NAIL SOS: Are your nails peeling?

If your nails are splitting, flaking or peeling in layers, your first instinct might be to buff them smooth or pick at the peeling bits…

Don’t!

Peeling can be caused by things like repeated exposure to water and chemicals, trauma to the nail, or picking and peeling off products.

Instead:

Keep your nails at a manageable length
Use cuticle oil regularly
Wear gloves when cleaning or washing up
Avoid picking or peeling product from your nails
Give damaged areas time to grow out

And if you’re not sure what’s causing it, ask your nail tech before trying to fix it yourself.

Kinda chic to find a salon you love coming to visit 🤍

Do gel nails ruin your natural nails?

Absolutely not

Gel doesn’t damage healthy nails when it’s applied & removed correctly.

Damage usually comes from picking, peeling or improper removal.

Nothing makes us happier than knowing our clients feel this way in our salon.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review. It reminds us why we do what we do every day.

A lash lift and tint could be for you if…

You curl your lashes every, single day

Your mascara smudges, flakes or ends up under your eyes

You want your eyes to look for awake without wearing make up

You’re going on holiday and want low maintenance make up around the pool

Your natural lashes feel invisible without make up

You just love a low maintenance beauty routine

If you said yes to any of these it might be time for a lash lift and tint.

If you want stronger, healthier-looking nails, one of the easiest things you can do is apply cuticle oil every day. Keeping your cuticles hydrated helps protect new nail growth, reduces dryness and hangnails, and leaves your manicure looking fresher for longer.

So if your cuticle oil is sitting at the bottom of your handbag… this is your sign to use it!
