Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gel Pedicure.

A Gel Pedicure usually lasts three to six weeks depending on nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare. Activities that expose toes to abrasion or frequent water may shorten wear. Schedule maintenance or removal when lifting, chipping, or natural growth becomes noticeable.

Gel polish can be applied to most nails, but damaged or thinning nails may require caution. Our technicians assess nail health, recommend strengthening treatments, or suggest alternative finishes. Proper removal prevents extra damage—avoid peeling or picking to preserve nail integrity.

We remove gel with professional acetone soak and gentle techniques to minimize nail stress. Technicians file the surface, protect surrounding skin, and ensure complete removal before any new service. Never peel gels at home; it risks thinning and damage to your natural nails.

Curing time varies by lamp and polish formula. LED lamps typically cure each coat in 30 to 60 seconds, while traditional UV lamps may take about two minutes per coat. We use high-quality lamps for efficient, consistent curing and lasting results.

Yes. Gel polish cures fully under the lamp, so you can wear open-toe shoes immediately after your appointment. We still recommend avoiding tight footwear for a few hours to reduce pressure and potential premature wear on freshly cured polish.

Keep nails clean and moisturized, apply cuticle oil daily, and avoid picking or scraping polish. Wear protective shoes for physical activities and use gentle, non-abrasive foot care products. Schedule touch-ups every three to four weeks to maintain appearance and prevent lifting.
