Ask how many seconds each layer cures. Most LED lamps require different times for different gel types. Rushing the cure cycle results in gummy nails that are soft to the touch. Proper curing hardens the structure, preventing cracking and warping during daily use.
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.
A good application uses primer, dehydrator, and bonding agent. Primer removes oils to help the glue stick. Dehydrator dries the nail plate completely. Bonding agent creates a stable bridge between nail and extension. Missing steps cause immediate peeling. Watch them apply thin layers. Thick blobs of product will never cure properly and remain sticky for years.
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.
Observe the sanding block grit used. Technicians should start with coarser grits for bulk reduction and finish with finer grits for smoothness. Using only coarse files damages the free edge and causes rapid chipping. Proper filing texture ensures the polymer bonds correctly without lifting.
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.
Decide on the length before starting. Short sets look clean but hide less of your natural nail. Long tips add shape but risk breaking easily. Ask for a fan size that matches your nail bed. A width mismatch causes lift at the cuticle. Measure with a ruler if you are unsure. Proper alignment prevents stress points that lead to early failure.
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.
Wear gloves when using cleaning products. Chemicals strip the bond between layers. Moisturize cuticles daily with oil. Dry cuticles lead to lifting. Avoid hot water soaking for long periods. Heat softens the gel and acrylic materials. Use a dry brush to clean debris. Gentle cleaning prevents buildup that forces you to remove the set early.
Turn your hands over to inspect the cuticle area. Over-cutting exposes the live skin beneath, causing pain and infection risks. The technician should only remove dead skin. Ask if they use fine, non-metallic nippers designed specifically for delicate cuticle removal to prevent trauma.
