Rebalance

The tip & overlay service has reached its 3-5-week milestone, and at this point the growth is noticeable enough to see through the nail, revealing the natural nail in the space between the pink application and the white tip. In this demonstration, John Hauk showcases the meticulous process of removing and refining the nail using an efile. This technique enables the artit to create a fresh smile line. This service offers the advantage of renewing the nails without the need for complete product removal or the application of a new nail tip.
