Tips Your Nail Salon Doesn’t Want You To Know
By: Tiffany Van
Dressing nicely in a professional field is
not the only thing you should consider. The appearance of your nails draws
attentions whether it’s your nasty cuticles, uneven nails or chipped nail
polish it should always be maintained. Pampering and maintain yourself becomes
costly at the nail salon as prices often rack up from $10 to $100, which does
not include tip. As a nail technician I have learned tricks, tips and have
taught myself ways to do my own nails without paying the price.
Dominant Hand Vs. Least Dominant Hand:
Practicing with your least dominant hand is
an obvious way that will get you better. I am right handed so I use my left
hand first to start my manicure because it takes longer and it allows the
polish to dry as I finish off the manicure with my right hand.
Trimming:
Your nail bed is a basic guideline of what
shape and length of your nails but of course everyone has different
preferences. Keeping the length of your
nail is always difficult because overtime they soften by daily activity.
Trimming your nails includes filing and
buffing which also creates a clean slate for the nail polish to last
longer.
Nail Polish:
There are several of brands of nail polish
but the most popular and commonly found in nail salons are OPI and China
Glaze. The quality of the nail polishes are commonly compared to each other
but the service of the nail technician should be considered because the way you
paint the polish plays a huge role in the life span of your manicure.
Chipped Nails:
You may think there is no harm in picking
off the nail polish that is already chipped but that is not the case. This lazy
method of removing nail polish causes the nails to weaken as you’re also taking
off the top layer of your nails. Always use nail polish remover!
