How to understand that it is time to change the master? Signs of poor quality manicure and pedicure.
Of course, all modern girls want to be irresistible and therefore regularly attend cosmetic procedures. A beautiful manicure and pedicure is every lady’s dream. Going to salons is a rather expensive pleasure, but nevertheless, the fair sex does not deny themselves this and gives a lot of money for such services.
It is worth noting that not all craftsmen are conscientious about their work, even with high pay. Some simply neglect certain rules, as a result of which the owners of a manicure discover its negative sides. Improperly performed work can lead to both deformation of the nail and a number of other unpleasant moments. To avoid such problems, it is necessary to approach the choice of a master with special attention. In this article, we will tell you how to understand that it is time to change the master and analyze the main signs of poor-quality manicure and pedicure.
Signs of poor quality manicure
Manicure is a cosmetic procedure that involves holistic hand care. This means that your nails will be trimmed, filed and shaped, and your cuticles will be in order. The last step of this procedure is to cover the nails in the color of varnish you like and, possibly, apply some kind of pattern or pattern.
How to understand that a manicure is of poor quality:
-
- A good craftsman always uses one-time sources and opens a paper bag with tools in the presence of a client. If your master does not do this, this indicates his dishonesty.
-
- Symmetry and aesthetics are one of the key features of a good manicure. If the nails on your fingers are filed unevenly or their length is different on both hands, then the manicure is of poor quality.
-
- Pay special attention to the cuticle. You should not have hangnails, as well as pain after and during the procedure. Irritation should not appear even after a few days. A good manicurist, when cutting the cuticle, will definitely clarify whether this process gives you pain.
-
- The master should not soak your hands before correcting the nail plate – this is a gross mistake. You can file your nails only in a dry state, otherwise this will lead to delamination of the nail plate.
-
- Poor-quality manicure can also be determined by the number of layers that the master applies. If it is 1 or 2 layers – a high-quality coating is used, and if it is 3 or more layers – most likely, cheap varnish is used and you should think about the level of professionalism of the person who provides you with the service.
-
- A good specialist will make sure that you are not allergic to gel polish or have any contraindications. An unskilled master will not bother and immediately get to work.
-
- If, before starting work, your hands were not treated with an antiseptic, this can indicate either distraction or dishonesty of the master. It is also worth noting that all professionals work in gloves and protective masks for their own safety and the safety of the client.
-
- Upon completion of the procedure, the professional will treat the cuticles with special oil, and hands with cream. Not a professional, again, will not bother.
-
- If the master prefers nail polish remover to the typewriter, you should think about whether the specialist cares about your health. Such liquids have an aggressive composition that can adversely affect living skin cells.
-
- High-quality gel polish will stay on your nails for at least 3 weeks. If the manicure began to lose its attractive appearance after a few days, it was performed poorly.
Signs of poor-quality pedicure
A pedicure is still the same nail care procedure, but already on the legs. The list of signs of a poor-quality pedicure does not differ much from the previously listed items, but includes two more points:
-
- Only two nail shapes are allowed in a pedicure: a square and a soft square. If the master tries to give the nails a rounded shape, he is probably not a professional. All qualified specialists know that cutting corners leads to ingrown nails.
-
- If your nails are generally unhealthy (ingrown, yellowish, etc.), a good nail technician will not undertake such work and will advise you to undergo a medical examination by a specialist. In the presence of any diseases, a pedicure can only aggravate the situation. This rule also works in manicure, but in pedicure this problem is much more common.
And, summing up, we advise you to carefully consider the choice of a master. Always make sure that the workplace is clean before your visit, and that the specialist follows all the rules presented in this article.
