Pro Nail Health & Care Tips for the School Season
Between typing notes, carrying heavy backpacks, and busy daily routines, keep your glam nails strong and flawless with these expert habits:
- Hydrate On-The-Go: Keep a portable cuticle oil pen in your backpack or desk. Applying it daily prevents painful hangnails and stops dry classroom air from dehydrating your cuticles.
- Type with Your Fingertip Pads: When using laptops or tablets, use the pads of your fingers rather than your nail extensions to avoid tension fractures and accidental chips.
- Avoid Peeling Lifting Overlays: If your gel begins to lift during exam week, never peel or scrape it off. Peeling damages natural keratin layers; visit our salon for a gentle, safe soak-off.
