Gel manicures
Gel is our most booked service, and for good reason. Each thin layer cures under a low-heat LED lamp in 30 to 60 seconds, so you leave with nails that are completely dry and ready for your bag, your keys and your phone.
Removal of another salon's hard gel or acrylic adds $10 to $15
We use HEMA-free gel systems for guests with sensitivities and never use a drill on your natural nail plate. When it is time for removal, we soak off with warm acetone wraps and a cuticle oil finish so your nails stay thick and flexible between sets.
What is included
- Gentle soak-off of your previous gel (same visit)
- Shaping, cuticle care and light hand buff
- Dehydrator and bonding primer for grip
- Base, two gel color coats and no-wipe top coat
- Choice from 240+ gel shades, including seasonal drops
- Cuticle oil and a hand massage finish
How the appointment runs
- 01Consult and color
We check your nails for lifting or thinning and help you pick from the gel wall or our seasonal collection.
- 02Prep
Shape, cuticle care and a light buff to remove shine. Prep is 70 percent of why gel lasts.
- 03Layer and cure
Thin coats cured under LED. Edges are capped so water cannot sneak under the color.
- 04Oil and go
No wipe top coat, cuticle oil and a massage. Nails are fully dry when you stand up.

Gel itself is not damaging. Peeling it off or aggressive filing is. We soak off gently and never drill the natural nail, so your nails stay healthy set after set.
Our lamps cure in under a minute per coat. If you prefer, we have UV-protective fingerless gloves and SPF you can use before your service.
Two to three weeks for most people. Oils from hands and very thin, bendy nails can shorten wear, so we may suggest a builder base.
Absolutely. Short, rounded gel nails are one of our most requested looks and tend to wear the longest.

Three weeks and not a single chip. The tools come out of sealed pouches in front of you, which I really appreciate.

One nail popped on day three and they fixed it that afternoon, no charge and no fuss.
