NAILS ENHANCEMENTS

Nails have always formed such an important part of the grooming ritual. From the ancient times through to today where long nails signified status, & good manicure is an indication that you take pride in your appearance. We use highly acclaimed brands such as CND Brisa Sculpting Gel, Artistic Liquid & Powder, CND Brisa Lite Removable Gel

Tips:
A lightweight plastic plate that follows the shape of the nail is glued to the tip of the natural nail in order to add length. Acrylic or gel is then applied on top of the extension and is usually ‘cured’ in order to secure the extension and add strength and shine.

TYPES OF Enhancements

Overlay

Overlays skip the extension step, and instead of adding artificial length onto the nail, the strengthening mixture is simply applied directly onto the natural nail in order to add strength and durability.

Molding

Special Forms are fitted over the nail and then an artificial nail is molded out of acrylic or Gel and the form is removed and then properly shaped and buffed to a shine.

Difference between Acrylics, Hard Gel & Soak Off Lite Gel

Acrylics

Acrylic removal process is simple and straightforward you can opt for nails to be soaked rather than filed off. Acrylics are very strong ,they can last a long time and are very robust but may look less natural than gel. Pregnant women are advised not to use acrylic nails during pregnancy due to strong use of chemicals.

Hard gel

Looks more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails. The curing time is faster than acrylics. Gel nail mixtures lack the fumes associated with acrylic nails – they’re considered a safer, more eco-friendly option but They don’t last as long and are less durable than acrylic Hard Gel nails often need to be filed off which can make the natural nail very thin and brittle.

Soak Off Lite Gel

Soak-off gel nails is the way to go if you have damaged brittle nails but still cant do without those gorgeous extensions this gel last for about 2 -3 weeks, and don’t require hurtful and damaging drills and extensive filing ,it’ s easy to remove by using just the acetone. they always look like they were just done, they are more flexible and lightweight, however, they are not strong and does not last as long as their counterparts.

HOT OIL MANICURE

A hot oil manicure is great for cracked or dry hands because a hot oil manicure helps to improve overall nail health. Everyday wear on your hands can cause them to become dry and your nails to become brittle, so improve your nail health and skin with a hot oil manicure. A hot oil manicure is also one of the best for women. It leaves the skin feeling softer and allows for better nail health in terms of brittle or dry nails.

Hot Oil Manicure Procedure
The hot oil manicure procedure is the same as a traditional manicure process up to a point. However, instead of a lotion massage at the end of the manicure the therapist will prep a heater with oil and submerge your nails for few minuites.

Oils that are commonly used in a hot oil manicure are almond, sesame, mineral or olive oil. There are subtle differences to each of the oils and a manicurist will be able to help you decide which is best for you. Once your hands have been submerged in the oils, your manicurist will remove them and massage the oils into your hands, wrists and cuticles.

GEL PARAFFIN NAIL CARE

There are a lot of benefits to a paraffin wax manicure . The heat will open your pores, which allows the lubricants in the paraffin wax and moisturizing cream that the manicurist will apply to soften your skin.

The heat from the paraffin wax will also allow for better circulation in your hands. If you have dry or cracked hands then a paraffin wax manicure from Mind & Sense would be a great choice for you.

A paraffin wax manicure is a great for enhancing and maintaining nail health. People see your hands all the time and cracked skin can be annoying or painful.

Additionally, paraffin wax can have therapeutic aspects to it in addition to allowing for better circulation or relief from arthritis, eczema or carpal tunnel. Even without these health benefits, having even softer hands is a great bonus from a paraffin wax care!

Our manicurist will make sure your wax is at a comfortable temperature to prevent you from any burning or uncomfortable sensations.

After the manicure cleaning process the therapist will insert your hands into our disposable paraffin wax gloves and lock with thermal gloves to enhance the effects of paraffin and finished off with a relaxing hand massage and polish application

GEL MEDICAL PEDICURE

Feet will think all their celebrations have come at once during a medical pedicure at the hands of a skilled beautician.

