Nail Care Tips for Dubai
- Gel is ideal for Dubai’s climate — Regular polish chips quickly in Dubai’s heat. Gel or shellac manicures last significantly longer and maintain their finish despite air conditioning and humidity changes.
- Hydrate your cuticles — Dubai’s dry climate takes a toll on cuticles and skin. Ask your salon to include a hydrating treatment with your manicure.
- Book nail art in advance — Intricate nail art requires significantly more time than standard manicures. Always book nail art appointments in advance and share your design references beforehand.
