Gel manicures often get blamed for peeling, brittle, or damaged nails — but the truth is, gel itself isn’t the problem. In this article, we explain the real causes of nail damage during removal and curing, and share how Atelier Anaiis’ Signature Foundation Manicure uses gel as protection, leading your natural nails to become healthier with every appointment.

Hangnails may seem small, but left untreated they can lead to pain, infection, and short-lived manicures. At our Philadelphia nail salon, every gel manicure begins with careful hangnail and cuticle treatment—because nail health is the true foundation of lasting beauty.

From fewer hangnails to stronger, longer-lasting manicures, discover why this service is essential to everything we do at Atelier Anaiis.
