Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning. Reapply cuticle oil 2 times a day for 7 days. Avoid picking lifted edges. Book the next visit every 2 to 3 weeks for gel, every 4 weeks for classic polish. Soak off gel only with acetone, never peel it, to keep the nail plate under 0.5 mm thick.
The pro should carry a sterilized metal file, a cuticle pusher, nippers, a buffer block, bowls for soaking, and a portable LED lamp for gel. Files and buffers are single-use. Reusable metal tools must arrive in an autoclave bag that is opened in front of you.
The most common issue is lifting gel within 3 days, caused by oily nail plates or thick application. Bleeding cuticles happen when nippers are dull. White spots appear when nails stay wet too long. If polish chips within 24 hours, the base coat was likely skipped.
Wear gloves for dishes and cleaning for at least 24 hours after gel. Apply cuticle oil every night for 7 days. Do not use nails as tools to open cans or peel stickers. Book a removal every 14 to 21 days to keep the nail plate healthy.
A full kit should include a 180-grit file, a 240-grit buffer, cuticle nippers, a metal pusher, nippers, a UV or LED lamp, acetone, lint-free wipes, and disposable buffers. Files and buffers must be single-use. Padded mats or armrests are optional but reduce smudges during the first 10 minutes of drying.
Peeling within 3 days points to poor nail prep or oily residue. Bubbles in gel mean the polish was applied too thick or the lamp was underpowered. White spots often signal dehydration, not calcium loss. Burning under the lamp signals an incompatible gel formula or a curing time above 60 seconds per coat.
A standard manicure includes nail shaping, cuticle work, hand soaking, cuticle removal, and polish application. Some pros add a short hand massage with cream or oil. Ask if hard gel or acrylics are part of the price or counted separately before booking.
Ask if they are licensed in your area, which products they use, and whether tools are autoclaved or single-use. Confirm whether gel removal is included in future visits or billed as an extra service. Request the exact travel fee for your address.
Prices vary by technique, nail condition, and add-ons. Gel costs about 30% to 50% more than classic polish. French tips, chrome powder, or hand-painted art add time, so each nail art design can raise the total by 15% to 25%. Travel distance matters.
A standard manicure covers 6 steps: shaping the free edge, softening cuticles, pushing back excess skin, trimming hangnails, buffing the surface, and hydrating with cuticle oil. Ask whether cuticle nippers are used or only gel removers. Nippers require more precision and raise the risk of micro-cuts if your skin is sensitive.