The treatment will include removal of hard skin with the most amazing callus treatment, cuticle care and a file, followed by a paraffin treatment which will ensure feet are made to feel soft and refreshed and topped off with a revivng feet reflexology massage and a choice of polish. Alternatively, guests can receive the same pedicure treatment but instead opt for a more durable and longer-lasting gel polish.

Do’s and dont’s for daily hair care

No pressure, no breakage

Are you used to subjecting your nails to pressure, using them to prise open things? Well, you need to stop doing that — it makes your nails weak and leads to breakage. It is especially bad when you have long enhancement nails. Not only do you run the risk of breaking your enhancements, it could also pull your natural nail off the nail bed. Painful!

Oiling your cuticles

Cuticles need to be pushed back from time-to-time; otherwise, they tend to grow over your nails, making them look ugly. Make sure you apply some cuticle oil to soften them. An easy and ideal routine would be to wash your hands and moisturise them before turning in every night.

Filing your enhancements

Extremely long nails (and enhancements at that) spell trouble. They are brittle and tend to break under slightest pressure. You must visit the salon weekly for a buff & shine weekly maintenance so that they don’t snag.

Protect while working

It is common knowledge that detergents contain harsh chemicals that dry out your nails and hands. They are even more detrimental to your acrylic nails. So, wear gloves when you are working with suds or are performing household chores.

Treat your nails like jewels, not tools. Wear gloves when you do any kind of housework or gardening, use a soda can opener on pop tops, and dial the phone with the eraser end of a pencil.

Don’t ignore lifts

Acrylics & enhancement gels tend to come off after a while. You must get your extensions closed if they come off the nail bed even slightly. Visit our salon and get the lifts filled — the air gaps are a perfect breeding ground for bacterial and fungal growth.

This can lead to discolouration of your natural nail and deterioration of the nail bed.

Don’t glue it

Don’t even think of trying an at-home DIY when you notice a lift in your acrylics. Applying glue to fill in the lift is the worst mistake you can make. The moisture in the glue attracts fungi and bacteria. Filling your lift with glue will definitely infect your nails.

Touch-up and breather

If you intend to keep your extensions for long, make sure to get a touch-up done every two weeks. That’s because the gap between your natural nail and the extensions gets wider with time and your acrylics start wearing off. Also, make sure you give your nails ample time to breath between each session.
Do not keep your extensions on for more than three to four weeks at a time.

Extra care

If you are wearing polish or a French manicure, apply a top coat every other day to prevent chipping and yellowing. If you are out in the sun frequently, you may need to apply top coat every day.

Your nail technician can recommend a top coat with UV inhibitors made especially to prevent yellowing.

Your nail technician will recommend an application (whether it be acrylic, gel, or a lite gel ) and a nail length that best suits your hands and your lifestyle.
For example, if you are especially hard on your nails because you work on the computer or do heavy work ,shorter nails may be best for you .

Reschedule your appointment if you are ill. If you have a contagious skin or nail condition , wait until it clears before visiting the salon again. Make an appointment with your dermatologist if these conditions persist.

Very few clients will discover that they are allergic to an ingredient in some nail products. An allergic reaction is characterized by redness, itching, swelling, or irritation a round the nail or around the eyes and mouth . If you develop any of these symptoms, call your nail technician . She will help you determine what ingredients you’re having a reaction to and will take steps to help you avoid them . If necessary, she can probably refer you to a dermatologist . Do not ignore a condition that develops around the nail.

If for some reason you decide that you no longer want to wear extensions, do not take them off yourself! Although it may seem the simplest way to do it, pulling the nails of f can damage your natural nail and make regrowth a long and painful process.

Extensions can be safely removed if done correctly by your nail technician.

WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?

Often appointments can be held for a client for weeks, sometimes even months in advance and should someone not show up for one of these appointments it creates great cost to the business and to the therapist & Stylist.

Should you give us less notice than required or simply not show up for your appointment. Future appointments may only be booked on a waiting list basis and guaranteed appointments may not be available without prior deposit.
