About Nails

Nail services are done by trained nail technicians who shape, polish and decorate the nails of the hands and feet. A nail business may offer a quick polish change, a longer manicure or pedicure, or nail art for an occasion. Most are walk-in friendly, and many also take appointments.

At a visit you choose a service and a colour, wash your hands and settle into a chair. The technician files and shapes the nails, tends to the cuticles, applies the product and finishes with a top coat. A simple manicure often takes about half an hour, while longer services take noticeably more time.

To compare businesses, look at the services they list, how they describe their cleaning routine and whether they state that their technicians are licensed, which most states require. Pictures of their own work show their style. Check opening hours, particularly on weekends when many are busy.

Before you book, ask how long the service takes, what the price range is for the service you want and whether you need to bring anything. Mention any allergy to nail products. Ask how tools are cleaned between customers, and how to look after your nails at home.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between a manicure and a pedicure?

A manicure is care for the hands and fingernails, and a pedicure is care for the feet and toenails. Many businesses offer both, and often as a combined appointment.

What is the difference between regular and gel polish?

Gel polish is set under a lamp, so it dries at once and tends to stay on for longer than regular polish. It is removed in a separate step. Ask the business which products it uses.

How do I know a nail business is clean?

Look at how it describes its cleaning of tools and footbaths, check that technicians hold the licence your state requires and notice how the shop looks. You can ask how tools are cleaned between customers.

Do I need an appointment?

Many nail businesses welcome walk-ins, and some prefer appointments for longer services. Look at how each business states its booking rules and ask about busy times.

What should I do if I have an allergy?

Tell the technician before the service starts. Ask which products will be used and whether a patch test is advised. Ask your own health professional about any skin concern.
