Nail Care Between Appointments: Expert Tips from CHANAILS

The care you give your nails between salon appointments is just as important as the professional services themselves. At CHANAILS SPA, our nail artists frequently share these tips with clients to help them maintain beautiful, healthy nails every day.

Cuticle oil is the single most impactful product you can use at home. Apply it to your cuticles and nail beds at least twice daily. Quality cuticle oils containing jojoba, vitamin E, or sweet almond oil keep the nail plate flexible, prevent hangnails, and promote healthy growth. Think of it as moisturizer for your nails.

Protect your investment by wearing gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, or gardening. Exposure to water, detergents, and chemicals is the number one enemy of both natural nails and professional nail services. Even brief exposure to harsh cleaning products can cause gel polish to lift and natural nails to become brittle.

Resist the urge to pick, peel, or bite your nails or nail enhancements. Removing gel polish, acrylics, or dip powder at home almost always damages the underlying natural nail. If you experience lifting or chipping between appointments, CHANAILS SPA offers quick repair services starting at just five dollars. A professional repair takes minutes and saves your nails from weeks of recovery.
