What makes a great nail salon, and how to keep your manicure looking fresh for longer.
What to look for in a nail salon
Clean tools, a calm environment and technicians who take time with cuticle care and shaping. A good salon will ask about your lifestyle before suggesting regular polish, gel or extensions.
Manicure or gel?
A classic manicure is ideal for regular upkeep. Gel polish lasts much longer without chipping, which makes it a favourite before travel, weddings and busy weeks.
Don't forget your feet
A pedicure softens skin, tidies nails and leaves feet feeling light. It is especially welcome in Karachi's warm weather when open shoes are the norm.
Make it last
Wear gloves for cleaning, moisturise cuticles daily and avoid using nails as tools. Book a refill or removal rather than peeling gel off yourself.
