How often should proper maintenance of nail enhancements be performed?

Proper maintenance of nail enhancements, such as acrylics or gel nails, should be performed every 2 to 3 weeks. This timeframe is crucial because nail growth can create gaps between the natural nail and the enhancement, which can lead to lifting or breakage if not addressed promptly. Regular maintenance helps to ensure the longevity and appearance of the nail enhancements, keeping them looking fresh and polished.

During maintenance appointments, the technician can also check for any issues such as lifting, infection, or damage to the natural nail, allowing for timely adjustments. Waiting longer than this recommended timeframe can result in more extensive work needed during maintenance and potentially compromise the health of the natural nail.
