Pro Tips for Perfect Nails: Insights from a Nail Tech

Hello, gorgeous! 💅 As a professional nail technician, my job is to make sure your nails are always runway-ready. Whether you're a seasoned client or new to the world of professional nail care, here’s everything you need to know to keep your nails flawless between appointments and maximise your salon experience.

1. Prep is Key

Every stunning set starts with proper prep. As your tech, I’ll make sure your cuticles are groomed, your nails are shaped, and your natural nail is clean and primed. This ensures the product adheres properly and keeps lifting at bay.

2. Trust the Process

I know it can be tempting to fiddle with your phone mid-appointment, but staying still allows me to work with precision. Let me handle the details, and you’ll leave with nails that slay every time.

3. Maintenance Matters

Your new nails are like tiny works of art, so treat them with care. Avoid using your nails as tools—no opening cans or peeling stickers! And if you notice any lifting or cracks, book a repair appointment ASAP.

4. Respect Your Schedule

Regular infills every 2–3 weeks keep your nails looking flawless and balanced. Going too long between appointments can cause the enhancement to lift, break, or even damage your natural nail. Consistency is everything!

5. Cuticle Oil = Magic Elixir

If there’s one product every client should use religiously, it’s cuticle oil (we sell DELICIOUS cuticle oil!). Daily application keeps your nails hydrated and flexible, reducing the risk of breakage. Plus, it makes your mani look fresh longer.

6. Communication is Key

Want a specific design? Have concerns about your nails? Don’t be shy! I love when clients share inspiration and feedback—it helps me create a set that truly reflects your style.

7. Nail Health First

I’ll always prioritise the health of your natural nails. Whether that means recommending a soak-off instead of a fill or taking a break from enhancements, trust me to keep your nails strong and beautiful in the long run.

8. Choose Quality Products

As your tech, I only work with top-tier products that are safe, long-lasting, and stunning. If you’re ever curious about what’s being used, just ask—I’m happy to share!

9. Book Ahead

Nail appointments fill up fast, especially during busy seasons. Lock in your next visit before leaving the salon to ensure you always have a spot in my chair.

Your nails deserve the best, and as a professional nail tech, it’s my mission to make sure they look their absolute finest. Have any burning nail questions? I’m here to help. Until then, keep slaying! 💖

Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Hugs,

Leonie & Charlotte
