Pre-treatment Advice
If you currently have Gel polish on please ensure you book a Gel removal or have the Gel polish removed prior to your appointment.
Aftercare Advice
Always remove your Gel polish properly. The Jessica Gel removal home kit is available to purchase in salon or we also offer a nail removal service.
Do NOT pick or peel the gel as this can damage the natural nail.
Avoid heat such as a bath, shower, sauna, steam room or even hot ovens for 4 hours after your treatment.
Wear gloves when washing up or cleaning
Do not file your nails in between appointments as this will break the seal of the gel and can lead to lifting.
Apply Jessica Phenomen Oil once or twice a day to the cuticles to prolong the life of your Gels.
Do not use your nails as tools, this will lead to chips and breaks
