Having led the nail salon in the Nashville, Tennessee area for years, it's reasonable to state that Experience This Hair Salon & Barbershop understands a thing or two about manicures. Among the main lessons that we have heard through the years is that time is valuable. Some of the most common concerns we hear from our customers relate to their shortage of time. Well, we've got a solution for this problem and it is the shellac manicure.
CREATIVE NAIL DESIGN (CND)
The shellac manicure is one of the most durable and durable manicures that we offer and stays without cracks or chips for up to a month. This type of manicure combines a formula that is half nail polish and half bath gel and is a product of Creative Nail Design (CND). The CND shellac can be applied to your nails exactly like regular polish but it treated using UV lamps similar to gel.
ADVANTAGES OF A SHELLAC MANICURE
If you are sick of your fingernails chipping on a regular basis and do not have the time or cash to get them repaired, then a shellac manicure may be ideal for you. Shellac nails also tend to be thinner and smoother than gel nails which can have a number of practical benefits.
Additionally, shellac claws allow you to have a consistent color for a period of three to four weeks without needing to keep or reapply your polish.
DISADVANTAGES OF SHELLAC NAILS
With each manicure, pedicure or other nail procedure we offer at Experience This Hair Salon & Barbershop, we're always upfront regarding the type of manicure that best meets your requirements. While a shellac manicure has many benefits like its durability and endurance, there is not any doubt that there are a number of disadvantages.
To start with, like gel nails, the UV lamp necessary to heal shellac nails is not without criticism. While our expert technicians are trained in the proper use of the UV lamp and never exceed the appropriate timeframes for use, issues still exist. For instance, repeated UV lamp exposure can damage nail cuticles and the surrounding epidermis.
Additionally, the durable character of shellac claws implies you have to commit to a specific style or color for a longer time period. This usually means that you need to be very sure of the color you need when buying a shellac nail manicure. Eventually, your nails will require some preparatory work until the UV curing takes place.
If this process is repeated too often then it can harm your nails making them brittle and weak.
SHELLAC NAIL RECOMMENDATIONS
At Experience This Hair Salon & Barbershop we have three important recommendations for everyone who's interested in using our shellac nail service.
- Use sunscreen lotion during the UV curing stage.
- Avoid repeated shellac manicures. Give your nails a break of two or three weeks before applying a new shellac treatment.
- Be sure of the color and style that you want.
