What should be done with a broken nail during a manicure?

When a broken nail is encountered during a manicure, it is best to carefully file the broken edge to minimize further damage or discomfort. This is essential because jagged edges can snag on clothing or become more irritable. Additionally, reinforcing the break with a nail wrap can provide extra support and prevent the break from worsening. Nail wraps can be made from materials like silk or fiberglass, and they help to protect the integrity of the nail and promote healing. By taking these actions, you ensure that the client’s nail is not only better protected but can also maintain a more polished appearance during and after the manicure.
