Frequently Asked Questions

How long do gel nails last?

Gel manicures typically last 2-3 weeks without chipping, while gel pedicures can last 4-5 weeks. Longevity depends on nail growth, daily activities, and proper home care. We recommend booking fills or touch-ups when you notice significant growth at the cuticle area.

What's the difference between gel and acrylic nails?

Gel nails are cured under UV light and tend to look more natural with a glossy finish. They're more flexible and generally gentler on natural nails. Acrylic nails are created with a liquid and powder mixture that air-dries and tends to be more durable and strong, making them ideal for significant length. Both can be beautiful—we'll help you choose based on your lifestyle and preferences!

Do I need to remove my old polish before I come in?

No! Polish removal is included in all of our manicure and pedicure services. Come as you are, and we'll take care of everything. If you have gel polish or enhancements, let us know when booking so we can allocate extra time for gentle removal.

Can I bring my own nail polish?

While we have an extensive collection of OPI, Essie, and CND polishes, you're welcome to bring your own polish if you have a specific color you love. However, we can only use polishes from reputable brands for quality and safety reasons, and we cannot guarantee the longevity of products we haven't tested.

Will nail enhancements damage my natural nails?

When applied and removed correctly by a trained professional, gel and acrylic enhancements should not damage your natural nails. The key is proper application, using quality products, and most importantly, professional removal—never pick or peel them off! We use gentle techniques and recommend occasional breaks if you wear enhancements long-term.

How often should I get a manicure or pedicure?

For regular polish manicures, most clients come in every 1-2 weeks. Gel manicures typically need maintenance every 2-3 weeks. Pedicures generally last longer—we recommend every 3-4 weeks in summer and 4-6 weeks in winter. Acrylic or gel enhancements need fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain their look and prevent lifting.

Do you sterilize your tools?

Absolutely! Sanitation is our top priority. All metal implements are sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave between every single client. Files, buffers, and other porous tools are single-use and disposed of after each service. Our pedicure chairs use disposable liners and are thoroughly disinfected between clients. We exceed all state board sanitation requirements.

Can you match a specific nail design I saw on Instagram?

Yes! We love recreating designs. Please bring reference photos to your appointment or send them when you book. Keep in mind that very intricate designs require additional time and will have an added cost. Our nail artists will let you know if a design is achievable and provide a time and price estimate.

Do you offer bridal party services?

Yes! We love pampering bridal parties. For groups of 4 or more, we offer customized packages and can accommodate your party at a scheduled time. We recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance, especially during wedding season (May-October). Contact us to discuss your group's needs and receive a custom quote.
