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.
Remove old product before the appointment. Do not buff rough spots yourself beforehand. Mention any recent chemical exposures. Clean nails under warm water for 5 minutes prior. Dry thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Weak, peeling nails may require repair treatments first, adding time and cost.
Lifting happens when product separates from the natural nail plate. This usually comes from prepping errors. If skin oils remain, the gel cannot bond. Check if they buff the surface lightly but not deeply. Over-buffing thins the nail dangerously. Ask how they handle lifting during a fill. They must cut out the loose part and rebuild it. Ignoring a lifted edge leads to total breakage under the stress of daily hand use and washing.
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.
Start by browsing profiles with verified client galleries. Look for consistency in 20 recent photos. Check if the artist shows before and after shots. Read reviews mentioning hygiene and pricing clarity. Ask if they offer home visits or require salon presence. Note response time to initial contact requests.
Freehand art requires thin, even layers to prevent cracking. Painters use dotting tools, skinny liners, and stencils for precision. Intricate patterns take 10 to 15 minutes per hand, plus drying time. Ask if they use a top coat that seals the art before moving the next digit. Thick layers of colored gel shrink and crack during curing. Thin, multiple layers ensure durability and a smooth finish that withstands daily hand washing and typing.
Disclose eczema, allergies, or fungal infections immediately. Bring prescription proof if needed. Ask if latex gloves are available for prone fingers. Request alternative top coats if sensitive to certain resins. Document any pain or redness during the process. Stop application if burning sensations occur.
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.
Inspect each nail under bright daylight before leaving. Check for bubbles, uneven edges, or lifting at the cuticle. Test flexibility by gently pressing the tip. Ensure no product overlaps onto skin. Request immediate fixes for minor imperfections. Agree on a 24-hour window for complaints before paying in full.
Simple French manicures take 30 to 45 minutes. Complex chrome or 3D designs require 90 to 120 minutes. Book specific slots to avoid waits. Confirm arrival time for home services. Late changes may incur cancellation fees of 25% of total cost. Always verify deposit policies upfront.
