If you’ve ever wondered why nail techs panic when the UK gets a heatwave… this is why 😂☀️

Most salons don’t have air conditioning.

Most gels are designed to work in much temperatures than 30°C+ meaning when it’s sweltering, they’re impossible to work with 💧

Add in lamps, dust extractors and a few people in a small room and some salons become actual ovens.

When gel gets too warm it becomes runnier, harder to control, more likely to flood the skin and generally doesn’t behave how it’s supposed to.

The UK simply isn’t designed for heatwaves.

So if you’re a nail tech and you need to move clients, reduce your hours, work earlier, work later, or just rearrange appointments until it’s cooler, do it.

No set of nails is worth heatstroke or spending 3 hours fighting with gel that has the consistency of water 😭💅🏼🔥

heatwave • nail tech life • salon life • builder gel • BIAB • gel nails • beauty business • small business owner • working in the heat • UK summer ☀️💅🏼🔥
