Firstly, you need to understand the difference between the types of manicure treatments. Each treatment has its own pros and cons and will ultimately determine the level of maintenance you can manage. For example, a gel manicure typically last two weeks before you start seeing regrowth and need a soak off. You can’t have this refilled and would need a new set.
