Ask how they remove previous sets if you are switching providers. Soaking is safer than aggressive filing, which thins the natural nail repeatedly. Inquire about the soaking duration required. Proper removal preserves your natural nail thickness, preventing long-term fragility and damage from repeated salon visits.
Do not use your nails as tools. Leaning on them causes immediate cracks. Avoid peeling the product. Peeling takes layers of your natural nail with it. This weakens the nail plate permanently. Use a proper file if a chip appears. Gentle filing smooths the edge. Aggressive filing generates heat and thins the nail thin. Careful maintenance extends the lifespan of your extensions significantly.
Look at the side profile of the finished nail. Uneven thickness creates weak spots prone to snapping. The gel should be thin at the tip and thicker at the base for optimal strength. Digital calipers are not used, but visual consistency confirms competent application technique and balanced structural integrity.
Prices vary by complexity. Simple almond shapes cost less than intricate designs. Decals and hand-painted art add time and labor. Ask if the quote includes a top coat. Top coats add shine and protection. Infill services cost less than full sets. They only need re-bonding at the cuticle. New clients pay more for full length application.
Ask if the gels contain HEMA or formaldehyde, common sensitizers. Some clients react to these chemicals, developing itchy rashes days after service. A reputable technician can offer hypoallergenic alternatives upon request. Knowing your skin sensitivity beforehand prevents painful post-service complications and discomfort.
Some extensions come with a builder gel base. This base applies directly to the natural nail. It provides strength without adding bulk. These sets last 4 to 6 weeks. Standard tips add length and shape. Builder gel looks thinner but feels lighter. Choose based on your comfort level. Thinner sets are better for office workers who need subtle looks.
Inspect the lateral walls where the gel meets the skin. White lines indicate lifting, meaning the product did not adhere properly to the side of the nail. Lifting traps moisture, creating an optimal environment for bacterial growth and potential infection under the artificial tip.
The free edge is the most fragile part. It absorbs water and expands daily. This expansion weakens the bond over time. Cracks start at the tips most often. If a tip cracks, repair it quickly. Do not let water soak into the break. Moisture causes the gel to turn grey and detach. Keep your nails dry when washing dishes to extend the life of the set.
Look at the tip shape construction. The apex should sit slightly past the natural fingertip for strength. If placed directly over the nail end, it becomes a leverage point for easy breaking. Proper apex placement distributes stress evenly across the entire extension length.
Gel nails need 30 to 60 seconds per layer under a lamp. Acrylic hardens on its own within 5 minutes. Rushing the cure leaves the material soft and tacky. Soft layers break apart easily during normal hand movements. Ask how long they leave each layer to set. Proper curing ensures durability. It prevents the extensions from warping or shrinking against the natural nail.
