Nails
How long do gel or acrylic nails last?
Gel nails: 2–3 weeks
Acrylic nails: 3–4 weeks
Longevity depends on lifestyle and maintenance.
Do acrylic or gel nails damage natural nails?
The damage doesn’t come from the product—it comes from improper removal. Peeling or forcefully removing nails is the main cause of nail damage.
What’s the difference between gel, acrylic, and BIAB?
Gel: Natural look, flexible
Acrylic: Strong, good for length
BIAB: Strengthens natural nails, minimal extensions
Each serves a different purpose—there’s no “best,” only “best for you.”
How often should I get nail refills?
Every 2–3 weeks to:
– Maintain structure
– Prevent lifting
– Avoid breakage
Can I do household chores with artificial nails?
Yes, but:
– Avoid using nails as tools
– Wear gloves when cleaning
– Keep cuticle oil handy
What should I do if a nail breaks or lifts?
Do not glue it back yourself. Visit the salon for a professional fix to avoid infections.
Are nail infections common?
They’re preventable. Infections usually happen due to:
– Moisture trapped under lifted nails
– Poor hygiene
– Delayed repairs
Waxing
Does waxing hurt?
Waxing is uncomfortable, not unbearable. Pain decreases with regular sessions because hair grows back finer.
How long should my hair be before waxing?
Hair should be about ¼ inch long (roughly the size of a grain of rice). Too short = ineffective, too long = more discomfort.
How long do waxing results last?
Results last 3–4 weeks, depending on hair growth cycles.
Is waxing safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, when done correctly using suitable wax and proper aftercare. Always inform your technician if you have sensitive skin, skin conditions, or allergies.
Can I wax during my period?
Yes, but skin sensitivity is higher. You may experience more discomfort.
What should I avoid after waxing?
For 24 hours, avoid:
– Hot showers
– Tight clothing
– Heavy workouts
– Sun exposure
How do I prevent ingrown hairs after waxing?
– Exfoliate gently 2–3 days after
– Moisturize daily
– Avoid tight clothing
Who should not wax?
Avoid waxing if you:
– Are using strong retinoids
– Have sunburned or broken skin
– Have certain skin conditions
Lashes
How long do eyelash extensions last?
Lash extensions typically last 2–4 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare. Refills are recommended every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness.
Are eyelash extensions safe for my natural lashes?
Yes—when applied correctly by a trained technician using proper weight and adhesive. Damage usually comes from overloaded lashes, poor isolation, or DIY removal.
Can I get my lashes wet after the appointment?
Avoid water, steam, and heavy sweating for the first 24 hours. After that, normal washing is fine.
Will lash extensions cause my natural lashes to fall out?
No. Natural lashes shed daily whether you have extensions or not. Extensions only fall off with the natural lash attached.
Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?
Yes, but:
– Avoid oil-based products
– Skip waterproof mascara
– Clean lashes regularly
How should I care for my lash extensions?
– Clean them 2–3 times a week
– Avoid rubbing or pulling
– Sleep on your back or side
– Brush gently with a spoolie
Who should avoid lash extensions?
You should avoid extensions if you have:
– Active eye infections
– Severe allergies to adhesives
– Extremely weak or sparse natural lashes
