Frequently Asked Questions
About Gel-X Manicures
-
Wear time varies depending on your natural nail growth, daily activities, application, and aftercare. Our team can help you determine the best maintenance schedule for your nails.
-
Traditional acrylic extensions are typically created using a liquid-and-powder system. Gel-X uses pre-shaped soft-gel tips bonded to the natural nails with curing gel. Gel-X offers a lightweight, flexible alternative with customizable lengths and shapes.
-
Often, yes! Gel-X can be a great option for adding length to shorter natural nails. During your appointment, we'll assess your nails and help you choose an appropriate length and shape.
-
As with other nail enhancements, application and removal techniques matter. Proper preparation, avoiding picking or peeling, and professional removal can help minimize damage to your natural nails.
-
Gel-X extensions are designed to be soaked off using appropriate removal techniques. We recommend professional removal rather than pulling or peeling extensions off at home.
