What to expect

During: Manicures run 45–90 minutes. Full sets up to 2 hours. Bring something to read or just relax — we move at the right pace, never rushed.

After: Apply cuticle oil daily. Wear gloves for cleaning. Don't pick or peel — book a soak-off to remove gel properly.

FAQ

Common questions

With proper prep and care, a quality gel manicure holds 2–3 weeks with minimal lifting. Daily cuticle oil and wearing gloves for cleaning make a huge difference.
Acrylic adds length and strength using a powder-and-liquid system. Gel can be applied as polish over your natural nail (for durability) or as a builder for light overlay. Acrylic is harder, gel is more flexible.
Always book a professional soak-off ($25). Picking or peeling damages your natural nail bed and can cause months of weakness.
Yes — bridal packages include a trial and day-of appointment, designed around your colors and theme. Group bookings welcome.
