Metal tools should be cleaned in disinfectant between clients or run through an autoclave. Files and buffers must be new or replaced for each visit, since reused porous tools carry bacteria. Pedicure bowls must be disinfected after every use. If you see dirty implements, leave and book elsewhere.
Gel removes with 100 percent acetone soaked in foil for 10 to 15 minutes. Acrylic needs an electric file or careful soaking, never peeling or biting off. Dip powder lifts with acetone and a coarse file. Forceful removal strips the top nail layer and causes thinning for 4 to 6 months.
Look for a portfolio with clear, recent photos taken under daylight. Ask which brands they use and check the labels are sealed, not decanted. Confirm the technician holds a current hygiene certificate. Read at least 10 reviews mentioning lifting, breakage, or allergic reactions to spot recurring problems before booking.
Gel polish should be removed by filing the top coat and soaking in acetone for 10 to 15 minutes, never picked or pried off. Acrylics need professional filing or acetone soaking to avoid damaging the natural nail. Ripping extensions off rips layers of the real nail with them.
Ask to see the technician's portfolio of recent work on real clients. Confirm the salon follows local hygiene rules and uses sterilised or single-use tools. Check that gel products are cured with a proper lamp, not air-dried. A clear price list for each service prevents surprise charges at the end.
Apply cuticle oil twice a day for 7 days after the appointment. Wear gloves for cleaning or dish washing because hot water softens the bond. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Book a fill every 14 to 21 days for gel and every 2 to 4 weeks for acrylic.
A gel manicure on natural nails lasts 14 to 21 days before visible lifting at the cuticle. Acrylic extensions last 3 to 4 weeks before a fill is needed. Dip powder holds 3 to 5 weeks with normal use. Growth rate, water exposure, and nail oil use all shorten these windows.
Wear gloves for cleaning, washing dishes, or gardening to protect the design. Apply cuticle oil once a day to keep the nail bed flexible. Avoid using nails as tools to pry or scrape. Reapply a fresh top coat every 7 to 10 days to restore shine and seal the colour.
Gel polish typically lasts 14 to 21 days without major chipping. Acrylic extensions need a fill every 2 to 3 weeks as the natural nail grows. Dip powder lasts around 21 to 28 days. Lifting, peeling, or yellowing within 1 week usually signals poor application or preparation.
Lifting within 5 days usually means the nail was not dehydrated or the product was applied too thick. Yellowing comes from UV exposure or dark pigment without a base coat. Cracking at the sidewall points to a tip pressed on too narrow. Bubbles form when the gel is cured too hot or too thick.
