• Nail Check: A quick inspection of the hands, feet, and nail beds will be done to ensure the skin and nails are healthy and ready for polish or gel extensions.

• Gel Removal: If you currently have gel or acrylics from another salon, please inform us in advance so we can book additional time for a safe, professional removal process.

• Foot Hygiene: For pedicures, simply arrive with clean feet; your feet will be fully sanitized and soaked as part of the luxurious treatment.

This treatment is not suitable for individuals with any of the following conditions:

• Active fungal nail infections (onychomycosis) or severe athlete’s foot.

• Open wounds, deep weeping cracked skin, or active bacterial skin infections around the nail bed.

• Severe ingrown toenails that are highly inflamed, bleeding, or infected (these require clinical podiatry treatment).

• Cuticle Care: Apply a high-quality cuticle oil nightly to keep the surrounding skin hydrated and prevent lifting or cracking of the gel/polish.

• Wear Gloves for Chores: Always wear protective rubber gloves when doing household cleaning, washing dishes, or working with harsh household chemicals to preserve your nail longevity.

• Never Pick or Peel: If your gel polish begins to lift, do not peel or pick it off. Peeling pulls away the delicate top layers of your natural nail, leaving them weak and thin. Always book a professional soak-off.

• Proper Foot Care (Pedicures): Keep feet dry after showers and wear clean, breathable cotton socks. Avoid wearing tight, narrow-toed footwear immediately after a pedicure to prevent smudging traditional polish or pressuring the nail walls.
