The service is a focused 45-minute appointment. We assess damage, clean and prep the nail, apply reinforcement (silk, gel or acrylic patch), shape and finish for a natural look. Your technician will recommend aftercare tips to support healing and strength.

Often yes — we can repair many splits and breaks using professional bonding and reinforcing materials. Deep or infected breaks may require medical attention or multiple sessions. Your technician will evaluate severity and recommend the best repair type, timing, and any necessary precautions.

Yes, repairs are blended and finished for a smooth, natural appearance. Technicians match contours and texture before applying polish. With proper curing and topcoat, repaired nails hold polish well and withstand everyday use, though heavy impact should be avoided while healing.

Keep nails dry for the first few hours, avoid harsh chemicals, and moisturize cuticles daily. Wear gloves for chores, avoid picking at repairs, and follow salon advice for fills or reevaluation. Using a recommended nail strengthener helps maintain results between visits.

Risks are minimal when performed by trained technicians: temporary sensitivity, allergic reaction to adhesives, or improper bonding can occur. We perform patch tests for allergies when needed and follow strict sanitation. Report pain or persistent irritation so we can address issues promptly.

Follow-ups depend on nail growth and daily wear; typically a check or fill every 2–4 weeks keeps repairs strong and manicures fresh. If you notice lifting, damage, or discomfort sooner, call us for an earlier appointment to prevent further issues.
