QuestionI am a hair stylist and recently got acrylic nails, coloring hair all day long can
sometimes leave my nails a brownish color and I was wondering if there are
any home remedies for this or what I can do?
Thanks
AnswerDear Bree,
One option is to request of your technician that she apply a Uv top coat or UV Gel sealant over your nails to protect them from staining.
Another alternative is to switch to UV Gel (beware of salons falsely claiming that they have uv gel, uv gel contains NO POWDER WHATSOEVER)
OR apply 2 coats of clear polish the night before work, then remove those same 2 coats of clear when you get home so that the tint dyes the polish and not the nail enhancement.
However, if you do not wear gloves while working with dyes and tints, it's nearly unavoidable to have stains on your nails from the tints.
You could try a paste with baking soda and lemon juice, scrub it in, and let sit, then rinse off.
Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards.
