Dreier Nagelkosmetik Beauty

About me

My name is Astrid Dreier, born in 1968, married, and mother of two adult sons.

In April 2004, I began training as a nail technician alongside my office job and at the same time completed an internship with an experienced nail stylist. It was a tough time with many ups and downs, but my determination and ambition paid off. In January 2005, I opened my own nail salon in Zunzgen, Basel-Landschaft. Thanks to great success and satisfied customers, I was able to move my business to larger, more modern premises in Gelterkinden, Basel-Landschaft, in April 2013.

I love the creativity and experimenting with colors that I can express with every customer. This fills me with great satisfaction and motivation.

To keep up to date with the latest trends and constantly changing techniques, I regularly attend various courses and trade fairs at home and abroad. I look forward to welcoming you to my cozy studio in Gelterkinden BL.

Yours, Astrid Dreier


What I offer

We use our hands not only for everyday tasks and work, but also for many other things in life. We use them to greet and say goodbye to people, to write, to paint, and for much more besides. Our hands are always at the center of our lives, and often we are not even aware of it. That is why our hands deserve care and beauty. In my range of services, you will find just what your nails and hands need.

Nail extension
Most women complain of brittle, fragile, and splitting fingernails. The most common cause of this problem is a decrease in the water content of the nail. Aggressive cleaning products and, of course, nutrition also influence the growth and condition of fingernails. Targeted nail care can solve nail problems when used consistently. As modern women place more and more value on perfectly manicured nails, gel nail design is becoming increasingly popular. A distinction is made here between natural nail reinforcement and nail extension. In nail extension (used for extremely short natural nails), the nails are artificially lengthened using the tip technique (serves as a nail tip).

The tip technique is probably the most widely used nail extension technique. The tip, an artificial fingernail tip, is made of high-quality plastic and is attached to the tip of the natural nail with adhesive, only at the front as an extension and not, as is often claimed, to the entire natural nail.

Since there are pre-made tips for all nail shapes, the extension is easy, they are flexible and adapt to the natural nail. The transition between the tip and the natural nail is then filed down so that there is no longer any difference between the natural nail and the artificial tip. The entire nail is modeled with modeling gel, cured in a light-curing device with UV light for 2 minutes, and filed into the shape you desire. If you wish, a white tip can be applied (French manicure). The natural nail continues to grow undisturbed under the tip. Once the nail has reached the desired length, we continue working with gel until there is no tip left. A nail extension takes about 1½ to 2 hours, and a refill takes 1 to 1½ hours. To keep your nails looking beautiful and well-groomed, you will need to have the gel refilled every three to five weeks, as the nail continues to grow and a gap forms at the back.

If you are unsure whether strengthening your natural nails or artificial nail extensions are right for you, I offer a free sample nail as part of my service.
I work exclusively with soft gels from Alessandro International, which are completely acid-free and harmless to natural nails.

Advantage:

• Tips grow with the natural nail
• Nail modeling with a very natural look
• 60 times stronger than natural nails
• No more different lengths of nails
• Absolutely harmless to the natural nail

Nail biting therapy
Do you bite your nails and want to stop? Then I can help you!

• Nail biting is unhealthy because you constantly put bacteria that collect on your bitten nails into your mouth.
• It also doesn't look very nice.
• Isn't that incentive enough to change now?

It is very important that you want to change and help a little by "trying" not to chew on your nails, even if it is difficult. If you do chew on your nails, don't worry, it's not harmful.

Nail biting therapy lasts anywhere from about 6 weeks to 4 months. During this time, regular check-ups are carried out. If necessary, repairs and new applications are also performed.

It is very important that you come in for regular check-ups during this program. Initially, this will be at least once a week, but the intervals will become longer over time, depending on the progress of the nail.

The modeling is kept very short, as you have been chewing for a long time and are no longer used to any other length of nails. In addition, the artificial nails are more stable if they are kept short at the beginning, as there is hardly any contact surface for tips or modeling compound. Otherwise, they could break off more quickly, and we don't want that, because then you will start chewing your own nails again.

Curious? Call me if you have any questions. I also offer a special price for nail-biting therapy!
