- Be sure you do not have open cuts on your hands to prevent infection.
- Check with your salon or spa to make sure they sterilize equipment and tools for each client or bring your own tools with you.
- To keep your manicure looking fresh, moisturize your hands daily.
- If you get a smudge or chip early on, return to the salon as most places offer touch ups free of charge.
- Pay before you paint: most places will ask you to pay prior to polishing to avoid smudging.
