Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Builder Gel.
Builder Gel can last three to six weeks depending on nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare. Regular fills every 2-3 weeks maintain structure and appearance; schedule follow-ups to prevent lifting and preserve health.
Yes—when applied by our trained technicians, Builder Gel supports and protects weakened nails without excessive filing. It bonds gently, encourages growth, and allows for restorative treatments. We'll assess nail health and recommend the best service for safe results.
We recommend professional removal to prevent damage. If you must remove at home, soak in acetone, gently file lift, and avoid force. Best practice: schedule a salon soak-off to preserve nail strength and prevent over-filing or breakage.
Yes, Builder Gel can be layered over properly prepared acrylic or hard gel extensions for added strength and refinement. Technicians will prep and bond surfaces correctly; incompatible products or poor prep can cause lifting, so trust our trained staff for best results.
Typical appointment lasts 45 to 75 minutes depending on services, nail length, and design complexity. Consultations and prep may add time. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to discuss style and ensure a relaxed, timely service.
Builder Gel applied over intact polish or soft gels may cause lifting or uneven adhesion. We typically remove polish or balance the nail before application for optimal bond and finish. Discuss your current manicure with your technician for personalized care.
