POLICIES & FAQS

Gel X Extensions are full cover soft gel nail extensions. They are NOT acrylic. The soft gel tips are formulated from the same gel that is in gel polish. The gel tips are adhered to the nail and topped with gel; making the entire extension all gel. This means they are much thinner and more natural-looking than traditional nail extensions.

This really depends on how fast your own nails grow. Everyone’s nails grow out at a different rate. On average, Gel X sets last anywhere between 3-6 weeks.

Any type of nail enhancement can potentially cause damage with improper care. However, Gel X doesn’t involve any of the harsh chemicals that traditional acrylic extensions use. Which makes Gel X a healthier extension option.

Depends on the grow out. Since Gel X is super easy to remove, most of the time you would simply get a soak off and new set each time. I prefer this method because I am able to do a full clean of your natural nail and reset with a clean slate. A benefit of this is you can always switch up your shape/design every set! However if there is not much grow out and the nails are still in good condition , we may be able to fill them.

The removal process is very similar to the removal of a normal gel mani. The top layer of gel is filed off before the rest of the extension is soaked off with acetone. Since everything is gel, the removal is painless and damage free (with proper removal).

The difference with a Gel X set is the use of a full cover gel tip. They come in a variety of shapes and lengths. Gel X would be the best choice if you are trying to achieve a certain shape or length that you cannot achieve with your natural nails. They also provide an extra layer of strength if your natural nails tend to break easily.

Permanent jewelry is a new way to wear jewelry without the use of a clasp. A chain of your choice is custom fitted to your wrist/ankle/neck and the ends are welded / “zapped” together.

Yes! The entire process takes only a few minutes and is painless. Welding tools do NOT touch your skin.

Absolutely! Although it is called “permanent” jewelry, You can snip the jump ring that connects your chain with any pair of scissors or cutters if need be. You can also save your chain to have it re-welded on later.

I only use gold filled chain. Gold-filled jewelry is created when a thick layer of gold (at least 5% of the total weight) is bonded to a base metal (usually brass or copper). The layer of gold is significantly thicker than gold plated jewelry which helps with longevity. Gold plated jewelry usually has a gold content of less than 1%. Gold-filled jewelry is the next step down from solid gold jewelry which helps make the jewelry much more affordable while still outlasting gold plated jewelry.

Yes! If your permanent jewelry breaks at the weld spot within 7 days, I will re-weld it on at no charge. However, if it breaks at another spot, we will have to reassess a repair and there may be a charge.
