What's Included

Your appointment focuses on safe removal and nail condition.

  • Brief consultation and nail check.
  • Controlled soak to break down hard gel.

  • Nourishing oil and clear aftercare guidance.
  • Optional prep for a follow-on finish.

Who It's For

Made for anyone wearing hard gel overlays on natural nails. It is not suitable for extensions.

Choose this if you are switching systems, taking a break, or your gel has lifted or grown out. You will leave with clean, even nails ready for your next step.

Suitable for women and men who want a precise, tidy result with minimal stress on the nail.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Allow 30 minutes for removal. Timing can vary slightly with the thickness of the product, colour layers, and how long it has been worn.

Arrive with clean, dry hands and avoid heavy hand cream or cuticle oil beforehand. If you would like a new finish after removal, book enough time so both can be completed in one visit.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Keep nails dry and product-free for a couple of hours after removal. Avoid very hot water straight away.

Apply cuticle oil daily and use hand cream regularly to support nail strength and flexibility. Wear gloves for chores and avoid picking or peeling.

If nails feel delicate, use a strengthening base coat for a few days before your next application. File gently to smooth any snags and book routine maintenance as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this damage my natural nails?
No. The soak-off is controlled to break down the gel while preserving the nail plate. We work gently and refine only the surface so nails feel smooth, not thin.
Is this service suitable for extensions?
No. This removal is for hard gel on natural nails, not for tips or extensions. If you are unsure what you are wearing, contact us with a photo before booking.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive with clean, dry hands. Do not pick, chip or thin the product beforehand. Avoid heavy hand creams or cuticle oil on the day so the soak works efficiently.
Can I have a new application straight after removal?
Yes. You can follow removal with a fresh finish. Please book enough time in the diary to allow for both services in one visit.
How long does the soak off take?
Around 30 minutes. Very thick layers or long wear may add a little time. We will work efficiently while keeping your nails protected.
