Your Gel Nails, Manicure & Pedicure Aftercare Advice
We believe your hands, feet and nails deserve the same care and attention as the rest of your self-care routine. With a few simple steps at home, you can extend the benefits of your professional treatment and keep your nails, hands, and feet looking and feeling beautiful between appointments.
Gel Nail Aftercare
Beautiful, long-lasting nails start with gentle care. To maintain your gel nails and protect the health of your natural nail underneath, we recommend the following:
Avoid picking, pulling, or biting your gel polish — this causes damage to the natural nail and can lead to painful breakage.
Don’t use your nails as tools. Small habits like opening cans or scraping labels can weaken the structure and cause lifting.
Keep nails dry and protected when doing housework or gardening — gloves are essential.
Avoid Sun creams and other chemical-based products – as these will compromise the gel polish and cause premature lifting or chipping.
Apply a nourishing cuticle oil daily to support healthy growth and flexibility.
Book removal or reapplication every 2–3 weeks. Stretching beyond this can lead to nail imbalance, increasing the risk of splits or breaks.
Important Reminder:
Gel nails are not designed to last more than 4 weeks. As your natural nail grows out, the gel can create an unbalanced weight that places strain on the nail bed. Regular professional maintenance is key to keeping your nails healthy and strong.
Manicure Aftercare
Your hands are exposed to more than you think. Let’s protect them together. We often overlook our hands in daily routines, yet they’re constantly exposed to water, cleansing agents, UV, and temperature changes. Over time, these external factors can contribute to premature ageing, dryness, or thinning nails.
Your Daily Hand Ritual:
Apply a hydrating hand cream after washing or sanitising to replenish moisture.
Use cuticle oil daily to protect and nourish the delicate skin around the nail.
Wear gloves when washing up or gardening to shield your skin and polish.
Why Hands Deserve the Same Care as Your Face:
Hands are one of the first places to show signs of ageing, from dryness and fine lines to loss of elasticity and pigmentation. That’s why we recommend treating them with the same care you give your face.
Protect, Restore, Repeat:
Use SPF daily on the backs of your hands to prevent sun damage.
Exfoliate gently 1–2 times per week to reveal brighter, softer skin.
Consider regular in-salon hand treatments for added rejuvenation and long-term skin health.
Pedicure Aftercare Advice
Soft, healthy feet begin with gentle aftercare. Whether you’ve enjoyed a classic or medical-grade pedicure, looking after your feet at home helps maintain comfort, smoothness, and appearance.
First 24 Hours:
Avoid heat treatments like saunas or steam rooms.
Skip long baths or swimming.
Hold off on intense exercise or tight shoes that may disturb your polish.
Ongoing Care Tips:
Gently exfoliate once or twice a week to prevent hard skin build-up.
Moisturise your feet daily to maintain softness and prevent dryness or cracking.
Keep cuticles hydrated to avoid overgrowth.
If you're prone to foot concerns (such as sensitivity or dryness), ask us about tailored foot health routines at your next visit.
Your feet work hard for you, this small daily care helps return the favour.
