With professional application and normal wear, expect about 10–14 days of chip-free, glossy color. Many clients extend results to two or three weeks by avoiding harsh chemicals, wearing gloves, and scheduling timely touch-ups.

Yes, when applied and removed properly. Our technicians prep gently and use protective base coats. Gels can strengthen nails, but severely compromised nails may need a consultation and targeted treatments first.

We recommend professional salon removal to avoid damage. Technicians use acetone soaks, wraps, and careful filing to lift gel safely. At-home peeling risks thinning and splitting if done incorrectly.

Absolutely. Gel works beautifully with hand-painted art, decals, chrome powders, and light extensions. Share your design ideas so your technician can plan time and materials for flawless results.

Basic aftercare is simple: moisturize cuticles, avoid prolonged soaking, and wear gloves for chores. Schedule fills or refreshes every 2–3 weeks to maintain strength, prevent lifting, and keep color vibrant.

Not inherently. When applied and removed correctly and combined with periodic nail rests, gels are safe. Overuse or aggressive removal can weaken nails, so occasional breaks and professional care are recommended.
