Following the recent news regarding concern over reactions to gel polish formulations and the use of skin damaging UV lamps we wanted to reassure you a little.
Rest assured that we thoroughly research the products that we use, we access regular training to ensure that our skills and knowledge are up to date. You are in safe hands at Close health and Beauty.
We also use an LED light machine (not UV) to cure gel nail varnish and our product house (where we source our gel nail varnish and tools) has just released the below information. Call us if you have any queries and we will be happy to help.
Love Jan and Clare.
