What should a technician recommend if nail enhancements begin to lift?

Recommending a maintenance appointment for a fill is appropriate when nail enhancements begin to lift for several reasons. Lifting can occur due to various factors like product application issues, moisture, or the growth of the natural nail. A fill allows the technician to address the area where lifting has occurred by removing any lifted product, cleaning the nail surface, and then reapplying the enhancement, ensuring a secure and aesthetically pleasing result.

This approach not only helps in preserving the integrity of the enhancements but also contributes to the overall health of the natural nails. Scheduling a proper maintenance appointment allows the technician to assess the situation, provide professional care, and prevent further issues that could lead to more significant problems, such as damage to the natural nail or infection.

In contrast, completely removing the enhancements may be excessive if the issue is only localized lifting that can be effectively managed with a fill. Applying a new coat of polish on lifted enhancements will not address the root cause of the problem and could worsen the lifting issue. Ignoring the lifting until the next appointment can lead to further complications and should be avoided for optimal nail health.
