COMPLIMENTARY KERATIN TREATMENT
A keratin treatment protects and repairs weak or damaged nails—whether the damage is natural, the result of using low-quality products during a manicure, or caused by aggressive removal techniques for semi-permanent polish, such as using an electric file or harsh acetone.
It also serves as an excellent strengthening treatment for nails that will be exposed to challenging conditions—such as seawater or swimming pool water during the summer—or simply as a maintenance step for those who get regular manicures.
The keratin is applied as a base coat during the manicure process—after the cuticles have been tidied (in a full manicure) or after the previous polish has been removed (in an express or essential manicure)—and must be cured under an LED lamp, just like any other manicure base coat. You can then apply either regular polish (which can be removed at home) or semi-permanent polish over it; however, the keratin base itself should always be removed by a professional.
At Nails&Friends, we recommend using the keratin base as a maintenance treatment at least once every three manicures. It is a very affordable way to achieve healthy, strong nails, which also helps your manicure stay in perfect condition for longer. You can book an appointment at any of our Nails&Friends salons via the LINK on our website.
