How often should acrylic maintenance be performed?

For acrylic maintenance, performing it every 2-3 weeks is generally considered standard practice. This timeframe allows the technician to address issues such as growth of the natural nail and any lifting that may occur at the acrylic-to-nail bond. As the natural nails grow, the acrylic will need to be filled in to maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of the nails. Regular maintenance helps ensure that the nails remain in good condition, reduces the risk of damage to the natural nail, and extends the life of the acrylic application.

Timing considerations, such as individual client needs, growth rates of nails, and care and maintenance habits, can slightly influence the frequency of maintenance, but 2-3 weeks is a widely accepted guideline. This ensures that clients maintain a polished look while minimizing potential issues that could arise from neglecting nail upkeep.
