. if appointment booked is for soak off and full set of acrylics but service required is changed to infills, if less than 48 hours notice is given the longer service charge will still apply.
Please arrive on time for your appointment; I know arriving early can’t always be helped but remember I work from my home so arriving very early may not be convenient.
Arriving late may mean we have to do a shorter service.
Over 15 minutes late, unfortunately I may not have time to carry out a service and the booking fee will be forfeit.
If you don’t show up for an appointment your booking fee is forfeit.
If you regularly rearrange appointments with the minimum notice time or do not show you may be refused another appointment.
I understand that sometimes there are difficulties and sudden challenges which can make keeping to scheduled appointments harder, however, unexpected changes or hours not working adds up to a substantial loss at the end of a month which would eventually make the business unsustainable. Thank you to all who are always considerate of my time it is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your understanding and continued custom.
