HAVE SOME QUESTIONS?
No. Acrylic Nails are not harmful to your natural nail bed if it is applied correctly and with state board approved products. If you have a history of thin or damaged nails acrylic enhancements might not be the best choice for your nail service. Maintenance is vital when choosing acrylics. Some can go 3 to 4 weeks before getting a fill-in while others need to get serviced every 2-weeks. Applying any product over your natural nail will cause a slight change from its normal state due to the filing that's necessary for the product to properly adhere to your nails.
Although you can continuously get a fill-in on acrylic nails, I recommend completely soaking off old acrylic and starting over every 2 months. Regardless of how often you get your nails done, your natural nails need to be tended to on a consistent basis to promote healthy natural nail growth and maintenance.
Choosing Gel or Acrylic is really a personal choice. For those that like to switch colors quite often and like the look and feel of their natural nails Gel polish is best. Gel polish is a product that uses colored gel that’s applied to your nails instead of traditional polishes. Gel polish is more durable than regular polish and usually last 10-14 days. Acrylic is loved by many because it is more durable than gel and gives your natural nails a hard covering that last for weeks. Polish chipping is reduced and the ability to wear the same color or design for an extended period of time is doable with acrylics.
Wait times vary depending on the day. During the weekend we keep our appointment times to early morning to leave the afternoon and evenings for walk-ins. Tuesday and Wednesday’s are usually our slowest. Thursday gets busy after 4pm. Friday’s and Saturday’s are usually our highest volume days. Normally if all the techs are full when you arrive the wait is 45-60 minuets. We ask that you take into consideration that people want their nails Gathered! Which means designs, stones, shapes, Chrome, etc. These nail procedures take more time than a normal polish. We want your Nails to look great so we do take our time to make sure you’re getting your monies worth! We work diligently as well as time efficient. However, we understand that sometimes you just need to get in and out fast. In these cases, making an appointment will be best.
