Living in Minnesota means dealing with some of the harshest winters in the country, and our nails bear the brunt of this extreme weather. With temperatures regularly dropping well below zero in the Twin Cities area, the moisture in our nails literally freezes and thaws, causing microcracks that lead to peeling and breakage. At Lexa Nails in Eagan, we understand these unique challenges intimately.
Our top recommendation for Minnesota winters is to invest in protective nail enhancements like Dip Color or Gel Polish, which create a shield over your natural nails. Our Detox Manicure at $45 is specifically designed to restore winter-damaged nails, using deep-penetrating treatments to rehydrate and strengthen. Keep a cuticle oil pen in your purse and car — reapply throughout the day, especially after coming in from the cold.
Never go outside without gloves, and choose insulated gloves over thin fashion ones. Consider scheduling your nail appointments every two weeks during winter instead of every three to four weeks in summer. Hot paraffin wax treatments, available at Lexa Nails for just $10, are a winter essential — the warm wax deeply moisturizes while improving circulation.
Located conveniently near the Galleria shopping center, Lexa Nails makes it easy to maintain your winter nail care routine while running your regular errands in Eagan.
