A Hands Color Change usually takes 15–25 minutes depending on polish type and nail condition. Gel color and detailed finishes may require slightly more time, but we prioritize a quick, polished result for busy clients.

We can remove light gel polish during a color change, but full gel soak-off requires extra time and care. For heavy or stubborn gel, we may recommend a dedicated removal appointment to protect nail health.

When performed properly, our technicians minimize damage by using gentle removal techniques and base coats. Frequent polish without proper breaks can stress nails, so we recommend occasional nail-rest periods and strengthening treatments.

Yes — we offer both regular and gel polish options. Gel requires curing under an LED lamp and may add a few minutes to your visit. Tell your technician your preference when booking.

Arrive with clean, dry hands and remove rings or hand lotions. If you have specific color ideas, bring a reference. For gel removals, avoid home peeling and notify us so we can allocate adequate time.
