At Nail'd.It!, we prioritize the health and safety of our clients with strict hygiene protocols.
We dispose of all single-use items, including nail files, toe separators, and buffers, after each use to prevent the retention of pathogens.
Additionally, we wipe down all surfaces, and foot spas are thoroughly cleaned with a disinfectant that is left to sit for 20 minutes to eliminate harmful bacteria.
FUN FACTS!
​
The human body's fingernails are a small yet essential feature. Despite their size, they hold significant decorative potential, encompassing a wide range of options such as fake nails and coloured nail varnish. These interesting facts highlight the uniqueness of this often-overlooked body part.
​
The origin of artificial nails can be traced back to 1954, but historical evidence suggests that the practice of wearing long artificial nails dates back to ancient civilizations such as Ancient Egypt and the Ming Dynasty in China.
​
The nails on our hands exhibit varying growth rates. Typically, thumbnails, being the largest, experience the slowest growth, while the nails on our middle fingers undergo the most rapid growth.
​
What happens to your fingernails after you die?
Well, contrary to the many rumours on the subject your fingernails don’t continue to grow. They stop, just like most other body parts once your heart is no longer pumping
​
​In theory, men's fingernails exhibit a faster growth rate in comparison to women's. Notably, the individual holding the record for the longest fingernails is a man. Melvin Boothe, an American, achieved a measurement of 9.85 meters for his fingernails in 2009.
​
Numerous women have also achieved significant lengths with their nails. Notably, American citizen Lee Redmond succeeded in growing her fingernails to a remarkable 8.65 meters over the course of two decades. Regrettably, shortly after this extraordinary achievement was measured, she lost her record-breaking nails in a car accident
The growth rate of fingernails exceeds that of toenails. When quantified, the growth of fingernails amounts to approximately 1 cm every 100 days.
​
Fingernails' growth is significantly influenced by the climate, with hot climates and the summer season being key factors for faster growth.
​
You’re unlikely to wake up with much longer nails. That’s because fingernails will do more of their growing during the daytime than during nighttime hours.
​
Fingernails respond to hand use. That’s why you’ll find that the nails on your dominant hand grow more quickly than those on your non-dominant hand.
​
Although we have millions of sweat glands around our bodies, you won’t find any on your fingernails. Because there are no sweat glands on your fingernails, you’ll never see them glisten, unlike other areas like your face or underarms.
