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.
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.
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.
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.
Look at the side profile of the finished nail. Uneven thickness creates weak spots prone to snapping. The gel should be thin at the tip and thicker at the base for optimal strength. Digital calipers are not used, but visual consistency confirms competent application technique and balanced structural integrity.
Ask if the gels contain HEMA or formaldehyde, common sensitizers. Some clients react to these chemicals, developing itchy rashes days after service. A reputable technician can offer hypoallergenic alternatives upon request. Knowing your skin sensitivity beforehand prevents painful post-service complications and discomfort.
Inspect the lateral walls where the gel meets the skin. White lines indicate lifting, meaning the product did not adhere properly to the side of the nail. Lifting traps moisture, creating an optimal environment for bacterial growth and potential infection under the artificial tip.
Look at the tip shape construction. The apex should sit slightly past the natural fingertip for strength. If placed directly over the nail end, it becomes a leverage point for easy breaking. Proper apex placement distributes stress evenly across the entire extension length.
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.
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.
