Nail Art Options

• Arrive with bare nails

• Book a removal beforehand if needed.

• Leave it to us – Avoid excessive nail filing before your appointment.

• We’re here to help – Share any concerns about nail weakness or breakage with your technician.

• Avoid heavy exfoliation on the hands prior to your appointment.

• “Jewels not tools” as tempting as it is, don’t use your nails to pick or scrape, to prevent lifting, breakage or damage.

• Apply cuticle oil daily to add moisture and encourage flexibility.

• If using gel, BIAB or acrylics, schedule regular infills or reapplications every 2–4 weeks for best results and prevent nail breakages.

• Wear gloves when cleaning or using chemicals.

To ensure the safety, quality, and longevity of your manicure, please review the following restrictions before booking:

• Manicure treatments cannot be carried out on broken skin, open cuts, infections, or inflamed areas around the nails or hands.

• Clients with fungal nail infections, nail disorders, or suspected nail diseases must seek medical advice before booking any nail treatment.

• We are unable to perform manicure treatments on nails that are severely damaged, excessively thin, or compromised due to incorrect removal or over-processing.

• Gel, BIAB, builder, acrylic, and acrylgel services require nails to be in a suitable condition. If the natural nail is too weak or damaged, your therapist may recommend an alternative treatment or a strengthening service such as IBX.

• Manicures cannot be performed if there is evidence of allergic reactions to nail products, gels, acrylics, or adhesives unless previously assessed and confirmed safe.

• Clients who are pregnant, undergoing medical treatment, or have medical conditions that may affect the nails or skin should inform their therapist prior to treatment.

• We do not recommend nail enhancements for clients who habitually bite or pick their nails, as this can affect results and retention.

• For hygiene and safety reasons, we cannot apply products over existing enhancements from another salon unless booked with a full professional removal.

• The therapist reserves the right to refuse or modify a treatment if it is deemed unsafe or unsuitable on the day of your appointment.

By booking a manicure at S&T Beauty, you confirm that your nails and hands are free from contraindications and that you have read and understood the above restrictions. This allows us to provide you with the best possible results while maintaining the health of your natural nails.
