Yes. Our service includes safe, professional removal using gentle soaking and filing techniques. We remove the existing gel fully before prepping and applying the new shade to ensure adhesion and a smooth, long-lasting finish.

Basic light filing and gentle cuticle push-back are included to create an even nail surface for polish application. Additional cuticle trimming or nail shaping can be added for an extra fee or upgraded manicure service.

Gel polish cures immediately under the lamp, so you can generally use your hands right away. However, avoid prolonged soaking or heavy cleaning for several hours and wear gloves for chores to maintain shine and prevent lifting.

If nails are lifting, peeling, or damaged we’ll assess and recommend appropriate care. In some cases we may need to treat, repair, or suggest a traditional manicure or delay service to protect nail health.

When properly applied and cared for, gel polish can last two to three weeks before visible wear. Longevity depends on nail growth, daily activities, and aftercare like avoiding harsh chemicals and using cuticle oil.
