Get answers to common questions about Gel Pedicure.

Gel pedicure typically lasts two to four weeks on toenails, depending on nail growth, activity level, and aftercare. Avoid prolonged soaking and harsh chemicals; wear supportive footwear and apply cuticle oil to maintain flexibility and prevent premature lifting.

Most clients tolerate gel well, but sensitivities to acrylics or adhesives can occur. We recommend a brief patch test for reactive skin, disclose allergies, and use hypoallergenic or gentle products when available. Proper removal minimizes irritation.

Arrive with clean, polish-free toenails and wear open-toed shoes or sandals. Bring notes about recent foot treatments or medical conditions like diabetes. Avoid heavy lotions on the day of service to ensure polish adherence for a flawless, long-lasting finish.

Technicians trim, shape, and prep nails, push back cuticles, and lightly buff the nail plate. A base coat, two color coats, and a topcoat are applied, with each layer cured under an LED lamp for immediate, durable results and high-gloss shine.

When applied and removed professionally, gel pedicures should not permanently damage nails. Excessive buffing or forceful removal can weaken plates over time. We use gentle techniques, recommend breaks between services when needed, and advise cuticle oil to maintain nail strength and hydration.

Removal typically takes 15–30 minutes depending on gel thickness and nail condition. We gently file and soak off polish or use acetone wraps, minimizing heat and friction. Book removal with your appointment to ensure safe technique and prevent nail damage.
