Remove old product before the appointment. Do not buff rough spots yourself beforehand. Mention any recent chemical exposures. Clean nails under warm water for 5 minutes prior. Dry thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Weak, peeling nails may require repair treatments first, adding time and cost.
Start by browsing profiles with verified client galleries. Look for consistency in 20 recent photos. Check if the artist shows before and after shots. Read reviews mentioning hygiene and pricing clarity. Ask if they offer home visits or require salon presence. Note response time to initial contact requests.
Curing time depends on lamp wattage and product depth. Ask about their lamp specs. Weak lamps under-cure gel, leaving it sticky and soft. Over-curing burns the nail bed. You will feel heat or pain while they work. Pain is a stop signal. If your nails burn, demand they lower the intensity or switch lamps. Burnt nails are sensitive for days. Do not tolerate pain as part of the normal professional process.
Choose between matte and glossy finishes before starting. Matte top coats look velvety but show fingerprints and smudges easily. Glossy finishes reflect light and hide minor limescale. Ask if the top coat handles touch-dry time properly. Some cheaper brands remain tacky for 30 minutes. This means you risk smearing your new art on your clothes, steering wheel, or phone screen immediately after leaving the salon. Plan your day accordingly.
Ask how tools are sterilized between clients. You need autoclave logs, not just alcohol wipes. Metal files and clippers must be heat-sterilized. Single-use items like sponges and wooden sticks are thrown away. If they reuse anything without proof of deep cleaning, walk away. Fungal infections from shared tools are common and painful to treat later, so verify the process strictly.
UV lamps cure gel in 60 seconds. LED lamps take 30 seconds but emit less heat. Blue light activates photoinitiators in the polish. Ask if the artist uses quality lamps to prevent under-curing. Under-cured gel peels off easily. Proper curing ensures firm adhesion and prevents bacterial trapping under the nail plate.
Base gels cost less than extended length extensions. Art prices vary per hand. Hand-painted designs charge 15 to 30 dollars extra per nail. Stickers add 5 to 10 dollars. Travel fees apply for distances over 15 miles. Ask for an itemized quote showing labor, products, and added services separately.
Some professionals offer home visits, but their portable setup may lack power. Lamps need stable voltage. Compressors for air brush art require generators. Ask about their backup power plans. Inconsistent curing power leads to soft spots. Do not assume a home setup equals a studio setup. Check their equipment age. Old lamps degrade quickly and fail to cure thick layers, leaving your new nail art vulnerable to chipping and peeling within days.
Lifting happens when product separates from the natural nail plate. This usually comes from prepping errors. If skin oils remain, the gel cannot bond. Check if they buff the surface lightly but not deeply. Over-buffing thins the nail dangerously. Ask how they handle lifting during a fill. They must cut out the loose part and rebuild it. Ignoring a lifted edge leads to total breakage under the stress of daily hand use and washing.
Freehand art requires thin, even layers to prevent cracking. Painters use dotting tools, skinny liners, and stencils for precision. Intricate patterns take 10 to 15 minutes per hand, plus drying time. Ask if they use a top coat that seals the art before moving the next digit. Thick layers of colored gel shrink and crack during curing. Thin, multiple layers ensure durability and a smooth finish that withstands daily hand washing and typing.
