Application
For Gel/Shellac Nails; Application of non acid primer on your nail plates that works like a double sided tape, a base coat and the polish itself.
For extensions; the technician will start building your nails with the gel as soon as primer is applied then filed to required shape and length and then the polish of your choice is applied.
Finishing
The technician will wrap up with final touches to your enhancement this may include buffing, final coat of polish, top coat and application of cuticle oil. The optional add-ons are applied wither at this stage or sometimes before the finishing step depends on what add-ons you choose.
Note; The technician will cure your nails multiple times under LED UV light during the entire process. Some times the technician may skip any step(s) if it’s deemed as unnecessary to your nail condition.

Why we don't offer Acrylic Extensions?
Did you know? Acrylics is a type of plastic. There are many instances where acrylics have had adverse effects on staff / customers health due to it’s strong fumes. They also make your nails less breathable and can cause damage to your natural nail bed in a long term.
