What is Gel Removal?
Our Gel Removal service safely removes gel polish using the professional soak-off method — no drills, no machinery, no damage to your natural nails. It's a standalone service for clients who want their gel removed without rebooking a full manicure, or it can be added to any other nail appointment.
