Essential Nail Care Practices for Healthy, Strong Nails

Maintaining healthy nails involves more than just occasional manicures. Daily care practices make all the difference in nail strength and appearance. Here are our top recommendations: Keep nails properly hydrated by applying cuticle oil daily, especially before bed. Avoid using your nails as tools - this prevents breakage and splitting. Wear gloves when doing household chores to protect nails from harsh chemicals. File nails in one direction rather than sawing back and forth, which can cause splitting. Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet rich in biotin, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids to support nail health from within.

Professional nail care at Jade Fingertips complements your at-home routine perfectly. During your appointments, our technicians assess your nail health and provide personalized recommendations. We use only high-quality, nourishing products that strengthen rather than damage your nails. Between salon visits, maintain your manicure by applying a fresh top coat every few days to extend wear and add shine. If you notice any changes in your nail texture, color, or growth patterns, consult with our team - sometimes nail changes can indicate underlying health issues. Regular professional manicures combined with consistent home care create the perfect balance for maintaining beautiful, healthy nails year-round.
