What should clients be instructed to do after a nail service?

Clients should be instructed to keep their nails dry for 24 hours after a nail service because doing so allows the products used during the service, such as polish or enhancements, to cure properly. Moisture can interfere with the adhesion and longevity of nail products, potentially leading to lifting or chipping. By keeping the nails dry, clients help ensure the durability of their manicure or pedicure.

In contrast, applying more polish immediately could cause smudging or prevent the initial layer from curing effectively. Continuing to use regular household cleaners without protection can expose the nails to harsh chemicals, which may damage the applied products. Lastly, removing all nail enhancements right after a service is unnecessary and goes against the goal of enjoying the benefits of the treatment. Therefore, keeping nails dry post-service is the most advantageous instruction for clients.
