Yes—book the Gel Removal Add-On Service with your manicure. Removing gel professionally prevents damage, creates a smooth base for polish, and allows your technician to assess nail health before applying a fresh color or enhancement.

Typically 10 to 20 minutes when added to another nail service. Time depends on polish thickness and previous application method. Your technician will work carefully to remove gel without over-filing, ensuring a safe process tailored to your nails.

When performed as an add-on by trained technicians, gel removal minimizes damage. We use acetone soaks and gentle filing, avoiding aggressive scraping. If your nails are weak, we'll recommend strengtheners or a recovery plan before applying new enhancements.

This add-on is intended to be paired with another nail service for best results. Book it alongside a manicure or enhancement so removal and follow-up care occur in one appointment, protecting nail health and ensuring proper prep for new polish.

Arrive with clean, polish-free hands if possible and avoid heavy oils or lotions. Communicate any nail issues or sensitivities. Allow enough appointment time by booking the add-on with your chosen nail service to ensure a thorough, unhurried removal.

Yes. Keep nails moisturized with cuticle oil, avoid immediate heavy gel reapplication, and use a strengthening base as needed. If you notice peeling or sensitivity, schedule a follow-up. Regular hydration helps nails recover faster after removal.
