Who It's For

Ideal for anyone who wants gel polish removed without weakening the nails. Suitable for women and men with gel polish on natural nails who prefer a clean, tidy result.

Not suitable for acrylics, hard gel, builder gel or extensions. If you are unsure which product you have, we can advise at the start of your appointment.

Duration & Appointment Timing

The soak off typically takes 15 minutes. Arrive with clean, dry hands and avoid heavy hand creams or cuticle oil on the day.

Very thick layers or older sets may need a little extra time to release fully. Your comfort and nail health guide the pace.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Apply cuticle oil twice daily for the next few days to rehydrate. Keep hands dry for an hour after removal and wear gloves for cleaning.

File gently if needed and avoid picking or using nails as tools. If reapplying gel, ensure the surface is dry and oil free. If wearing nails natural, use a strengthening base coat for support.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is gel polish removed safely?
We use professional remover and wraps to soften the gel. Once released, the product is eased away without harsh scraping. Your nails are then lightly shaped and hydrated.
Will soak off damage my natural nails?
Done correctly, it should not. The remover dissolves the gel rather than forcing it off, which helps preserve the nail surface. We finish with oil to support comfort.
Is this service suitable for builder gel or acrylics?
No. This appointment is for standard gel polish on natural nails. Builder gel, hard gel and acrylic enhancements require a different removal method.
Can I have new gel applied straight after?
Yes. Many clients reapply immediately once the nails are prepped. This service covers removal only, so a new application would be a separate appointment.
How long does removal take?
Around 15 minutes for typical gel polish. If the gel is very thick or has been worn for several weeks, please allow a little extra time for a gentle release.
