Speak with Freshthe leading marketplace platform for beauty and wellness, Sami explained the new ‘dry manicure’ phenomenon that is taking social media by storm.

It aims to prevent nails from absorbing water and expanding, as is typical of traditional manicures.

Sami, nail expert at the Nail mafiasaid: “Dry manicures are becoming a real game-changer in the nail world and are certainly becoming more and more popular.”

“Traditionally, nails were soaked in water before a manicure to soften the cuticles.

“But what people don’t realize is that this causes the nails to absorb water and expand.

“Once they dry out, they shrink back to their original size, which can lead to chipping or flaking of the polish.”

By removing water from the process, dry manicures offer particular benefits for those with weaker nails.

Sami added: “Dry manicures eliminate this problem by skipping the water completely.

“Instead, the cuticles are softened with oils or creams, making the whole process much more controlled and precise.

“It is especially beneficial for clients with weaker or brittle nails, as soaking can sometimes cause further weakening.”

In addition to being gentler on your nails, a dry manicure can also improve the longevity of your nail polish.

“It [the polish] usually lasts longer because the nail plate remains stable,” Sami explains.

“It’s a more modern, health-conscious approach to manicures and is definitely growing in popularity.”

It comes after Sami revealed the annoying habit she hates in customers.

“While I understand the need to stay connected, excessive phone use or other distractions can interrupt the progress of the appointment and sometimes affect nail curing time,” she said.

“I prefer clients to be involved in the process and enjoy their dedicated time as this helps us get the most out of the session.

“After all, it’s their relaxation time, not phone time.

“When customers take too long to choose a color and keep changing their minds [is annoying too].

“It can disrupt the progress of the appointment and affect the overall timing.”

And she’s not afraid to give clients a trial period if they’re flaky.

She added: “Last-minute cancellations or no-shows can seriously impact my schedule and income, as they leave me little time to fill the space with another client.

“To manage this, I require a deposit to secure appointments and have a cancellation policy in place.

“If a client repeatedly cancels or no-shows, I place them on probation, which means they must pay the full amount before the next appointment to secure their commitment.”
