★★★★★

Nell and her team are the best. Perfect manicures and pedicures, and they are lovely hosting kids and talkative relatives as well. I’ve had gel, dazzle dry(which Nell introduced me to and is the current favorite), and standard manicures and all have been very well done. Great trimming and shaping, really nice hand and foot massages, too. Highly recommend trying them out....more

I am a loyal customer of Arlington VIP Spa Salon, where professional, high-quality service is always provided. The team is friendly, attentive, and truly listens to your needs. Their nail work lasts for weeks, and I especially appreciate that they are certified to use non-toxic nail care products — an added plus for health and safety.

The salon maintains a clean, hygienic environment with comfortable seating and skilled technicians who make every visit a pleasant experience. I also enjoy their facials, and my eyebrow shaping is always done to perfection.

VIP Spa Salon has earned my trust, and I highly recommend their services....more

Arlington VIP Spa is the absolute best, I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! I have been coming here for the past year and it’s my favorite form of self care. The spa is very clean and cozy, with strong massage chairs for pedicures+a scrub/massage treatment thats super relaxing. Ness herself is a highlight of the place, she truly cares about her customers, is great to talk to, and always supports my crazy manicure ideas. Since coming here my nails are stronger and healthier, 100% recommend!...more

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gel Nail Polish Manicure.

How long does a Gel Nail Polish Manicure typically last?

A properly applied Gel Nail Polish Manicure usually lasts up to two weeks without chipping. Longevity depends on daily activities, nail prep, and at-home care—clients who avoid prolonged water exposure and use cuticle oil often enjoy maximum wear.

Is Gel Nail Polish Manicure safe for natural nails and nail health long-term?

Yes when applied and removed correctly. Our technicians use gentle prep and professional removal to protect the nail plate. Avoid peeling off gels and schedule professional removal to prevent thinning or damage to natural nails.

How should I prepare before a Gel Nail Polish Manicure?

Arrive with clean, dry nails; remove old polish if possible. Avoid heavy hand creams immediately before your appointment. Bring any color inspiration—our techs can match shades and suggest finishes to suit your lifestyle and nail shape.

Can I change polish color the day of my Gel Nail Polish Manicure?

Yes—simply tell your technician when you arrive. We'll remove any remaining polish during prep and present color options. Last-minute changes are usually fine, but large design requests may need extra time or an upgraded service.

How do I maintain my Gel manicure at home between visits?

Apply cuticle oil daily and moisturize hands to keep nails flexible and healthy. Wear gloves for household chores and avoid picking at edges. If chipping occurs, book a touch-up to prevent further lifting or damage.

How is Gel Nail Polish Manicure polish removed safely without damaging natural nails?

We use professional removal: nails are gently filed, soaked in acetone wraps, and excess gel is carefully lifted by a technician. Never peel gels off. Proper removal preserves nail integrity and reduces risk of thinning or surface damage.
