The gel hauz is run by owner and nail technician Michelle Melvin and operates from Suite B inside Remedy Aesthetics Studio on Auburn Folsom Boulevard in Granite Bay. Services are grouped into gel, nail enhancements and nail art.
Every visit includes a dry manicure and a finish with an oil or lotion. Natural nail service applies a soft gel for added strength to the natural nail and takes about one to one and a half hours. Builder gel extends nails to the desired length with premium tips or sculpted hard gel and takes about one and a half to two and a half hours. Both enhancement services include one gel color. Changes to nail shape or length are an add-on fee because they take more time.
Apres pre-shaped gel tips are applied with soft gel and can be soaked off at each service or filled once. They need only a light prep and suit any shape and length. Nail art is priced per design based on difficulty and time, with one color included, and clients send a message before the appointment so a design quote can be given.
The salon's gel products are manufactured in Oregon and sourced only in the USA. All of its gels share the same base materials and differ in flexibility and whether they soak off or file off. The salon describes its products as among the highest quality available. According to the salon, about three-quarters of clients have been with it for more than five years, and ten clients have been with it for 25 years.
Protecting the natural nail and nail bed health guides the work, with products chosen to suit each client's nail type and lifestyle. Education about nail products and nail science is a central part of each service.
