Treatment Procedure
Step #1: Nail Preparation
- Sanitise your hands.
- Request the clients to sanitise their hands.
- Ensure the tools are sterlised.
- Use the cuticle pusher to push back the cuticles.
- Use E-File for the next step, check the
E-File Application guide. - Trim the extra cuticles with the nippers.
- File the nails using 100/180/240 grit File and shape the nails.
- Gently buff the nails using the Buffer and remove any shine.
- Dry and cleanse the nail plate using pure acetone.
(Note: No need to use ‘prep-and-wipe’ or ‘scrub-fresh’ solutions to cleanse).
Step #2: First Layer
- Apply an even coat of clear Rubber base or BIAB to the natural nail.
- Cure it using the LED lamp for 90 seconds.
(Note: If the customer experiences a ‘heat spike’, politely ask them to remove the nails from the lamp for a second and replace them back.)
Step #3: Second Layer
- Apply a drop of BIAB in the nails then, spread it side to side and dragging away from the cuticle area.
(Note: Avoid thick build-up around the free edge and the cuticle area.) - Apply a medium bead of BIAB, drag it away from the cuticle area and spread it from side to side.
- Avoid thick build up around the free edge of the cuticle area.
- Use a liner brush to perfect the cuticle and side walls.
- After building and curing one nail, turn the hand over to create the apex.
- Seal the free edge.
- Build and cure one nail at a time.
- Cure it using the LED lamp for 90 seconds.
Step #4: Refine
- Dip the lint free wipes in the cleaner and wipe the nails.
- Remove the tacky layer with acetone or cleaner.
- Refine the nail using the 100/180 grit file.
(Note: Concentrate on reducing the product around the cuticle area and the free edge to create a smooth surface.) - Gently buff the nails using the Nail Buffer.
Step #5: Top Coat
- Apply the Extreme Shine Top Coat or Matte Top Coat based on the client’s preference, and seal the free edge.
- Cure it using the LED lamp for 90 seconds.
(Note: No need to wipe or cleanse after curing since, all top coats are non-wipe). - Apply a small amount of cuticle essence/oil to the cuticle area to moisturise them.
What if?
- The client has Diabetics: Recommend them to remove the BIAB in 2-3 weeks.
- The BIAB lifting up from the nail: Use the Rubber Base under the BIAB for extra protection.
- Fire Alarm rings; STOP the service immediately and guide the client to the fire exit. Continue when it is safe to return, if in case you are unable to complete the treatmet, let the supervisor know and record the notes under clients profile in the booking system.
- Client is unhappy with the treatment; Review if you have missed anything. Explain client about the process and Remember to complete with the After pictures
- There’s a bleeding; Use the disposable blood styptic stick to stop the bleeding.
