Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an acrylic soak off?
We gently file the top coat, apply remover and wraps, then lift softened product without force. Nails are shaped, buffed, and treated with oil for a neat finish.
Will my natural nails be damaged?
No. We protect the nail plate, avoid over-filing, and never pry product. Expect nails to feel lighter; any temporary dryness improves with daily cuticle oil.
Can you remove acrylic from other salons?
Yes, we remove acrylic regardless of where it was applied. If the product is especially dense or layered, removal may take longer. We will advise on arrival.
Can I book a manicure after removal?
Absolutely. Please book a manicure as an add-on so we allow enough time. We can tidy cuticles, treat nails, and apply a strengthening base.
Do you remove gel or SNS?
This appointment is for acrylic only. For gel polish, builder gel, or SNS, please book the relevant removal service so we allocate the correct time and products.
