  • Aftercare for Acrylic Nails

    Acrylic Nails remain a firm favourite in nail grooming, but making sure you are reciting good aftercare advice is what will help keep your clients regular.

  • Keeping acrylic nails immaculate can be easily done by offering the following aftercare advise.
  • Being a lady of leisure is purely justified by your acrylic nails. Knocking your nails can damage or tear off acrylics, which can be painful and drastically affect the health of your nails. acrylic nails should not damage the natural nail, unless they are pulled off, therefore it is vital to the health of your nails not to do anything too strenuous.
  • Advise client to be gentle with their acrylic nails for the first 24-48 hours after they are applied. Although Liquid & Powder Acrylic Nails dries in minutes, they are not very strong until the bonding process has been completed. Oxygen can hinder the speed of the drying process so by using a cuticle oil, you help seal the nails, speeding up the curing process.
  • Always advise clients to remove their nails correctly with Acetone. Clients may be able to pull off their nail, but they will certainly damage the health and quality of their natural nail.
  • Advise clients not to use moisturiser, sun cream or tanning products which contain Lanolin or Mineral Oil. These will cause Acrylics to weaken and ‘lift’.
  • If there are any signs of lifting or damage to the nails it is important to advise your client to speak to you as soon as possible. Water and bacteria can accumulate under lifted nails and the effects are not very nice.
  • Finally, always advise clients to have their infills or re-balance done regularly to keep their acrylic nails looking perfectly immaculate.
  • Nail Aftercare Service

  • In the event you chip your nails within three days after lacquering (four days for gel polish), please report this with a photo to info@focusbeautysalon.com and we will offer you a free touch-up on the effected nails within seven days. Outside this period there will be a small fee, please refer to price list.
  • ​SNS Nail Enhancements / Entensions

  • To ensure that your nails are always at their best you need to return to your nail technician for regular maintenance appointments, every 2-3 weeks for your rebalance. At each appointment you can choose between natural gel (just pink) French (pink & white) or permanent coloured gel.
  • NB: for your own comfort and nail health you should never perform removal of nail enhancements.
  • A qualified nail professional, for health and safety reasons, must remove extensions.
  • You can paint polish over your nails. However, always use a NON-Acetone based nail polish remover.
  • To prolong the look of your nails

  • Wear protective gloves when washing up, gardening and housework.
  • Please dry your hands thoroughly after getting them wet.
  • Use cuticle oil regularly, especially at night and use a good hand cream.
  • Your nails should be treated as jewels not tools!
  • Don’t pick or bite around the cuticles, this will cause lifting and damage your nails.
  • If lifting occurs, do not pick the gel. Instead, return to your nail technician for professional maintenance and repair, please note individual nail replacements are available between rebalances (infill). Please note there is an appointment charge for nail repairs.
  • Follow the advice of your nail technician. If you have any questions or problems regarding your nail enhancements, always contact a Focus Beauty Salon technician.
  • Gelish

  • Use cuticle oil regularly – rub it all around your cuticle and onto the nail itself. Use at least twice daily (on your toes as well as fingers), this keeps your nails supple but strong and nourishes them. You can buy small bottles of cuticle oil from Focus Beauty that last a long time.
  • Avoid hand creams containing lanolin as these may cause the product to lift as will extensive use of alcohol cleansing gels.
  • Wear rubber gloves when using cleaning products and washing up. You should do this anyway even if you don’t have anything on your nails, as chemicals are very harsh to the skin and soaking nails in water is often damaging to them.
  • Wear gloves when gardening/decorating.
  • Do not pick, cut, file or bite your nails. This will not only damage the product, but could harm your natural nails. Once the ‘seal’ of the Gelish is broken it becomes vulnerable to breaking and lift.
  • If you have been heavy handed and damaged your Gelish gel nail polish (it is not infallible!) you can make an appointment to have it repaired, please book a gelish nail replacement appointment. Please note there is an appointment charge for nail repairs.
  • Always have the product removed professionally to avoid any natural nail damage. Peeling or picking Gelish from your nails will remove a couple of layers of nail with it too.
  • Avoid intense heat for 24 hours after application, so don’t use a sauna or sunbed as it may cause heat spikes on your gel nails, and will fade your colour!
  • Always wash your hands, nails and cuticles carefully after applying sun cream and self tanning lotions. Some makes of sun cream contain ingredients , which if left, will impair your Gelish colour possibly making it fade. Gelish is porous. Self tanning lotion, hair colour and other products containing colour will discolour your Gelish. Please note that discoloured Gelish is not subject to rework.
  • Manicure and Pedicure

