What should clients be advised to avoid after nail services to prolong the effects?

Advising clients to avoid water exposure after nail services is crucial for prolonging the effects of the treatment. Water can interfere with the integrity of nail enhancements, such as polish, gel, or acrylic. When nails are exposed to water, especially immediately after a service, the moisture can cause products to lift, chip, or weaken, leading to a shorter lifespan of the manicure or pedicure.

By keeping nails dry for a period after the service, clients help ensure that the enhancements adhere properly and maintain their desired appearance. This advice is particularly important after services like gel manicures, where the curing process can be compromised by water exposure.
