Top Tips from Alexandra’s Chair

Apply cuticle oil every day.

Healthy cuticles help support healthy nail growth.

Wear gloves when cleaning to protect your nails from harsh chemicals and excess water.

Don’t use your nails as tools. Opening cans or scratching labels is a quick way to cause lifting or breaks.

Moisturise your hands daily. Your skin and nails will thank you.

Avoid picking or peeling gel or BIAB. It can remove layers of your natural nail.

Book regular maintenance appointments instead of waiting until your nails are damaged.

If a nail chips or lifts, get in touch. A quick repair is much better than leaving it.

Keep your nails at a length that suits your lifestyle. Longer isn’t always better.

Healthy nails are a journey, not an overnight fix. Consistency is key.

If you’re unsure which treatment to choose, ask. I’ll always recommend what’s best for your nails, not simply the most expensive option.

Looking after your nails at home is just as important as your salon appointment.

Your hands are one of the first things people notice. A little regular care goes a long way.
