Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Gel Extensions.

Gel extensions typically last 2–3 weeks before a refill is recommended. With careful maintenance, minimal water exposure, and regular oiling they can hold up to four weeks. We recommend salon fills to maintain shape, strength, and a flawless finish.

When applied and removed by trained technicians using our non-toxic, vegan products, gel extensions should not cause lasting damage. Damage typically results from improper lift, aggressive filing, or at-home peeling. Professional fills and gentle salon removals preserve nail health.

A full set of gel extensions typically takes 60 to 90 minutes, including consultation, shaping, and curing. Fills and nail art may add time. We prioritize precision and nail health, so we allow extra minutes for customization and gentle application.

We recommend professional soak-off removal to protect natural nails. Technicians carefully file the topcoat, soak nails in acetone, and gently remove softened gel, finishing with nourishment and cuticle oil. Avoid peeling or picking, which can thin and damage nails.
