Show them your tools before they begin. Files should be single-use or sterilized. Nail clippers must be wrapped in plastic. Surface cleaners are not enough for viral protection. Ask if they autoclave metal tools at high heat. Proper hygiene prevents fungal infections. It also reduces the risk of bacterial complications under the extension layer. Clean hands protect your skin health.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ask if they use acrylic or gel. Acrylic is harder and lasts longer but smells strong. Gel is lighter and dries under a UV lamp. Gel extensions feel more natural but require specific lamps. Never mix materials without checking for chip resistance. The chemical composition affects how long the tips stay attached to your natural nail plate during daily wear.
Ensure the room has active exhaust fans running during service. Solvent vapors from removers or gels can irritate the respiratory system. Poor ventilation indicates sloppy hygiene practices. A professional studio should maintain negative pressure to keep air fresh and safe for everyone present.
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.
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.
