What are the different services offered at nail salons?

I know about your standard manicure, pedicure, fills, acrylics. But what are gels, and the different types of wraps, and anything else that can be done to your nails?What are the different services offered at nail salons?
Hi there





Gel is still acrylic, but is applied in a slightly different way. Acrylic L%26amp;P hardens as it is applied. Gel needs to be 'cured' under a UV lamp to harden it but essentially they are the same thing.





Wraps are acrylic silk wraps where they prepare your nail and apply a small piece of silk wrap directly to your nail then apply acrylic over the top. This isn't a common way to do acrylic anymore although I believe there are still Nail Techs who offer this service.





Minx Nail Armour is a fantastic way to glam up your nails but is relatively new and I think I am the only person in my town who offers these. They have been worn by Beyonce and the like and come in a range of patterns and colors.





Minx is a type of foil covering which is applied directly to either your natural nail, or enhancements if you have them, then warmed up under a heat lamp to make them stay. They can last for weeks but last longer on toes.





You can have your nails piereced too, although I don't do this as it's not commonly asked for.
