As the temperature drops in North York, we aren't the only ones feeling the chill—our nails are too. The harsh Canadian winter, combined with dry indoor heating, strips moisture from our hands, leading to brittle nails, painful hangnails, and peeling cuticles.
At On Her Nails, we believe beauty should never come at the cost of health. Here is our professional guide to maintaining a flawless, healthy manicure all winter long.
Just like your skin, your nails need moisture to stay flexible. When nails lose their natural oils, they become brittle and snap easily.
In winter, your nails need an extra layer of defense. This is where our signature Bio Gel or BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) treatments shine.
Unlike traditional polish that can become stiff and crack in the cold, Bio Gel is flexible and mimics the natural nail's movement. It acts as a "winter coat" for your nails, providing strength without the harsh chemicals found in acrylics.
The biggest cause of nail damage isn't the cold—it's improper removal. Peeling off your gel at home strips away layers of your natural nail, making them paper-thin.
At On Her Nails, we follow a Gentle & Detail removal process. We ensure your nail bed remains intact and healthy, ready for your next stunning set.
Just because they are tucked away in winter boots doesn't mean your feet don't need care. Dry heels can lead to painful cracking. A regular Pedicure at our Weston Rd sanctuary isn't just about color; it’s about exfoliation and preventing winter-related foot issues.
It sounds simple, but wearing gloves whenever you go outside—and especially when doing household chores—is the easiest way to protect your manicure from chemicals and cold air.
Don't let the winter blues get to your hands. Visit On Her Nails at 2843 Weston Rd for a consultation. Our artists will assess your nail health and recommend the perfect treatment to keep you glowing until spring.
