Gel Manicure

Enjoy comprehensive cuticle care, nail filing, and shaping, all while selecting your favorite gel color to complete your look. Gel Polish hardens under a UV or LED lamp and lasts about 2 weeks.

Need added strength?
Builder gel, Hybrid gel, Hard gel, and Acrylic are all structural nail enhancements, but they differ in consistency, flexibility, removal method, and ideal use cases.

Builder Gel

Definition: A structural gel applied over the natural nail but under gel color to add strength, shape, and durability.
Removal: Many are soak‑off (acetone) soft builder gels; some may require filing
Flexibility: Softer, more flexible than hard gel; designed for natural nail reinforcement rather than long extensions
Best for: Overlays, strengthening natural nails

Hybrid Gel

Definition: A thick, putty‑like gel (often called Polygel) that combines the durability of acrylic with the flexibility of gel
Removal: File‑off only; not soak‑off
Flexibility: More flexible than hard gel but less than soft builder gel; holds shape well for sculpting.
Best for: Sculpting short to long extensions, on natural nails or tips

Hard Gel

Definition: A firm, non‑porous structural gel that creates a rigid, long‑wearing enhancement
Removal: File‑off only; acetone cannot penetrate 
Flexibility: Rigid, high durability
Best for: Long extensions, natural nails & tips, clients wanting maximum strength, clients who use chemicals or wash hands a lot

Acrylic 

Definition: Combines a liquid monomer with a powdered polymer to form a paste that is sculpted over the natural nail with tips and then hardens into a durable, protective layer

Removal: File-off or soak off

Flexibility: Rigid, its elasticity is limited

Best For: Short to long extensions with tips

Gel X

Gel X nails are a modern nail extension solution that uses pre-shaped, soft gel tips bonded to the natural nail with a gel adhesive and cured under a UV or LED lamp, creating a seamless, lightweight, and flexible extension

Pedicures

Dry Pedicure

A better option when it comes to foot and nail services because they are more hygienic, reduce infection risk, improve polish longevity, and allow more precise foot care.

Your pedicure comes with the basics for toenail care (trimming, filing, cuticle care, exfoliation & polish of your choosing).  You can also add on extra services to create the best pedi for you!

IT IS ILLEGAL TO CARE FOR INGROWN NAILS.  IF YOU NEED HELP WITH INGROWN, PLEASE SEEK A PODITRIST I will not work on them.
