About Manicure
Tools the professional should bring
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.
Nail shape and cuticle care
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.
How long the finish should last
Classic polish looks fresh for 3 to 5 days. Gel holds 14 to 21 days without chipping. Shellac averages 14 days. Builder gel with apex can last 21 to 28 days if applied in 4 layers. Anything peeling within 48 hours usually means prep was skipped, the nail was over-buffed, or the lamp was mismatched.
What usually goes wrong
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.
Questions to ask before booking
Confirm the brand of polish, the lamp wattage, and whether products are 5-free or 10-free. Ask if the professional carries their own table, lamp, and sanitizer. Request a portfolio of at least 5 recent sets. Clarify travel fees, cancellation terms, and whether a 30 % deposit is required for weekend slots.
How long a session takes at home
A classic manicure at home lasts 30 to 45 minutes. A gel application takes 45 to 60 minutes because each coat needs 30 to 60 seconds under the LED lamp. Add 10 minutes if you want nail art on more than two fingers.
Aftercare that protects the result
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.
Price factors you should know
Rates depend on polish brand, technique, and add-ons. Classic polish starts lower than gel, while builder gel or extensions can cost 2 to 3 times more. Add-ons like nail art, French tips, or removal of old gel add 10 to 20 minutes and a fixed surcharge. Travel distance and last-minute bookings also raise the final bill.
How to prepare your nails before the visit
Remove old polish at home with a non-acetone remover the night before. Push back cuticles gently with a wooden stick after a shower. Do not cut your own cuticles. Leave nails bare so the pro can see the natural plate and choose the right prep.
Tools the professional must bring
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.
