Avoid soaking hands in hot water for the first several hours after application. Water expands the natural nail beneath the rigid overlay. This stress can cause lifting or cracking. Apply cuticle oil daily to keep surrounding skin hydrated. Dry skin pulls on the seal. If you do dishes, wear rubber gloves. Harsh soaps strip moisture and degrade the top coat faster than plain hand soap ever would.
Simple French manicures take 30 to 45 minutes. Complex chrome or 3D designs require 90 to 120 minutes. Book specific slots to avoid waits. Confirm arrival time for home services. Late changes may incur cancellation fees of 25% of total cost. Always verify deposit policies upfront.
Remove old product before the appointment. Do not buff rough spots yourself beforehand. Mention any recent chemical exposures. Clean nails under warm water for 5 minutes prior. Dry thoroughly to prevent mold growth. Weak, peeling nails may require repair treatments first, adding time and cost.
UV lamps cure gel in 60 seconds. LED lamps take 30 seconds but emit less heat. Blue light activates photoinitiators in the polish. Ask if the artist uses quality lamps to prevent under-curing. Under-cured gel peels off easily. Proper curing ensures firm adhesion and prevents bacterial trapping under the nail plate.
Inspect each nail under bright daylight before leaving. Check for bubbles, uneven edges, or lifting at the cuticle. Test flexibility by gently pressing the tip. Ensure no product overlaps onto skin. Request immediate fixes for minor imperfections. Agree on a 24-hour window for complaints before paying in full.
Gel systems cure under UV or LED light and feel flexible. Acrylics harden chemically and create a rigid shell. Gel is thinner and often looks more natural. Acrylic is stronger for very short bites or damaged nails. Ask which product line they use. Some cheap gels peel in one piece rather than wearing down smoothly. This affects how long your design lasts before needing a refill or full removal.
Removing gel art requires acetone soaks, which smell strong and dry out skin. Ask if they provide cotton clips or foil wraps to contain fumes. Some technicians open jars repeatedly, increasing air exposure. This can irritate sensitive eyes and respiratory systems. If you have allergies, request low-fume alternatives or open air ventilation. Discuss this before they start removing your old polish. Do not wait until the jar is already stuck to your nails.
Curing time depends on lamp wattage and product depth. Ask about their lamp specs. Weak lamps under-cure gel, leaving it sticky and soft. Over-curing burns the nail bed. You will feel heat or pain while they work. Pain is a stop signal. If your nails burn, demand they lower the intensity or switch lamps. Burnt nails are sensitive for days. Do not tolerate pain as part of the normal professional process.
Some professionals offer home visits, but their portable setup may lack power. Lamps need stable voltage. Compressors for air brush art require generators. Ask about their backup power plans. Inconsistent curing power leads to soft spots. Do not assume a home setup equals a studio setup. Check their equipment age. Old lamps degrade quickly and fail to cure thick layers, leaving your new nail art vulnerable to chipping and peeling within days.
Bring 3 reference images before the session. Discuss color codes accurately, like OPI shade names. Agree on sticker quality if using transfers. Request a sketch for intricate hand-painted work. Clarify which hands or feet are included. Adjust expectations based on natural nail shape limitations.
