Day-to-day operating brief

What Nail Technician (Acrylic/Gel) work looks like in practice

An Acrylic and Gel Nail Technician applies overlays, extensions and cured polish systems after assessing natural nail and surrounding skin condition. Work requires controlled preparation, ventilation or dust extraction, compatible products, correct lamp curing, clean files and tools, and realistic infill or removal plans. Terms should list authorised systems, competence, patch or sensitivity procedures, product storage, equipment, client records, pricing, retail and commission. Speed targets must not encourage over-filing or conceal lifting and infection concerns. Maintenance records should note lifting location, breakage and natural-nail condition before product is replaced. Repeated failure in the same area may call for a shorter length, different structure or full removal rather than another identical repair.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Consult on nail history and goals.
  • Prepare nails without excessive damage.
  • Apply approved acrylic and gel systems.
  • Operate lamps and extraction correctly.
  • Perform infills repairs and removal.
  • Record products response and aftercare.

A client requests an infill over visible separation and discolouration. The technician removes or defers under the salon process instead of sealing the concern beneath new product.
