Natural Nails
Nerve endings are concentrated more at the tips of the fingers then any
other part of the body – well taken care of nails are not only nice
to look at, they are more comfortable! I have available a variety of products
that can help your nails grow strong and smooth, and when I see you, I
can recommend a course of action that can encourage even weak, thin or
brittle nails to grow lustrous and healthy.
I recommend weekly manicures to maintain attractive, healthy nails.
Artificial Nails
Artificial nails are a wonderful alternative for those whose own nails
are just too weak to grow, but they have to be created carefully to insure
that the nail underneath remains healthy. Good sanitation and careful
application is crucial when artificial nails are worn. There are many
types of fungus that can occur under acrylic nails and they can be very
contagious and difficult to clear up once they have moved in. I have clients
that have had acrylic nails for fifteen years and have never had any fungus
or problems.
Everyone has different body chemistry. A product or technique that works
well on one person, may not work well on another. I have many different
products and techniques so that I can customize your nail regimen to you,
and help avoid lifting and breaking.
Second only to the health of the nails, I make it a priority to make the
artificial nail look natural, keeping the product application appropriate
to the wearer and then carefully sculpting it. Only you should know you
have artificial instead of natural nails!
I recommend having artificial nails filled every two weeks.
Pedicures
What is more luxurious than having a foot massage and pedicure? We are
on our feet all day, every day, don’t you think you should give
them a break? A pedicure can make walking and running much more comfortable.
With regular pedicures, ingrown toenails and painful callouses can be
avoided. Pedicures can also be very beneficial for diabetics. The stimulation
is very good for the nerve endings in the feet, but the nail technician
has to be very careful not to cut the cuticle, because infection can be
transmitted very easily in diabetics.
I recommend having a pedicure once a month (at least!)
