Dos & Don’ts of Nail Extensions in Auckland’s Climate

Auckland’s humidity, rain, and constant handwashing can affect the longevity of nail extensions.Here are Satomi’s recommended dos and don’ts to keep them strong.

Do: Keep Them Dry for the First 24 Hours

Even though extensions cure instantly under LED, giving them a day without long hot showers or prolonged water exposure helps the structure settle.

Don’t: Skip Regular Infill Appointments

Extensions grow out with your natural nail.Infill every 2–3 weeks keeps them:

• balanced

• strong

• less prone to breakage

This is especially important for CBD professionals who rely on neat presentation.

Do: File Gently if You Snag an Edge

You can lightly smooth a corner at home — but avoid cutting or peeling.Satomi can repair small issues quickly if you book a short maintenance slot.

Don’t: Use Extensions That Are Too Long for Your Lifestyle

The right length is the most important factor.Satomi often says:

“Nails should suit your life, not fight against it.”

Shorter, structured extensions look elegant and handle Auckland’s busy pace.

For structured, strong extensions near High Street and Queen Street, Satomi’s builder-gel technique keeps them neat for weeks.
