About Extension & Gel Polish Removal
Why Removal Matters
I know it’s tempting to peel off your gel or extensions at home, but trust me, your nails will thank you if you don’t. I see so many folks come in with damaged nails from DIY removals. My main goal is to protect your natural nails during removal, so you can start fresh without any drama.
What I Remove
- Gel polish (soft gel)
- Hard gel and acrylic extensions
- Temporary or press-on nails
I handle each type differently, always focusing on gentle acrylic extension removal and safe gel polish removal. No harsh scraping or scary drills here.
The Experience
You can just chill, chat, and let me do the work. I keep things relaxed - no rushing, no rough handling. Sometimes people come in just for a removal and end up coming back for a full set because they see how careful I am. I’m all about building trust and making sure your nails stay healthy.
What to Expect
- No damage nail removal - I work slow and steady, never force anything
- Your natural nails will feel strong, not thin or sore
- I’ll give you tips for nail health after extension removal if you want to keep them bare for a bit
If you want your nails to feel good, not just look good, I’ve got you.
