About event nails

How many days before an event should I get gel nails?

One to three days before. The manicure looks fresh on the day, and you still have time to go back if a nail chips or lifts.

Can I get new acrylics on the day of the event?

It's better not to. Get acrylics or extensions two to three days before, so any lifting, soreness or length problem shows up while there is time to fix it.

How early should I book the salon?

About two weeks ahead is a good default. Popular times around holidays and wedding season can fill sooner, so book earlier then.
