Who may benefit from this treatment the most?
Our Soak Off & Full Set UV Gel with Gel Colour treatment is perfect for those with a busy schedule who may not have the time for frequent salon visits. It's also great for those who simply want their nails to be persistently beautiful.
Is UV Gel safe to use?
Yes, when applied and removed professionally as we do at Dream Nails, UV Gel is safe for your nails. The curing process under the UV lamp is quick and does not harm your natural nails.
How are nails prepared for UV Gel application?
Before applying UV Gel, we ensure that your nails are thoroughly cleaned and free of old polish. The natural surface is lightly buffed in preparation for the gel, which helps in its adherence and longevity.
Does the UV Gel feel different on my nails?
UV Gel feels slightly thicker and more robust than regular nail polish. This offers added strength to your natural nails, making them more resilient to everyday wear and tear.
What aftercare is required following this treatment?
We recommend using a cuticle oil daily, to keep your nails and surrounding skin moisturised. Other than that, the Soak Off & Full Set UV Gel with Gel Colour treatment is very low maintenance. It is designed to look fresh and beautiful without needing constant touch-ups.
What does the Back Waxing service at Dream Nails involve?
Our Back Waxing service involves a thorough clean of the area, followed by the application of quality wax by our trained technicians. The wax hardens and is then removed swiftly, pulling out hair from the roots. A soothing lotion is applied after the treatment to calm the skin.
How long does the hair-free result of Back Waxing last?
The results of our Back Waxing service at Dream Nails can last up to six weeks, depending on your body's hair growth cycle.
Can Back Waxing reduce hair growth over time?
Yes, frequently opting for our Back Waxing service can gradually decrease hair growth over time, leading to less frequent need for waxing in the future.
Can waxing enhance the appearance of my skin?
Indeed, waxing not only removes unwanted hair but also exfoliates the skin, getting rid of dead skin cells, which may lead to a brighter, more elegant complexion.
Is the Back Waxing service painful?
We aim to minimise any discomfort during our Back Waxing service. The wax strip is removed quickly against the direction of hair growth, which reduces the potential for hair breakage and limits discomfort.
Is there any post treatment care suggested after the Back Waxing service?
Following the waxing, a soothing lotion is applied to calm the skin and lessen any possible inflammation. It is also advised to avoid sun exposure and hot baths for 24 hours post treatment.
Can I wear swimwear or go swimming after Back Waxing?
Yes, the Back Waxing treatment leaves your back sleek and hair-free, making you feel confident in swimwear. However, avoid entering chlorinated water for at least 24 hours after waxing to protect the freshly waxed skin.
Will I experience any inflammation after the Back Waxing procedure?
It's possible that you might experience minor inflammation after waxing. To combat this, we apply a soothing lotion to your skin post-treatment.
Why is the hair removed in the opposite direction of growth during Back Waxing?
Removing the wax strip quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth increases the likelihood of hair being effectively removed from the roots and reduces the potential for hair breakage.

Absolutely, at Dream Nails, we use only high-quality, skin-friendly wax for our Back Waxing service to ensure the safety and comfort of our clients.
