Nail Extensions

On your first consultation, you will be asked questions about your lifestyle, and how long you plan to wear your extensions, it may only be for a holiday, party or wedding, etc, and also down to the health of your own nail plates. This helps to determine which of the systems is best for you. The client then can decide if they would like a permanent French Manicure, a natural look or a permanent colour, shape and required length. After the system type has been chosen the procedure will take 1 hour and 10 minutes. Each set is hand filed and crafted (never using a drill which over time ruins your natural nail plate and each treatment causes friction burns and discomfort to the client).

Prep of the Natural Nail Plate

Your finger nails or toe nails are treated to a mini manicure to help clean off cuticle growth and dead skin with a non abrasive remover. This leaves your natural nail plates clean, fresh and sterilized of grease and bacteria that can cause problems to the extension.

Various Techniques

There are various types of nail tips to suite your natural nail shape or if your own nails are long and just break at a certain length then you can have an overlay where the product is placed directly on to your own natural nail which stops breakages! I can also Sculpture a nail extension using a form to build up new length from your natural nail plate. Again you can have the permanent French, or natural look or a permanent colour with any of these systems. The Bio Sculpture Gel, Shellac or Gelish systems offer a range of permanent colours for both finger and toe nails.

The Nail Workshop has the latest selection of professional nail polishes or the old favourites to my colour chart if you wish your extensions to be painted or bring your own colour. This service is finished off with the Creative Super Shiny Top Coat for high shine and longer lasting finish.

Infilling

You will need to return every two to three weeks for an infill. The top of the extension will be filed down and a new layer of product is placed over the existing overlay filling the gap between your cuticle and the smile line. The tip is filed to the required length, reshaped and buffed to a glassy smooth finish. If you are wearing Bio Sculpture Gel, Shellac or Gelish you may change your permanent colour.
