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.
Do not use your nails as tools. Leaning on them causes immediate cracks. Avoid peeling the product. Peeling takes layers of your natural nail with it. This weakens the nail plate permanently. Use a proper file if a chip appears. Gentle filing smooths the edge. Aggressive filing generates heat and thins the nail thin. Careful maintenance extends the lifespan of your extensions significantly.
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 to inspect the nail under a UV lamp immediately after application. Properly cured gel should not feel tacky or sticky. If the surface remains soft, the lamp wattage was likely insufficient or the cure time was too short, leading to potential allergic reactions later.
Extensions grow out as your natural nails grow. Regular fills are needed to maintain structure. Most people return every 3 weeks. Gaps appear at the cuticle line if you wait too long. These gaps trap dirt and cause lifting. Ask about their policy on missed appointments. Late fills cost more because the tech must rebuild lost length and bond surface.
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.
Gel nails need 30 to 60 seconds per layer under a lamp. Acrylic hardens on its own within 5 minutes. Rushing the cure leaves the material soft and tacky. Soft layers break apart easily during normal hand movements. Ask how long they leave each layer to set. Proper curing ensures durability. It prevents the extensions from warping or shrinking against the natural nail.
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.
Prices vary by complexity. Simple almond shapes cost less than intricate designs. Decals and hand-painted art add time and labor. Ask if the quote includes a top coat. Top coats add shine and protection. Infill services cost less than full sets. They only need re-bonding at the cuticle. New clients pay more for full length application.
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.
