Everything you
want to know.

Book online 24/7 through Fresha, or call us at (480) 598-2555. Online booking is the fastest way to secure your preferred time and technician.

Walk-ins are welcome when chairs are open, but full sets — Gel X and hard gel — require a reservation. Booking ahead guarantees your time, your technician, and a relaxed experience rather than a wait.

We ask for at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or reschedules. Same-day cancellations and no-shows may be subject to a fee. Life happens — just reach out as early as you can.

Sometimes. Check availability on Fresha or give us a call — same-day openings do occur, especially for shorter services like gel manicures and pedicures. For extensions, booking a day or two out is more reliable.

Arriving 5–10 minutes early is ideal. It gives us a moment to confirm your preferences, choose your color, and get you comfortable before we start — so the full appointment time goes into your nails, not the intake.

They're mostly marketing names for products in just two families: hard gel (rigid, file-off) and soft gel (flexible, soak-off). BIAB and rubber base are soft builder gels — what our menu calls Hard Gel. We break down every term in plain English in our gel types glossary.

Gel X uses pre-formed soft-gel tips bonded to the natural nail — the route to dramatic added length. Hard gel is our rubber base gel applied directly to the natural nail without tips, building structure and strength from beneath. For most clients it's the better everyday choice — it looks more natural and flexes with the nail, so it holds up to real life. Reach for Gel X when you specifically want length.

Gel X typically lasts three to four weeks before a fill or removal. Lifespan depends on your daily activities, nail-bed shape, and aftercare. Applying cuticle oil daily makes a meaningful difference in how long your set stays lifted-free.

Not when applied and removed properly. The natural nail is only lightly buffed — never drilled or aggressively e-filed. Damage almost always comes from improper removal: picking, peeling, or filing the tip off at home. Always have it soaked off by a professional.

For a complete removal, it soaks off in about 20 minutes with acetone — the soft gel breaks down cleanly, with no filing of the natural nail. At fill appointments we file the old product down instead, carefully switching from a coarse bit to a fine bit for tight corners and edges — the existing gel layer shields the nail, so it does no damage. Never peel or pick it off at home; that's what causes real nail damage.

Yes. The tips come in a range of shapes and sizes that work even with very short natural nails. We can also apply them cut short to mimic a natural length if you want the strength without added length.

Our hard gel is a builder-style gel — thick and self-leveling — applied directly to the natural nail to add strength, structure, and gentle length. There are no tips involved. We use a rubber base gel, which cures into a protective layer that stays flexible — it looks more natural and bends with the nail instead of snapping, making it the best choice for most clients, especially anyone who works with their hands.

Apply cuticle oil daily — it keeps the skin pliable and reduces lifting at the edges. Wear gloves when cleaning, washing dishes, or using harsh chemicals. Avoid using your nails as tools. These three habits alone will add days to your wear time.

Gel nails are fully cured under UV light in the salon, so yes — you can get them wet right away. Just avoid prolonged soaking (long baths, hot tubs, pool) for the first 24 hours while the gel bond fully settles.

Avoid picking at edges, prolonged heat exposure (saunas, very hot water), and contact with harsh chemicals without gloves. Most importantly: don't peel the gel off at home. Always come in for a proper soak-off — it takes 20 minutes and protects your natural nail.

Gel X full sets start at $75, fills from $55. Hard gel starts around $55. Gel manicures from $40. Pedicures from $45. Nail art is priced by complexity. Full pricing is on the Services page.
