Revisión de las uñas

The most popular nail services these days use opaque nail coatings (e.g. UV gel polish and opaque builders). This means that you cannot see the nail plate without removing the coating. But a nail health check is imperative!

If you have had experience or been following the stories of client allergies, you’ll know that a reaction can appear within days, not weeks. 

Now, if an allergic reaction does take hold, you need to remove the coating immediately:

• Para que las uñas empiecen a cicatrizar
• To remove the allergen asap

An allergic reaction can start slowly, with minimal symptoms, but it can also be extreme with symptoms, such as severe onycholysis on all nails, hyperkeratosis, and splinter hemorrhages. removing coatings from this type of effect is quite shocking and horrifying for both client and nail pro.

Now, as a side ‘story’ that is very relevant to understand, for every coating you put on a natural nail, there will be a compromise you need to make. This is one of the many reasons oil is a non-negotiable daily.

Todo el mundo sabe y acepta que, si te decoloras el pelo, necesitará cuidados extra después, para siempre. Puedes utilizar detergente líquido como champú y suavizante como acondicionador. Cumplirá su función, pero no con la misma eficacia que los productos de verdad. ¿Por qué casi todo el mundo cree que puede hacer lo que quiera con las uñas y no entiende los compromisos?

If clients want the benefits of nail coatings, they need to play their part in taking care of them. And so do nail pros!!!!

If you are concerned about the use of acetone for soaking so regularly:

1. Acetone is not an allergen but it may be an irritant. Its drying effect is temporary as the skin is producing natural oils all the time so will be replaced in minutes. OR, coat the skin with oil before the soak if clients don’t like the drying effect.
2. Buff off. Whether it is hand buffing or an e-file removal, the action does disturb the physical attachment of the nail plate onto the nail bed. ‘Gentle’ is the key word. Apart from thinning the nail plate, harsh buffing can cause the physical bond to ‘pop’.

Controlar la salud de las uñas es realmente esencial. Entonces, ¿hay alguna solución a la eliminación cada 2-3 semanas? Por supuesto que sí.

Apply a clear layer first. Then apply any of the opaque options. This means that only the opaque coating needs to be removed without going near the nail plate. (A situation where an e-file would be invaluable)

No haga concesiones en la revisión de la salud de sus uñas, pero comprenda que es necesario hacer otras concesiones para obtener unos servicios de uñas inteligentes e ingeniosos.
