Nail Aftercare

At 1st Secret Nails, we believe beautiful nails begin with expert care and are maintained through mindful aftercare. To ensure the longevity, strength, and appearance of your nails, please follow the guidance below:
    1.    Use non-acetone nail polish remover only, as acetone can weaken both natural nails and enhancements.
    2.    Please avoid picking or lifting your nails as they grow away from the cuticle area, as this may cause damage to the natural nail.
    3.    Do not use your nails as tools. Everyday tasks such as opening cans or scraping surfaces can compromise your nail set.
    4.    Regular maintenance is essential. We recommend booking your infill appointments every 2–3 weeks to keep your nails looking their best.
    5.    Do not attempt to remove your nail extensions at home. Professional removal at the salon helps protect the health of your natural nails.
    6.    Wear protective gloves when carrying out housework, gardening, or DIY to prevent unnecessary stress or breakage.
    7.    Take care around extreme heat or naked flames, as excessive heat may affect your nail enhancements.
    8.    If you experience any adverse reaction, such as redness or swelling around the cuticle area, please seek medical advice from your GP.

Your nails are an extension of your self-care routine. With the right aftercare, your nails will remain flawless, strong, and beautifully maintained between appointments.
