Is Nail Strengthening Right For You?

If your nails bend at the slightest touch or peel like layers of an onion, it is time to intervene. This treatment is the gym membership your nails desperately need, specifically designed to rebuild structure and resilience without the use of harsh chemicals.

The Post-Acrylic Recovery

Your natural nails feel paper-thin, sensitive, or rough after removing extensions or heavy gels.

The Chronic Peeler

You struggle to grow your nails past your fingertips because they constantly split or peel horizontally.

The Flexible Flyer

Your nails are naturally soft and bend easily, making everyday tasks difficult or causing painful snags.

Your Nail Strengthening Experience

From fragile to fortified in one relaxing session

Arrival & Assessment

When you arrive at Skin Lounge Spa, we start by examining the current state of your natural nails. We look for signs of dehydration, delamination, and thinning to determine which strengthening protocol suits your physiology best.

The Prep Work

We perform a meticulous, dry manicure to clean up the cuticle area without soaking the nail plate, as water can cause nails to expand and weaken the bond of the treatment. We gently buff the surface to remove ridges and prepare the keratin for reinforcement.

The Strengthening Application

Depending on your needs, we apply a penetrating toughening agent (like IBX) that fuses the nail layers together or a flexible builder gel overlay. This step adds immediate structural integrity, acting as a shield against daily wear and tear. If desired, a breathable color is applied on top.

Hydration & Aftercare

We finish with a nutrient-dense cuticle oil and a hand massage to stimulate blood flow to the matrix. You will leave with a custom maintenance plan to keep your nails strong between visits.

Typical Nail Strengthening Tiers

Tailored solutions for every level of damage

The Rescue Treatment

Designed for severely damaged nails, this tier utilizes a penetrating monomer system that fuses the upper layers of the nail plate together. It is invisible and works inside the nail, not just on top, making it perfect for those who want a natural look while growing out damage.

The Structure Overlay

Best for those who want immediate length retention and protection. We apply a semi-hard gel (often called BIAB or Builder in a Bottle) that adds a protective, shock-absorbing layer over your natural nail. It mimics the natural curve of the nail but prevents bending and breaking.

The Maintenance Boost

A lighter protein-rich treatment applied during a standard manicure. This is ideal for clients with relatively healthy nails who want to prevent future breakage and maintain their current length.

Add-Ons & Upgrade Requests

Collagen Hand Mask

Slip your hands into gloves infused with collagen and vitamin E to reverse signs of aging and deeply hydrate the skin while your nails are treated.

Paraffin Wax Dip

A warm, soothing wax treatment that locks in moisture and soothes stiff joints—perfect for relaxing after a long week.

Gel Polish Finish

Top off your strengthened nails with a long-lasting, high-shine gel color that adds an extra layer of protection.

Common Questions About Nail Strengthening

How often should I get a nail strengthening treatment?
For damaged nails, we recommend treatments every 2-3 weeks. Once your nail health is restored, you can switch to a maintenance schedule of once a month.
Will this help my nails grow longer?
Yes, indirectly. By preventing breakage, splitting, and peeling, your nails are able to retain their length as they grow out from the matrix.
Can I still wear nail polish with these treatments?
Absolutely. In fact, many strengthening treatments act as a superior base coat that helps polish adhere better and last longer.
Is the treatment painful?
Not at all. The treatment is non-intensive. Some clients may feel a slight warming sensation if a curing lamp is used, but it should never be painful.
What is the difference between acrylics and a builder gel overlay?
Acrylic is harder and more rigid, often requiring harsh chemicals to apply and remove. Builder gel is more flexible, moves with your natural nail to prevent snapping, and is generally healthier for the nail plate.
Can this fix a nail that has already split down the middle?
We can't fuse a split back together permanently, but we can use a silk wrap or structure gel to hold the nail together safely while the split grows out.
Do I need to take a break from strengthening treatments?
Generally, no. Unlike acrylics which can suffocate the nail if applied improperly, modern strengthening treatments are designed for continuous use to maintain health.
Is this safe for pregnant women?
Most strengthening treatments are safe, but we always recommend checking with your care provider. We offer non-toxic, 5-free, and HEMA-free options upon request.
How do I remove the strengthening product?
It depends on the product used. IBX penetrates the nail and does not need removal. Builder gels should be professionally soaked off or filed down to avoid damaging the regrowth.
Does this treat nail fungus?
No, this is a cosmetic and structural treatment. If we suspect a fungal infection, we will refer you to a external skincare professional and cannot perform the service until it clears.
