Why clients choose it

  • Two systems, one consultation - soft gel tips for speed and flexibility, sculpted hard gel for strength and a fully custom shape.
  • Length and shape matched to your lifestyle, not forced from a template.
  • No harsh acrylic odour - gel systems cure cleanly under LED.
  • Infills every 3–4 weeks refresh shape, length and colour without starting over.

Questions, answered

Soft gel or sculpted hard gel - which should I choose?

Soft gel extensions are quicker and feel lighter - ideal for first sets and moderate length. Sculpted hard gel is stronger and fully custom-shaped, best for longer lengths or if you're hard on your hands. We'll recommend one at your consultation.

How long do extensions last?

3–4 weeks between visits. An infill refreshes the growth gap, strength and colour without removing the set - most clients book it before they leave.

Will removal damage my natural nails?

Not when it's done properly. We remove gel systems safely with soaking and gentle filing - never prying - so your natural nail stays intact underneath.
