Frequently Asked Questions About Add-Ons
Answers to common questions about our gel and acrylic removal add-on services.
Yes — you can add Gel Removal or Acrylic Removal to any manicure or pedicure appointment. Please mention it when booking or arrive a few minutes early so your technician can prepare. Timing varies by product and nail condition, typically 15–30 minutes.
Most gel removals take about 15–30 minutes; acrylic removals can take 30–45 minutes depending on thickness and applied enhancements. Technicians work carefully to avoid unnecessary filing or damage, so times may extend slightly for safety and nail health.
When performed correctly, removal should not damage nails. Our technicians use tested soak-off and controlled filing methods to minimize trauma. If nails are already weakened, we recommend specific aftercare and may suggest a recovery period before new enhancements to encourage healthy regrowth.
Yes, we can remove gel or acrylic applied elsewhere. Please disclose any known products or application methods when booking. Removal time and approach may change based on previous application quality, adhesive type, and nail condition; a consultation ensures a safe, customized removal plan.
Prices vary by service: gel removals are generally less than acrylic removals due to complexity. For accurate pricing, check our online menu or call the salon. We price fairly and include careful nail assessment and base prep for any follow-up service.
Keep nails moisturized with cuticle oil daily, avoid harsh chemicals or heavy polishing for a week, and trim gently if needed. If nails feel thin or brittle, use strengthening treatments and schedule a recovery manicure to restore health before new enhancements.
