Prices vary by technique, nail condition, and add-ons. Gel costs about 30% to 50% more than classic polish. French tips, chrome powder, or hand-painted art add time, so each nail art design can raise the total by 15% to 25%. Travel distance matters.
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.
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.
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.
Classic polish dries in air and lasts about 4 to 5 days without chips. Gel polish cures under UV or LED and holds 10 to 14 days. Shellac is a softer gel hybrid, easier on the nail plate, but the base coat must be soaked off, not filed.
Watch that the pro washes hands before starting and wears fresh gloves. Implements that touch broken skin, like nippers, must be sterilized between clients. Pumice stones and foam buffers must be new. If anything looks reused or damp, ask for a replacement before work begins.
Classic polish should look clean for 4 to 5 days with normal use. Gel should last 10 to 14 days without peeling if cured properly. If lifting happens before day 5, the prep was probably rushed and the pro should redo it at no charge.
Classic polish dries in air and usually chips within 3 to 5 days. Gel polish needs a 36 to 48 W UV or LED lamp and lasts 14 to 21 days without peeling. Shellac is a softer gel-hybrid, removed in about 8 minutes with pure acetone, while classic gel needs 15 minutes of soaking and foil wraps.
Tools that contact broken skin, such as nippers and cuticle pushers, must be sterilised in an autoclave or hospital-grade disinfectant for at least 10 minutes. Non-porous implements can be wiped with 70 % isopropyl alcohol between clients. Disposable items like files, buffers, and orange sticks should be opened in front of you.
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.
