Nail the Look: Comparing KOKOIST to Traditional Nail Extensions in Reno

In the world of beauty, nail extensions have been a game-changer for those of us seeking that extra oomph in our daily ensemble. From the bold and beautiful to the subtly chic, extensions like acrylic nails, gel, gel x, and dip nails have paved the way for endless creativity. However, as the saying goes, "not all that glitters is gold." Traditional nail extensions, while popular, come with their own set of drawbacks. 

Let’s dive into why KOKOIST nail extensions are the superior choice for those wanting to nail the look without the damage.

KOKOIST vs. Acrylic Nails in Reno

Acrylic nails in Reno and in general have been around the block, but let's face it, they can be as outdated as last season's trends. With their tendency to chip, crack, be a tad bit chunky and feel about as flexible as a brick, acrylics can damage nails with their harsh process of chemical bonders, primers and drilling.

SOAK KOKOIST technicians are masters of their craft, trained in the art of Japanese nail extension. KOKOIST, the sleek and sophisticated alternative that's here to revolutionize your nail game. These Japanese nail extensions are the Rolls-Royce of nail enhancements.

KOKOIST VS  Gel X in Reno

Let's talk Gel X nails. Gel X nails in Reno and around the world, is the new kid on the block, promising easy application and long-lasting results. But here's the scoop: while Gel X has its perks, it's still playing catch-up to the big leagues. The problem with Gel X is if you already have thin or weak nails, the heavy gel top coating can create your nails to become more brittle and break.

KOKOIST vs Dip Nails in Reno

Dip nails are a cozy night in with your favorite sweatpants or the trusty sidekick. They offer durability and a decent finish, but let's be real; they're about as exciting as watching paint dry.

The problem with dip nails in Reno and around the world is that if your technician is using the dip for multiple clients, you’re more prone to infection! If that doesn’t give you the ick…then think thick and clunky. Dip nails, if not properly filed down can be extremely thick and clunky! 

We haven’t even touched on the fact that the powder created and used to ‘dip’ your nails in is made of harsh chemicals. Dip powders are known for more allergic reactions than any other nails on the market given their chemical makeup. 

KOKOIST is like stepping onto the red carpet in a designer gown – these Japanese nail extensions are pure luxury. We're talking durability that scoffs at chips and cracks, flexibility that's more agile than a cat burglar, and a natural look so flawless, it's basically sorcery.

Not only are KOKOIST easy to apply–they are applied without the harsh bonders and primers used in the above processes as well minimal harsh chemicals.
