Treatment Recommendations

• In order to avoid damage and to maintain your natural nails, it is recommended to make an appointment every two/three weeks for maintenance.
• Gels should not be removed by the client as this can result in damage to the natural nail. Professional and safe removal of gel nails are offered either with the reapplication of a new set of gels, or with removal and tidy or mini manicure & conditioning treatment.
• Retail products to complement your treatments are available such as Homecare packs, hand cream, cuticle oil, files, matching nail polishes to the gel colours and more. All retail products are compatible with Bio Sculpture Gels.
