Manicure Maintenance: Keeping Your Nails Salon-Fresh
There’s nothing like the feeling of stepping out of the salon with a fresh set of flawless nails. But how do you keep that polished look going strong after you leave the chair? At Color Room Salon & Day Spa in Dyer, IN, we believe your manicure should look just as fabulous on Day 10 as it did on Day 1. Here's our tips and advice on how to make that mani last.
1. Hydration Is Your BFF
Dry hands and cuticles are a manicure’s worst enemy. Apply cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished and prevent hangnails or peeling. Pair it with a rich hand cream (we’ve got some favorites in the spa!) to lock in moisture and maintain that glossy finish.
2. Gloves, Please!
Doing dishes? Cleaning? Working outside? Always wear gloves. Water and harsh chemicals can cause polish to lift or chip. Protect your investment with a quick glove grab - your nails will thank you, we can promise you that.
3. Top It Off
Adding a clear top coat every few days helps maintain shine and strengthens the polish barrier. We recommend a quick-drying, high-gloss formula!
4. Avoid These Nail Mistakes
Don’t use your nails as tools (we see you opening packages with your index finger!!!).
Skip long soaks in hot water, which can cause lifting.
And whatever you do… no peeling your polish off - it damages the nail bed!
5. Book Smart
Regular maintenance keeps your nails healthy and beautiful. Schedule fills, gel polish refreshes, pedicures, or manicures every 2–3 weeks to stay ahead of chips and breakage. Not sure when to come in? Ask your nail tech here at Color Room Salon & Day Spa, she knows what she’s talking about!