  • Leave adequate time after your treatment to allow your nails to dry before leaving.
  • For pedicures wear open toe shoes.
  • Do not use your nails as tools.
  • To prolong the life of your varnish, wear protective gloves when washing up, gardening and housework.
  • Massage cuticles with cuticle oil and use a good quality hand cream daily.
  • Use non-acetone based varnish remover.
  • Waxing

  • Please note: A small amount of soreness, small bumps and redness can occur after waxing, especially if it is your first wax. Symptoms will naturally subside over the next 24-48 hours. If you experience persistent redness or irritation, apply a cold compress. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on 0203 583 6860.
  • A small amount of re-growth after a week or so is normal as it can take up to 4 treatments for your hair growth cycle to get to the right stage to give you the best results.
  • Maintenance is the key to a great smooth result:
  • To prevent ingrown hairs: starting a few days after your appointment, gently scrub the skin 3 times a week in the bath or shower using a loofah or exfoliating mitt. Also moisturise the area every day, which will keep the skin supple and help new hairs to grow through normally.
  • Please note we reserve the right to refuse treatments; disrespect and rudeness towards Focus Beauty Salon staff will not be tolerated.
  • Focus Beauty Salon reserve the right to amend Terms and Conditions as and when it is considered necessary to do so. Reasonable notice will be given for this.
  • Before your appointment, please make sure your hair is at least 1⁄2 cm long before the hairs can be successfully removed and please do not shave between your appointments. To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular waxing every 4-6 weeks.
  • Keep the waxed area clean and avoid heat and friction during the 24-48 hours after your appointment. We recommend that during this time you:
  • Avoid HOT baths or showers.
  • Avoid steam treatments e.g. saunas or hot tubs.
  • Avoid tanning e.g. Sunbeds or Fake Tan.
  • Avoid sport, gym work or other exercise.
  • Completely avoid touching the treated area with unwashed hands.
  • Wear clean, loose fitting clothes.
  • Completely avoid swimming.
  • ​Do not apply deodorants, body sprays, powders, lotions or other products to the area, other than those recommended by your Focus Beauty Therapist.
  • To soothe and protect the skin, apply an antiseptic cream or Aloe Vera product to the waxed area regularly for 3 days following your treatment.
  • You may notice a small amount of re-growth after a week or so. It can take up to 4 treatments for your hair to get on a growth cycle that gives best results.
  • Eyelash Tinting

    For allergy purposes a patch test will be necessary 24 hours before treatment. Although we are persistent in making sure there is no trace of tint remaining, this can sometimes happen. If it does, use a wet cotton pad to remove any excess that may have remained on the area.

  • Don’t rub your eyes.
  • Avoid heat treatments for 24 – 48 HOURS.
  • Avoid Tanning e.g. sunbeds/sunbathing for 24- 48 hours, as this fades the tint.
  • Please avoid putting your contact lenses back in for 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid applying make-up and avoid any other eye treatments for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
  • Eyelash Extensions

    Allergic reactions to our professional Lash Perfect products are rare. However, if you experience soreness, swelling or puffy eyes take an anti-histamine (as long as you are not allergic to anti-histamine or any other ingredients in the product) and call Focus Beauty on 0203 583 6860 to discuss.

  • Avoid exposing Professional Lash Perfect Eyelash Extensions to water for 12-24 hours after the application. If washing the face, use care and avoid splashing water or cleaner in the eye area.
  • DO NOT swim, shower, use hot tubs, or steam rooms for the first 12-24 hours.
  • Avoid contact between moisturisers, eye creams, or makeup removers and the Professional Lash Perfect Eyelash Extensions. Any cosmetic product or cleanser containing glycols, organic solvents, or urea should be avoided. Products such as these can potentially break down the adhesive bond and shorten the duration of time the extensions stay on. Products with high concentrations of alcohol should also be avoided.
  • If you feel you need mascara use only Professional Lash Perfect approved water-soluble mascara on your eyelash extensions. Waterproof mascara should NOT be used. Note that repeated use of any mascara, including Professional Lash Perfect mascara may shorten the lifespan of Professional Lash Perfect Eyelash Extensions.
  • Curling of Professional Lash Perfect Eyelash Extensions is not recommended. Because the extensions come pre-curled, additional curling is not necessary and doing so may shorten the lifespan of the extensions by compromising the adhesive bond.
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your extensions. Any action which repeatedly puts stress or strain on your Professional Lash Perfect Eyelash Extensions will cause them to come off prematurely.
  • Eyelashes are normally shed on a regular basis, thus multiple extensions may be lost on any given day.
  • Visit your technician for touch-ups every 3-4 weeks.
