Dehydrator: Nail Prep

Do not get on skin

Prep’s hydrophobic seal is the tech other dehydrators don’t have.

Water, oil, and hidden contaminants are silent adhesion killers—but most dehydrators only wipe the surface instead of stopping the problem. Prep doesn’t just remove moisture; it keeps it from coming back.

Silane Technology Creates a Hydrophobic Shield

• Traditional dehydrators only remove moisture for a short time—silane prevents moisture from coming back by forming a water-resistant barrier.
• This keeps the nail surface stable longer, reducing adhesion failures caused by environmental humidity or natural oil reabsorption.
• Unlike basic dehydrators, silane chemically interacts with the nail plate, making it more receptive to primers and enhancements without roughening the surface.

Why Prep Works Better Than Alcohol & Acetone

• Alcohol evaporates too slowly and leaves water behind, leading to hidden moisture that weakens adhesion.
• Acetone evaporates too fast—it removes oils but doesn’t fully break them down.
• Prep does both—it removes moisture and prevents reabsorption before product application.

Less Filing, Less Damage, More Strength

• More adhesion with less work—you only need a light buff with a 240-grit buffer, no aggressive filing required.
• No over-etching = healthier nails. Other systems force you to file deeper just to get products to stick—ours doesn’t.
• Better adhesion means fewer do-overs. Less lifting, fewer touch-ups, and nails that stay strong over time.

If your dehydrator isn’t sealing out moisture, Why bother? Just invite the lifting in for tea.

Q&A

Q1: What does a nail dehydrator do—and how is yours different?
A: Ours uses silane to create a hydrophobic barrier that locks out moisture and prepares the nail plate for product adhesion. It also breaks down oils better than alcohol or acetone. Most dehydrators just wipe the surface—ours keeps it clean and water-free for longer, giving you true adhesion power.

Q2: Do you need a dehydrator before gel or acrylic?
A: Yes. Acetone and alcohol can’t break down the waxy, stubborn residues on the nail plate. A real dehydrator—especially one with silane—breaks down those barriers and creates a water-resistant layer. This makes sure your product clings to the nail, even if clients have high moisture.

Q3: Is a silane dehydrator better than alcohol or acetone?
A: Absolutely. Our silane formula removes moisture, locks it out, and prepares the nail plate for real adhesion. Alcohol and acetone can’t create a hydrophobic barrier, so they leave you open to lifting and weak bonds.

Q4: How long does a dehydrator barrier last?
A: It keeps moisture out and the nail prepped for over 10 minutes—even in humid environments—so you have plenty of time for perfect application.

Q5: Can I skip aggressive filing before using this dehydrator?
A: Yes. Just a light 240-grit buff is all you need. The silane does the heavy lifting—no more grinding away at healthy nail plate.

Q6: Why choose this dehydrator over basic prep solutions?
A: It’s simple: our silane-based prep doesn’t just clean, it creates a layer that boosts adhesion. Fewer lifts, less damage, and a nail surface your products actually grip.
