Beautiful, strong nails are more than just a fashion statement—they’re a sign of good health and proper care. Whether you're a polish enthusiast or a minimalist, knowing how to take care of your nails is essential. At our Beverly Hills nail salon, we’ve seen it all, and we’re here to share our top do’s and don’ts, bust common nail myths, and guide you toward healthy nail growth.
Moisture can harbor bacteria and lead to infections. Always dry your hands and nails thoroughly after washing, and avoid prolonged exposure to water.
Use cuticle oil or a hand cream daily. Hydrated cuticles protect the nail matrix and promote healthier, faster nail growth.
Regular trimming and gentle filing help prevent breakage and painful snags. Always file in one direction to avoid weakening the nail’s structure.
Let your nails breathe! Going polish-free for a few days every couple of weeks can prevent yellowing and brittleness.
Many people unknowingly damage their nails by using harsh acetone-based polish removers, which strip away natural oils and cause dryness. Skipping base and top coats can lead to staining and shorten the life of your manicure. Additionally, neglecting proper cuticle care—like cutting instead of gently pushing them back—can compromise the nail’s natural protective barrier.
Your nails aren’t screwdrivers or bottle openers. Avoid using them to open cans, peel labels, or scratch surfaces—this leads to chipping and splitting.
Overdoing it can thin out the nail plate, making your nails weak and more susceptible to damage.
Nail biting is more than a bad habit—it introduces bacteria and can permanently damage the nail bed.
Always see a professional for removal. Peeling or scraping can take layers of your natural nail off, causing serious long-term harm.
At our Beverly Hills nail salon, we don’t just focus on aesthetics—we prioritize the health and strength of your natural nails. Whether you're dealing with brittle nails or just want to keep your manicure game strong, our expert technicians are here to guide you every step of the way.
