Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Full Set Extensions (Gel-X or Acrylic).

With proper care, Gel-X sets usually last 2–3 weeks before a fill is needed; acrylic can last 3–4 weeks. Lifespan varies with nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare. Regular fills preserve shape, strength, and appearance.

Gel-X is generally gentler due to lightweight application and easier removal, reducing stress on the natural nail. Acrylic offers greater strength but demands careful removal. We evaluate your nail condition and recommend the healthiest option for your needs.

Appointments typically take 60–90 minutes depending on chosen method, nail prep, and any customization. Gel-X tends to be quicker; acrylic may require extra sculpting and curing time. We'll give an accurate timeframe when you book.

Proper application and professional removal minimize damage. Our technicians use safe prep, appropriate adhesives, and gentle removal techniques to protect the natural nail. Follow aftercare guidance and schedule fills to prevent lifting, breakage, and thinning.

Keep nails dry when possible, avoid harsh chemicals and long soaking, moisturize cuticles daily, and wear gloves for chores. Schedule fills every 2–3 weeks and book professional removal to maintain nail health and appearance.
