Frequently Asked Questions

How long does gel polish last?
Most guests enjoy up to two to three weeks of wear. Your lifestyle and nail condition will affect longevity. Good aftercare helps extend results.
Is removal included in this service?
Removal is not included. Book a gel removal add-on or a removal-only visit. We remove safely to protect the natural nail.
Will gel polish damage my nails?
When applied and removed correctly, gel will not damage nails. Avoid picking or peeling, as this can cause thinning. We advise professional removal every time.
Can I book if I have acrylics on?
We apply gel polish to natural nails only. Please book an acrylic removal first. This ensures a clean surface and a lasting finish.
Which colours and finishes are available?
Choose from nudes, brights, and seasonal shades with glossy or matte finishes. Your technician will help you find a colour that suits your style.
