Pre-Appointment Dos & Don’ts for the Best Results at Satomi Nails

To get the most out of your manicure at Satomi Nails, a few small habits make a big difference.Here’s what Satomi gently reminds her clients before each appointment.

Do: Arrive With Bare Nails (If Possible)

Old gel, peeling polish, or damaged cuticles require extra care.If you come with clean nails, Satomi can spend more time perfecting prep.

Don’t: Cut Your Cuticles at Home

Cutting too much — or cutting living skin — causes:

• swelling

• sensitivity

• uneven regrowth

Satomi handles everything with her e-file technique safely and precisely.

Do: Share Your Nail Goals Clearly

Whether it's:

• natural short gel

• structured extensions

• nail strengthening

• simple nail art…telling her your preference at the start helps set the perfect plan.

Don’t: Be Afraid to Ask Questions

Many clients worry about:

• lamp heat

• product ingredients

• extension strength

• shapingSatomi welcomes questions — she believes clarity creates trust.
