At Hardcastle Nail Bar, we pride ourselves on providing a relaxing and cozy atmosphere for our clients. We also use non toxic products whenever possible, and put your nail health as top priority.
Before arriving to your appointment you are sent a client intake form & waiver so you can tell us anything you feel we need to know. (ex. silent appointment, preferred pronouns, injuries, etc.) Once you arrive we ask you to thoroughly wash your hands while we make your preferred coffee or tea. Once at the sation we will have a consulatation about your overall nail dreams, including what you would like achieved at this appointment. We will go over our different services to you to help decide which would be the best fit to achieve your nail dreams. We will then have you choose your desired colour & get started on prepping your nails for product. We always explain each step as we do them to give you opportunities to ask any questions, make adjustments and ensure you're comfortable. Near the end of your appointment we will go over after care to help you understand how to maintain your nail enhancements at home. You are then given a goody bag of some of the tools we used during your appointment and a sweet treat to enjoy later!
• Pre book your next nail appointment
• Never pick or bite your nails
• Don't use harsh chemicals without gloves
• Avoid prolonged periods in water
• Oil your cuticles multiple times a day
• Always remember: Your nails are jewels, not tools!
We can never guarantee to know what was used on your nails at another place, because not all nail products are the same. To ensure your natural nails are healthy while in our care we ask our new clients to arrive with bare nails.

Simple! Its the liquid product turning into a solid on your nail. Totally common & nothing to worry about! You may feel this sensation more with different products, if your nails are damaged, you have a lower pain tolerence or when your menstrating. When you feel your nails getting hot in the lamp, take them out, wait for them to cool and then put them back in the lamp to fully cure.
Now, if your nails feel warm after you leave the salon you may be experiencing an allergic reaction & you should contact your primary care physician for treatment, also contact the salon to notify them of your reaction.
For your security and ours! You get the comfort of knowing your appointment is secured & we have the security of knowing you will show up to your selected appointment time.
