How To Find A Hypoallergenic Nail Tech Near You
For many people, nail enhancements are more than just beauty treatments. They are a form of self-expression, confidence and self-care. But discovering you may have developed an allergy to HEMA or other nail product ingredients can feel overwhelming, especially if you love having your nails done regularly.
The good news? Finding a hypoallergenic nail technician can help you continue enjoying beautiful nails while significantly reducing exposure to some of the most common allergens found in traditional gel systems.
At HONA, we believe nobody should feel like they have to give up nails completely due to sensitivities or allergies.
What Does Hypoallergenic Mean In The Nail Industry?
In the world of professional nail products, the term “hypoallergenic” refers to products formulated to reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
Hypoallergenic nail systems are typically created without some of the most well-known allergens commonly found in traditional gel products.
However, it’s important to understand that “hypoallergenic” is not currently a regulated term within the nail industry. Different brands may define it differently depending on the ingredients they choose to exclude.
At HONA, our hypoallergenic gel system was developed specifically to reduce exposure to some of the most common allergens associated with nail products.
Our gel system is free from:
This allows nail techs to offer safer gel manicure services without compromising on performance, retention or nail art possibilities.
What Causes Nail Allergies?
One of the most talked-about allergens within the nail industry is HEMA (Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate).
HEMA is commonly used in many gel nail systems and has been highlighted by organisations such as The British Association of Dermatologists due to its potential to cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
Symptoms of a gel nail allergy may include:
- Redness around the nails
- Itching or irritation
- Swelling
- Lifting of the nail plate
- Dry, cracked or sore skin
If you believe you may have developed a nail product allergy, the first step should always be to speak with your GP or dermatologist.
Patch testing can help identify the specific ingredients causing your reaction, making it easier to avoid products containing those allergens moving forward.
