Need no introduction - however we can't ignore the harmful effects of acrylic.

Gel polish is included in our acrylic services.
Nails are dipped into powder - can dry in minutes and don't require UV light to cure. Dip powder are also less damaging to natural nails than acrylic. Though it's not necessary to apply a gel top coat to dip nails, it will allow nails to dry quicker and it leave nails shinier. With that said - Gel top coat is available upon request for no additional charge.
Artificial tips are applied to your real nails for added length
Though there is an option for a dip fill, majority of the time you will need a new set and get current set removed. If this is a deal breaker for you, then we suggest hard gel or t.a.p hybrid gel because those can be filled.
Only book this if you have tips on. If you want to change your dip color on your real nails, then you will need to book a Dip Overlay.
Some of you may not be a good candidate for a dip fill, so we will have to do a new set. This will be technician's discretion.
Real nails will be dipped into powder to add durability. When you need a "fill," you will just book an overlay again.
Sometimes also refer to as builder gel, hard gel is flexible and buildable. It is cured under UV and sometimes could have a burning sensation. All in all, it is similar to acrylic, but is a healthier alternative for your nails. Hard gel is recommended for weak or brittle nails because of its durability. Gel polish is included in our hard gel services.
Hard gel will be applied to real nails to add durability. This is recommended if you have small chips or cracks in your nails because again, hard gel is buildable meaning it can be used to build a nail.
Note - you will still need to book a full set if you want to add length because though we can fix cracked and chipped nails with hard gel, we cannot build length.
