How often should a manicure be recommended?

Recommending a manicure every two weeks, or bi-weekly, is optimal for maintaining healthy and attractive nails. This frequency allows for regular nail care, including trimming, shaping, and polishing. It also provides the opportunity for clients to address any concerns, such as nail health or skin issues around the nails, which may arise over time. Regular maintenance can prevent nail damage and promote growth, making bi-weekly appointments ideal for clients who frequently use nail products or engage in activities that may lead to wear and tear.

Other intervals, such as monthly or bi-monthly, may not provide sufficient care for clients who desire consistently well-groomed nails. Longer intervals could lead to neglected nails, which may detract from the appearance and could affect nail health negatively, especially if polish is allowed to chip or peel over time. Moreover, recommending a manicure too soon, such as after just three days, would not provide clients with enough time for their nails to recover and could lead to over-manipulation. Thus, bi-weekly recommendations strike a balance between upkeep and allowing the nails to remain healthy.
