Gel systems cure under UV or LED light and feel flexible. Acrylics harden chemically and create a rigid shell. Gel is thinner and often looks more natural. Acrylic is stronger for very short bites or damaged nails. Ask which product line they use. Some cheap gels peel in one piece rather than wearing down smoothly. This affects how long your design lasts before needing a refill or full removal.
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.
Removing gel art requires acetone soaks, which smell strong and dry out skin. Ask if they provide cotton clips or foil wraps to contain fumes. Some technicians open jars repeatedly, increasing air exposure. This can irritate sensitive eyes and respiratory systems. If you have allergies, request low-fume alternatives or open air ventilation. Discuss this before they start removing your old polish. Do not wait until the jar is already stuck to your nails.
Hard acrylic offers rigid protection but requires filing every 3 weeks. Soft gel looks natural and bends more easily. Fiber reinforcement adds strength for thin nails. Dip powder creates a matte finish without UV lamps. Each method lasts 3 to 4 weeks before lifting starts. Choose based on desired look and durability needs.
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.
Mention if you want a seasonal refresh every 3 months. Ask for a 5% discount on full sets with next appointment scheduled. Inquire about loyalty points for regular clients. Check if tip money goes directly to the artist or is pooled. Get written confirmation of final total before any product touches your skin.
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.
Decide how long you want your nails before the appointment. Short styles usually involve 3 mm to 5 mm of free edge. Longer styles require extensions using tips or sculpting forms. Ask if the master shapes the natural nail or only adds material. Over-filing weakens the plate. Confirm the exact length in millimeters to avoid disappointment or breakage during the first 24 hours at home.
Bring 3 reference images before the session. Discuss color codes accurately, like OPI shade names. Agree on sticker quality if using transfers. Request a sketch for intricate hand-painted work. Clarify which hands or feet are included. Adjust expectations based on natural nail shape limitations.
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.
