Nails

A gel manicure usually lasts two to three weeks before your nails grow out or the edges start to wear. Gel on toes lasts longer, because toenails grow more slowly. Wearing gloves for cleaning, using cuticle oil and not using your nails as tools all help it last. If it chips or lifts within 3 days and you followed the aftercare, we fix it free.

Gel and extensions should not damage your natural nails when they are applied and removed properly. Damage usually comes from peeling or picking the product off, which pulls away layers of your own nail with it. If your gel starts to lift, leave it alone and message us instead. Proper removal and daily cuticle oil keep your nails in good condition.

Nail extensions can be shaped almond, square, coffin or stiletto, at the length you choose. Shorter almond and square shapes are the easiest to live with day to day, especially for typing and everyday tasks. Longer coffin and stiletto shapes make a stronger statement. Bring a photo if you have a specific look in mind.

Message us within 3 days of your appointment, with a photo if you can, and come back to have it fixed free of charge, as long as you followed the aftercare advice. Chipping or lifting that early usually points to an application issue, which is exactly what the free-fix window is for. After 3 days, message us anyway and we tell you the options and the price first.

Yes. We remove gel and nail extensions done at another salon carefully, without peeling or forcing them off, so your natural nails stay in good condition. Removal is included in the price of your new service. Tell us when you book that you have work from another salon, so we can plan the extra time.
