Get answers to common questions about Classic Pedicure Gel Polish.

Gel polish typically lasts two to four weeks on toes, depending on nail growth and activity level. Proper aftercare, avoiding picking, and wearing protective footwear extends wear. Schedule maintenance or removal with our technicians for best results.

When applied and removed professionally, gel polish is safe for healthy natural nails. Technicians use gentle soak-off methods to minimize damage. If you have nail infections or severe nail issues, we recommend a consultation before service.

Arrive with clean, polish-free nails and wear open-toe shoes for comfort. Share any medical concerns, allergies, or recent foot treatments with your technician. Allow a few extra minutes for consultation if you are a new client.

Enhancements like nail extensions or overlays are separate services. Gel polish can be applied over natural nails or compatible enhancements. Ask your technician during booking to combine services or for recommendations tailored to your needs.

Avoid picking at the gel, minimize exposure to harsh chemicals, and keep cuticles moisturized. Wear protective footwear that doesn’t rub the polish. Regular salon visits for professional touch-ups maintain shine and prolong wear.

Professional soak-off removal minimizes damage when done correctly. Never peel or pick at gel polish, as that can strip nail layers. Follow with a strengthening or hydrating treatment if nails feel dry or brittle.
