Shellac manicure inexpensively and quickly: the best options and tips for nail care

In this publication, we will familiarize you with the various options where it is possible to get a shellac manicure - inexpensively and quickly, regardless of the importance of location or finding a permanent master.

If you need to update your manicure in a hurry, there are several options that we are about to explore.

Getting into prestigious nail studios day in and day out is often problematic - appointments need to be made a week in advance, and sometimes even longer. However, there are ways around this difficulty:

1. Consider making an appointment with a private handyman. These professionals often have an open window for regular clients. If you don't have a regular, a private appointment may be easier than a salon appointment, as they usually have fewer clients and fewer appointments. If the master refuses to take you for an appointment, try offering a higher price for urgency.
2. Make calls to small beauty studios. Independent mini-salons usually have a small circle of clients, so they do not have such a busy appointment for several days in advance. These places may employ novice or non-professional masters, but if you need a simple correction, almost any master will be able to handle this task.

If you want to supplement your nail care, here are some tips:

• Experiment with nail designs. Instead of just covering with one color, try adding multiple shades to create unique gradients or accents. You can also use rhinestones, stickers or other elements to create an original and memorable design.
• Take care of the health of your nails. Regularly moisturize and nourish the cuticle, using special oils or creams. Avoid frequent use of gel or acrylic to prevent your nails from weakening. Increase your knowledge about proper nail care to keep your nails beautiful and healthy.
• Use natural remedies to strengthen your nails. Coconut oil, olive oil, and vitamin E can be great options for strengthening and improving nail health. Apply a small amount of your chosen product to your nails and massage them for a few minutes to improve circulation and stimulate growth.
• Remember to be careful when wearing and removing artificial nails. Proper wearing and removal of gel or acrylic nails will help avoid damage to your natural nails. Follow the instructions of the specialist and do not try to remove the artificial coating yourself to avoid trouble.

Of course, for such an exclusive service will require a small surcharge, about 50% of the cost of the manicure, as well as the payment of a cab for the master to get to you and back.

When you choose your regular handyman

Choosing a salon or a private specialist has its own peculiarities, regardless of who you go for. The selection criteria in both cases are similar, and it is important to consider several factors.

First of all, it is recommended to study examples of works of the selected master or salon. Assess how tightly the nail coating adheres to the cuticle. Pay attention to the shape of the nails - it should be the same and correspond to your preferences. Also pay attention to the possible presence of bubbles. If you conceive a complex design, for example, a drawing with thin lines, make sure that the portfolio has such photos. The lack of examples of work in the master's profile on social networks or on the website may indicate a lack of experience.

An equally important step is reading reviews. Pay attention to the coincidences in the reviews. For example, if all reviews note the politeness of the staff or the handyman, this is a good sign. However, if you notice negative reviews without specifics, such as "The handyman is rude," it may just be unfounded customer complaints.

If you find that negative points in reviews are repeated from one customer to another, this should make you wary. For example, several people note that they had to pay more than they were originally told. If this is the case, there is a risk that you may be cheated on the price point as well. Keep in mind that nail studios and masters will not post negative reviews on their own website or on social media, so it is recommended to research reviews on independent platforms or service aggregator services.

Be vigilant when a master or salon uses fake reviews with photos of clients that are obviously stock photos. If you see typical phrases like "Best quality at affordable prices, I recommend it to everyone!", this could be a bad sign. Professionals usually have real positive reviews and don't need to deceive their audience.

It is also recommended to pay attention to the presence of certificates and diplomas. Although their presence is not a guarantee of a perfect manicure with shellac coating, it is likely that a master who has undergone training, participated in competitions and master classes, will do a better job compared to a beginner. If you sign up in the salon, pay attention to the name of the master on the diploma and tell the administrator, to which particular master you want to get.

In addition to the above criteria, it is important to take into account your own preferences. Communicate with the master or a representative of the salon, express your expectations and clarify all the details to be sure of the right choice. Remember that your comfort and satisfaction are the main priorities in the process of choosing a master or salon for manicure.
