How to maintain the health of clients nails in the cold season: Tips for manicurists
With the onset of autumn and winter, nails require special care. Cold, dry air and sudden temperature changes can negatively affect the condition of the nail plate and the skin of the hands. Manicurists should help their clients prepare for these changes so that nails remain strong and healthy even in the coldest season. Here are some tips to help you ensure your clients' nails look perfect.
- Moisturizing is the key to healthy nails
In winter, nails, like the skin of the hands, tend to dry out due to exposure to cold air and low indoor humidity. Encourage your clients to use cuticle moisturizers and oils. Jojoba oil, coconut or almond oil are good for nourishing and softening the cuticle. You can also offer treatments using nourishing masks for hands and nails in your salon.
- Vitamins and balanced nutrition
The health of nails largely depends on the general condition of the body. In winter, you should pay attention to vitamins that help strengthen nails. Vitamins A, E, D, as well as biotin (vitamin B7) will help maintain the strength of nails and accelerate their growth. Advise your clients to add nuts, eggs, fish and greens to their diet.
- Proper protection of nails from the cold
Often, clients forget that nails, like skin, need protection from cold air. Advise to wear gloves in frosty weather to avoid drying and brittle nails. This is a simple but very effective habit that will help keep your hands and nails healthy.
- Nail coating and care
Choose base coats with additional moisturizing and strengthening components. For example, gels with vitamins and keratin, which will help protect the nail plate from damage and delamination. The use of such coatings will preserve the healthy appearance of nails even with frequent application of gel polish.
- Prevention of brittle nails
Brittle nails are one of the most common problems in the cold season. Offer clients special procedures to strengthen the nail plate, for example, paraffin therapy or hot manicure using oils. Such procedures improve blood circulation and help better absorb nutrients.
- Regular care in the salon
Remind clients of the importance of regular nail care in the salon. Even in winter, when you want to curl up at home, professional care will help preserve the beauty and health of your nails. Offer special winter hand and nail care packages that include moisturizing and protective treatments.
- Protection against chemicals
The cold season is often accompanied by an increase in the use of household chemicals for cleaning. Advise clients to use gloves when handling aggressive substances, as chemicals can further dry out nails and skin on hands.
Nail care in the autumn-winter period requires attention and a comprehensive approach. Advise clients to follow these simple rules to maintain the beauty and health of their nails in any weather. After all, happy clients with strong nails are the key to the success of your salon!
