How often should clients receive manicures for optimal nail health?

For optimal nail health, clients should ideally receive manicures every 2 to 4 weeks, as this frequency aligns with the natural growth rate of the nails and allows for proper maintenance. Nails typically grow about 1/8 inch per month, and regular manicures help manage the health of the cuticles, prevent hangnails, and maintain an overall neat appearance.

Having manicures within this timeframe also provides an opportunity for nail technicians to assess any changes in the nails or surrounding skin, offering advice or treatment if any issues arise. This regular maintenance contributes positively to both nail health and the client's overall experience.

Receiving manicures every week might not be necessary for everyone and could lead to over-manipulation of the nails and surrounding skin. Monthly or every six months visits might not be sufficient to maintain optimal health, as this would allow more time for neglect and potential issues to develop.
