About

Gel Xtensions are full-coverage extensions in one size, a medium almond shape. The service requires bare nails and does not include removal, so clients who repeat it every two to three weeks book a removal each time. The business also helps with at-home removal of Gel Xtensions. The Gel Xtensions Summer Special has three levels starting at $45: a single-color basic set, a classic French or ombre in one color without deep French, and a freestyle artist design. The business says most of its Gel Xtensions clients come in for occasions such as baby showers and prom. It describes its Gel Xtensions pricing as one of the best deals in the state, which is its own claim.

Structured gel is a builder or hard gel laid over the natural nail, not an extension. Structured manicures include cuticle work, and the basic option allows up to three single colors, with nail art chosen from drop-down options. The business says structured manicures typically last three to five weeks with proper home care, and recommends not going more than four weeks between them. Classic gel manicures include a base coat, two coats of color, a top coat and cuticle work, and the business says they typically last two to three weeks with home care. It lists nail shape, growth pattern, using nails as tools and skipping cuticle oil among factors that may shorten wear.

Booking opens to the public about one month ahead, and standing appointments are set in six-month blocks. Weekend appointments are requested through Instagram at least two weeks before the desired date, and the business sometimes adds times outside its usual schedule. Questions are answered through Instagram, typically within 48 hours, and a contact form is also available. Cards and Venmo are accepted; checks are not. The new-client deposit is non-refundable. Loyalty offers include $5 off the next appointment for prebooking before leaving, 20% off for a referred friend once their appointment is completed, and a free appointment after ten completed referrals. Discounts cannot be combined. The business reserves the right to decline any shape that works against a client's natural nail anatomy.

Focuses on structured gel work and hand-painted nail art, with detailed design planning based on each client's interests. Shapes are checked against the natural nail, and some designs are arranged individually through Instagram.
