Question 3

How to take care of my own nails at home?

Accepted Answer

Between salon visits, you can do your part to improve the health and beauty of your nails: • Eliminate damaging habits. Biting your nails or picking your cuticles can cause permanent damage. Use a fine-grit nail file to shorten or smooth nails. • Be kind to your nails. Don't use them as tools like staple removers or screwdrivers. • Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Wear gloves when washing dishes or cleaning. • Remove polish with acetone, not by peeling. • Wear sunscreen to protect your hands and nails from sun damage.

Question 4

Why do you need to get your pedicure done?

Accepted Answer

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), foot ailments are the most common and neglected health problems. Seventy-five percent of Americans will experience foot problems, and women have about four times as many foot problems as men have. Your feet may be the first part of your body to show symptoms of arthritis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other severe medical conditions. The APMA offers practical suggestions for the care of your feet: wear properly-fitted, protective footwear; avoid going barefoot; use ice to treat injuries and reduce swelling and pain; and seek medical treatment at the first sign of injury or infection. If your feet require medical treatment, we recommend consulting with a licensed podiatrist.

Do you use gel polish? What is the difference between gel and shellac?

Do the lights used for gel nails cause skin cancer?

Question 13

Are nail products safe?

Nail products are very safe unless you ingest them, rub them into your eyes, or use them inappropriately.

Our services demand the most effective products available, from the safest and purest acetone to professional hospital-grade quality tools.

Question 14

Question 15

Do men get their nails done?

Accepted Answer

Men need to get their fingers and toenails taken care of just like women.

Question 16

What are nails made of?

Accepted Answer

The nail is a transparent plate composed primarily of the hardened protein keratin. The nail plate generates the most critical part of the nail's structure from the matrix. Located at the base of each nail, the matrix produces the keratin cells that form the nail plate. As these cells mature, they move from the matrix toward the end of the nail or free edge. Any damage to the matrix may permanently affect its ability to generate the nail plate. The shape and strength of a nail are determined primarily by the shape of its matrix.
