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.
The technician sanitises both hands, then trims and files to the agreed shape. Cuticle work follows with nippers or a soft remover. A dehydrator and primer go on, then the chosen product in thin layers. Each layer cures or sets fully before the next, finishing with a top coat and cuticle oil.
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.
A basic gel manicure usually takes 35 to 50 minutes. An acrylic or gel extension full set takes 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed hand-painted art on every nail can add 20 to 40 minutes. Book extra time if you want both hands and feet done in one visit.
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.
Lifting at the cuticle within 3 days means the nail bed was oily or the base coat was too thin. Bubbles in gel come from applying thick coats or cold product. Cracking at the tip suggests the extension was too long for the natural nail. Yellowing often traces to low-quality top coat.
Price varies with the technician's experience, the salon's location, and the complexity of the design. Plain gel is the baseline, hand-painted art adds per nail, and 3D elements or rhinestones add more. Long extensions cost extra over short overlays. Always ask for a written quote covering the full work.
A full gel set on natural nails usually takes 45 to 75 minutes. Acrylic extensions with shaping need 90 to 120 minutes. Dip powder sits in the middle at about 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed nail art, like hand-painted patterns or small stones, adds 15 to 45 minutes per hand depending on complexity.
Metal tools should pass through a hospital-grade autoclave or be fully immersed in a registered cold sterilant for the label time, usually 20 to 30 minutes. Files and buffers must be new for each client. Disposable items like pumice sticks and toe separators are single-use only and discarded in a closed bin after.
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.
