Typical service lasts 45 to 60 minutes depending on nail condition, shape requests, and whether polish or gel is chosen. We allow extra time for cuticle care, nail prep, and any custom tip shaping to ensure a flawless finish.

Yes. We offer traditional lacquer and long-wear gel options. Gel French Manicures provide glossier, more chip-resistant results and often last two to three weeks. Our technicians will recommend the best finish based on your lifestyle and nail health.

Arrive with clean, polish-free nails and avoid heavy lotions on the nail bed. If you have brittle or peeling nails, mention it when booking. We’ll perform a consultation and tailor prep, trimming, and strengthening treatments as needed.

Lacquer French manicures usually last about five to seven days before signs of wear; gels last approximately two to three weeks. Longevity depends on daily activities, nail health, and aftercare—use gloves for chores and apply cuticle oil regularly.

Absolutely. We can adjust tip thickness, smile line curve, and length to suit your finger shape and style. Discuss your preferences during consultation, and we’ll sketch options or show photos so you can choose the most flattering look.

Protect nails with gloves during chores, apply cuticle oil daily, and avoid picking at edges. Use a non-acetone polish remover for touch-ups and a clear top coat every few days to refresh shine and extend wear.
