Quick answers to common questions about Posh Nails Salon
How long do gel nails last?
Gel manicures typically last 2-3 weeks without chipping when properly applied and maintained. Factors affecting longevity include daily activities, nail growth rate, and home care.
Are acrylic nails damaging?
When applied and removed correctly by trained professionals, acrylics should not damage natural nails. Damage occurs from improper application, excessive filing, or picking/peeling rather than professional removal.
What's the difference between gel and dip powder?
Gel uses liquid polish cured under UV/LED light, while dip powder involves dipping nails into colored powder with activator. Dip powder doesn’t require UV exposure and typically lasts slightly longer.
Can I get nail services with weak or damaged nails?
Absolutely! We offer strengthening treatments and gentle methods suitable for compromised nails. During your consultation, we’ll assess condition and recommend services that promote healing while providing beautiful results.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Remove existing polish if possible (we can do this). Avoid cutting cuticles beforehand. Arrive with clean hands and inform us of any allergies or sensitivities.
Do you sanitize tools between clients?
Yes! We follow strict sanitation protocols including EPA-registered disinfectants, single-use files/buffers, autoclave sterilization for metal tools, and fresh linens for every client.
