ARTIFICIAL NAILS

STOP!  There is a lot to consider before you let just anyone touch your nail

Does your current salon have these bad practices?

  • They don’t clean and sanitize the drill bits before using them on you.
  • There aren’t any hand sanitising gels on the nail table ready for you to use.
  • They don’t use the hand sanitising gels themselves before they touch your hands.
  • The table’s surface is full of old nail clippings and looks dirty.
  • They don’t turn your hands over to see the undersides of the nails to see if they need replacement.
  • They force your old nail off with clippers or another nail tip.
  • They never replace the old acrylic with new and flexible acrylic
  • They only do a quick fill near the cuticles and don’t shorten, reshape, strengthen and rebalance every infill.
  • They won’t let you change the style, shape or colour?
  • Your fingers are sore after each service (The nail techs aren’t supporting your nail plate near the cuticle when filing)
  • Your cuticles are bleeding (apart from the pain, dirty files spread germs)
  • Your nails have ‘rings of fire’-pink or red patches or lines on your nail plates (they’ve put too much pressure onto the delicate nail plate when filing.  These marks will take up to 6 months to grow out)
  • They only ever stick on a white tip no matter how short your natural nail is. (For a natural looking nail, the pink back should be longer than the white).
  • They never clean the undersides as they’re too busy to do it.
  • They don’t tell you if you have a suspect nail eg: ‘fungus’ or green/black nails? Eeew! (This can happen if the nail Techs haven’t previously removed old or ‘lifted’ acrylic or properly sanitized the plate before they’ve recoated it with more acrylic)


What we do for you:

You get new files (valued at $10) which we hygienically sanitize and store for your next visit and we hygienically sanitize each drill bit every time. No transference of germs.

  • We apply sanitizing hand gel before, and then wash your hands, after the service.
  • We safely file and soak off old acrylic to reduce nail plate damage when you’re needing a new set.
  • We always check the undersides and top of all nails to make sure there aren’t any lifts or separations.
  • We renew the old overlays regularly to keep them hygienic, and we also clean underneath your nails
  • We always reshape, rebalance and strengthen-we take time to make them look and feel great.
  • You can have any shape, colour or length – your decision.
  • We create nice ‘smile’ lines and you won’t need bandages!

Nail Repairs.

OUCH!  Did you break your nail or tear the sides? We can fix it with silk, fibreglass or gel.

For a more serious break – up in the nail bed – then we suggest you have an acrylic overlay for extra strength.

Acrylic Nails

If you’re a nail biter, want extra length with built-in strength then these are the ones for you. We can extend the ends with a sculpting form or a plastic tip and either way they’ll be beautiful and strong. Whatever design you want, from French (white ends and pink backs) to full embedded design (pretty bits in the acrylic) or colours, we can do it OR we can paint them too-you choose!

Bio-Sculpture

These are great if you like a shorter nail. We paint on a gel and cure (cook) it under an Ultra Violet light. This light is absolutely safe and has been tested by independent experts.  Ring Bio Sculpture offices and they’ll give you the professional findings. We don’t buy cheap, dodgy UV lights that may cause harm.

Whether you want French or coloured we can do it for you. It dries instantly, can be safely soaked off in up to 15 minutes (no damage to your nail) or you can just grow it out. You can even cut them. It won’t chip, smudge or wear off at the ends. It’s absolutely fabulous.  Why would you wear nail polish that takes forever to dry.

We now have CND Shellac…the original!  There are lots of immitations, but we consider nothing is as good as the CND Shellac. It’s cured under a UV light which makes it dry instantly.  Why would you bother with a slow drying nail polish any more?  It’s easily soaked off in about 5-10 minutes.  Come in and try before you buy.
