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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Wear gloves when using cleaning products. Chemicals strip the bond between layers. Moisturize cuticles daily with oil. Dry cuticles lead to lifting. Avoid hot water soaking for long periods. Heat softens the gel and acrylic materials. Use a dry brush to clean debris. Gentle cleaning prevents buildup that forces you to remove the set early.
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.
A good application uses primer, dehydrator, and bonding agent. Primer removes oils to help the glue stick. Dehydrator dries the nail plate completely. Bonding agent creates a stable bridge between nail and extension. Missing steps cause immediate peeling. Watch them apply thin layers. Thick blobs of product will never cure properly and remain sticky for years.
