Don't Believe the Hype: Gel Manicures Are Safe!

Have you seen all of the recent posts on social media about gel manicures being unsafe? We are here to set the record straight. While there is some truth to these claims, they are not entirely accurate. At Salon Bliss, we use only LED light technology, which is completely safe and does not cause cancer or any other health issues. So don’t let the rumors stop you from getting your nails done—gel manicures are a safe way to get beautiful nails!

The Truth about Gel Manicures

The truth is that there are two types of lights used in gel manicure systems: UV lights and LED lights. The majority of salons use LED lights, but there are still some that use UV lamps. UV light has been linked to skin cancer, so it’s important to make sure your salon uses LED light technology for your gel manicure.

At Salon Bliss, we use only LED light technology because it is not only safer—it’s also faster! This means less time with the lamp on your hands and more time enjoying beautiful nails. Plus, LED light technology emits no heat, making it even gentler on your hands and nails than traditional UV lamps.

How to Make Sure Your Salon Uses LED Light Technology

If you want to make sure your salon uses only LED light technology for its gel manicures, ask questions before you book an appointment! Ask what kind of lamp they use for their gel manicures; if they say anything other than “LED," then find another salon that does. You can also look up reviews online; many customers will mention whether or not their salon uses LED lamps.

Gel manicures can be a great way to get beautiful nails without having to worry about chipping or fading polish. But it’s important to make sure you choose a salon that uses only LED light technology; this will ensure your safety and give you peace of mind while getting your nails done!
