NAIL ENHANCEMENTS THE PAINLESS APPROACH
Bet you know of someone who has had a bad experience with nail extensions? Or maybe it was you. The Nail business is the fastest growing sector of the beauty industry and unfortunately this has led to a lot of malpractice due to inadequate training. This has resulted in you, the unsuspecting public, suffering as a result. So let me guide you through what you should expect from your Nail Technician.
Your nail tech should sanitise both yours and their hands, sanitise their files in front of you, and have their metal tools discinfecting in a product such as Barbicide. They MUST complete a full written consultation with you highlighting your lifestyle (profession, hobbies etc), any medical conditions, previous nail experiences and give you aftercare advice.
At no time should you experience pain, discomfort or bleeding. If your tech says this is okay then get out of there straight away as they will probably do untold damage your nails. No system will damage your natural nail, only poor application or improper removal so ask to see your techs qualifications (not course attendance) before you let them touch your nails.
Acrylic is best. Yes thats true because all 3 systems are from the acrylic family. There is Liquid and Powder (more commonly known as Acrylic), Gel and Wraps. All systems are equally strong if your technician uses a quality brand, and no system is better for the natural nail than the other this is poor information bandied about by bad techs to mislead you. Oh and thick doesnt mean strong either, so if your enhancements look lumpy and/or thick dont put up with it go somewhere else as they should resemble a natural nail, not a door stop!!
So now you have a little more information on what to expect from your nail technician then please vote with your feet, and give your hands a break!!
