Nail breaks can be so painful, especially when it continues to catch on clothes, hair and fabric.

Using a small piece of silk and overlaying with gel polish can hold the break together until it has the opportunity to grow out.

You can add a silk repair to your appointment for $4, just select 'Individual Silk Repair'

Drop me a message if you're unsure if this service is right for you 💜
