Why Choose Salon Fix for Gel Nails
We keep more than 500 gel colours in stock across OPI, CND and Essie, including seasonal shades, so you are choosing from a wall rather than a handful. Our technicians are certified in gel-specific application, and removal is done by soaking in acetone wraps for ten to fifteen minutes — never picked or peeled, which is what actually damages a natural nail. On toes, gel often holds four to six weeks.
Caring for Gel Nails
- Book a fill or removal every 2 to 3 weeks rather than letting the gel lift.
- Never peel or pick gel off — come in for a proper soak-off.
- Keep cuticles moisturised between appointments.
- Wear gloves for cleaning and dishes to extend wear.
- Tell your technician if you want gel over natural nails, extensions, or a switch to acrylic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do gel nails last?
Gel nails typically last 2-3 weeks without chipping. We use premium OPI and CND gel polish systems that cure under LED light for long-lasting, glossy results.
Does gel polish damage natural nails?
When applied and removed properly by professionals, gel polish does not damage nails. Our technicians use gentle techniques and proper removal to keep your nails healthy.
Can I get gel on my toes?
Absolutely! Gel polish is perfect for pedicures and lasts even longer on toes—often 4-6 weeks. It's ideal for sandal season or vacations.
What's the difference between gel and acrylic nails?
Gel polish is applied like regular polish but cures under LED light. It's thinner, more flexible, and soaks off easily. Acrylics are hard extensions built with powder and liquid. We offer both services!
How do you remove gel nails safely?
We soak gel polish in acetone wraps for 10-15 minutes to gently dissolve the gel. We never pick or peel gel off, which can damage nails. Proper removal is crucial for nail health.
Do you offer gel nail art?
Yes! We offer nail art including French tips, ombre, glitter gradients, and custom designs. Many gel colors can be combined for unique looks.
