Tips before you book
- If you get gel often, give your nails a short break now and then. The free Nail Health Checker helps if they feel weak or peel.
- Metal tools should come out of a sealed pouch, and files and buffers should be new for each client.
- Book ahead for Friday evenings and weekends. Walk-in spots fill fast at popular salons.
- Ask what brand of gel or polish they use if you have sensitive skin or want a longer-lasting finish.
