About

Apprentice appointments are the most affordable way in: a gel manicure lasting about an hour and a half at $40, and a soft gel overlay lasting two hours at $55. Apprentices perform these visits, which don't include advanced nail designs, so design choices are more limited and appointments may run longer.

Overlays are applied over the natural nail and do not add length. Soft gel is used to grow out natural nails, but it can't be used on nails that are already too long. Hard gel overlays use structured hard gel on the natural nail for $90. For added length, Gel-x extensions are the only extension service offered, priced by length from $90 for short nails up to $105 plus for XXL. Gel-x appointments require booking a soak off and any designs separately when needed.

The Japanese gel overlay is a one-and-a-half-hour appointment at $100. The salon describes its Japanese gel as vegan, toxic chemical free and high performing.

For manicures, the Korean gel manicure is an hour at $60 and includes a dry manicure; the salon says this gel is more structured than a typical no-chip manicure. The Dazzle Dry is a 30-minute regular polish manicure at $40, also including a dry manicure, using a polish the salon says resists chipping.

Gel-based services cover a range from apprentice-performed appointments to structured overlays and Gel-x extensions, with designs and soak offs booked separately when needed.
