Aftercare advice for clients

Aftercare for Manicures

Hydrate regularly: Moisturise your hands daily with hand cream.
Wear gloves: When using any type of cleaning product or when washing dishes to protect the nails and keep them healthy.
Avoid harsh chemicals: Using products with harsh chemicals can dry out your nails and damage them.
Care for cuticles: Apply cuticle oil regularly and avoid cutting them to protect your nails from infection.
Minor repair: If a nail chips or breaks, lightly file the area instead of tearing off the broken section.
Nail bed protection: Avoid using nails as tools in order to prevent damage to the natural nail.

Aftercare for Pedicures

Foot care: Moisturise the feet daily to keep them soft and smooth.
Be mindful with footwear: Avoid tight, ill-fitting shoes which may cause corns, calluses, or nail problems.
Regular exfoliation: Gently buff the feet on a weekly basis to help remove dead skin cells.
Avoid long soak: Soaking feet for long periods can cause the nails to expand and then shrink, leading to potential damage.
Trim nails correctly: Cut toenails straight across to prevent ingrown nails.
Dry feet well: Especially between toes to prevent athlete’s foot.

Maintenance Advice for Both

Keep equipment clean: Ensure any tools used for manicures and pedicures are clean and maintained.
Regular appointments: Keep regular manicure and pedicure appointments to maintain nail health.
Careful with the nail polish: Avoid using old or expired nail polish, which can become thick and create a lumpy finish.
Healthy diet: Eat a balanced diet as vitamins and minerals contribute to nail health.
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water as hydration is essential for healthy nails.
