Services
Soft-gel sets
Soft-gel extensions in the length and shape you choose, with art by design level.
The set is built on a soft-gel tip, shaped by hand and cured under a lamp, then painted. The design level sets how long it takes.

The lamp
Set in thin layers
Each coat of gel sets under the lamp before the next goes on.
Thin layers hold their shape and their shine. It is why a plain set and a showpiece set differ in time: every extra finish is another layer, and another pass under the lamp.

Aftercare and removal
What sets the time
Length, shape, how many nails carry art and which finishes you pick all add time. The menu shows each line's time.
Removal comes first
Wearing someone else's work? Book removal with your set so the time is held and your nails are ready.
Looking after it
Keep oil and hot water off the set for the first day, wear gloves for cleaning, and never pull or peel gel.
