Hybrid manicure has become one of the most popular forms of nail styling. Long-lasting effect, intense colors, and shine that lasts for weeks are just some of its advantages. However, many people wonder: how long does such nail beautification take? Is it worth reserving more than an hour for it? Let’s take a closer look.
The process of applying a hybrid manicure
Before we get to the duration of the procedure, it’s worth understanding what exactly is involved in the process of applying a hybrid manicure. Initially, nails are prepared by shaping them and pushing back and possibly trimming the cuticles. Then, a base is applied, which is cured under a UV or LED lamp. The next step is applying the hybrid nail polish in two layers, which also require curing. Finally, a top coat is applied, which secures the whole and gives the nails a beautiful shine.
How long does it take to perform a hybrid manicure?
The entire process, as described above, can take from 45 minutes to even 2 hours, depending on several factors. First and foremost, the experience of the beautician is crucial here. People who have been performing such manicures for years can do it faster than someone who is just starting their adventure with hybrids. Another factor affecting the time is the condition of our nails. If they require more attention, e.g., due to damage or thick cuticles, the procedure may take longer.
Additional services and duration
It’s also worth remembering that various decorations can be added to a standard hybrid manicure, such as patterns, rhinestones, or powders. Each of these decorations requires additional time. If we decide on more complex patterns, it’s worth reserving an additional 30 minutes for the visit. On the other hand, if we want a quick procedure, it’s worth informing the beautician in advance that we don’t plan any additional decorations.
What affects the durability of a hybrid manicure?
Of course, the time spent on performing a hybrid manicure is important, but its durability is equally crucial. Proper preparation of the nail plate is key. If it is properly buffed and cleaned, the polish will adhere better. Besides, it’s worth paying attention to the quality of the products used. Not all hybrid polishes are the same – those from the higher shelf often offer better durability and color intensity.
In our opinion at Easy Nails
From our experience at Easy Nails, the optimal time to perform a classic hybrid manicure is about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Of course, it can vary depending on the client’s preferences and chosen decorations. However, it’s worth remembering that the time spent at the beautician is also a moment of relaxation and unwinding, so it’s not always worth rushing.
