Attention All Nail Biters!!!

"Studies show 60% of children and 45% of teenagers bite their nails." - WebMD


Your nails might not be your top priority, and keeping them looking great isn't your biggest concern, but chewing your nails and skin surrounding your nails can lead to serious infection.

"Both of these fingers are pinky fingers but due to infection one has swollen. Biting the nails has left an open wound inviting along a nice little infection to come play, this causes severe pain and the need for strong antibiotics in this case- some need to be sliced open- fingers crossed for the owner of this nail that the antibiotics work.

This person is "never biting my nails again"!!
Whilst in this instance, this infection is caused by a nail biter it could also occur if for example dirty tools are used for a nail treatment. 
Any open wound that is not kept clean could get like this." - Beauty and Bronze, Brentwood

A tried and true way to stop nail biting is to get regular manicures. Your cuticles will be moisturized and taken care of properly, and you won't have a reason to pick at them. Your nails will also be shaped, and nice and even. Enhancements have also been known to help biters quit that habit! You don't need to add length to add strength to your nails. If you're a nail biter, set up an appointment now and I will help you get over that nasty habit!
