When Laredo Summer Meets Fresh Nails
Here in South Texas, we know two things: our sunsets are legendary, and our summer heat is relentless. While you’re busy conquering 100°F days, your manicure shouldn’t have to suffer. At Luxx Nails & Spa, we’ve mastered the art of long-lasting nails—even when the weather feels like a blow dryer. Here’s how to keep your mani intact (and Instagram-ready) all season long.
1. Start with the Right Manicure for Your Lifestyle
Not all manicures are created equal in Laredo’s climate. Gel and dipping powder are your BFFs for heat-resistant durability. Unlike regular polish, these options:
- Resist chipping from pool days or gardening.
- Stand up to constant hand-washing (we see you, sunscreen reapplication!).
- Stay glossy, even when your car steering wheel feels like a frying pan.
Pro Tip: Book our Luxx Gel Manicure—it lasts up to 3 weeks and comes with a free cuticle oil refill to combat dryness.
2. Moisturize Like It’s Your Job
Dry, brittle nails chip faster. The Laredo sun zaps moisture, so:
- Slather cuticle oil 2x daily (we love jojoba-based blends).
- Keep a mini hand cream in your purse (bonus points for SPF!).
- Try our Paraffin Wax Treatment during your pedicure—it locks in hydration for silky-soft hands.
Laredo Hack: Store lotion in your fridge for a cooling midday refresh!
3. Gloves Are Glam (Yes, Really)
Protect your mani from Laredo’s twin villains: sun and household chores.
- UV gloves while driving shield polish from fading.
- Rubber gloves for washing dishes or gardening (trust us, your French tips will thank you).
Fun Fact: 70% of our clients who rock gel manicures report fewer chips when they glove up!
4. Skip the Hot Tools (At Least on Your Hands)
Blow dryers, flat irons, and even hot steering wheels can weaken polish.
- Let nails cool post-manicure before gripping hot items.
- Blast the AC in your car (we won’t judge).
- Book a gel manicure—it’s smudge-proof and dries instantly under our LED lamp.
5. Schedule a Mid-Season Touch-Up
Even the toughest manicure needs TLC. Pop into Luxx Nails & Spa for:
- Polish repairs (for gel/dipping clients!).
- A cuticle refresh to prevent peeling.
- Our Volcano Pedicure’s collagen cream mask (great for hands too!).
Local Secret: Book a Wednesday morning appointment for shorter wait times!
