Gel Manicures

We provide dry manicures in single color or nail art options, all with gentle cuticle care and nail shaping.

Gel lasts 2-3 weeks. Expect normal wear and tear.

Gel Extensions with Apres Gel-X

Gel-X Extensions are single use, non-refillable, and made of soft gel that is removed with acetone solution.

We offer single color or nail art options with the extensions.

Gel-X Extensions usually last 2-3 weeks or more with healthy and adequate nail plates to hold the gel extension.

Durability will be compromised when your natural nail plates are too short and fragile, especially with the extra long length.
