Absolutely. During your appointment our nail artists consult on preferred shape, length, and toe or hand specifics, sculpting the acrylics to match. We recommend considering lifestyle and maintenance when choosing extremes like very long stiletto shapes.

Remove any existing polish and arrive with clean, dry hands. Avoid trimming cuticles excessively beforehand; our technicians will groom them safely. If you have nail damage or an infection, please reschedule so we can ensure safe, healthy application.

When applied and removed correctly by experienced technicians, acrylics are generally safe. They protect weak nails and add strength, but improper application or aggressive removal can cause damage. Follow aftercare and schedule professional fills and removals to preserve natural nail health.

In many cases we can apply a new full set the same day if your natural nails are healthy and free of irritation. If there is thinning, lifting, or infection, we may recommend a healing period before applying acrylics for best results.
