With proper care, GELX manicures usually last three to four weeks before fills are needed. Longevity depends on natural nail growth, lifestyle, and how well you protect nails from harsh chemicals or heavy impacts.

Yes—when applied and removed by trained technicians, GELX minimizes damage because it uses adhesive tips rather than aggressive bonding. Regular salon maintenance and gentle home care keep nails healthy and reduce risk of thinning or lifting.

We recommend professional removal to protect nails. If you must remove at home, soak tips in acetone, gently lift with a soft cuticle tool, and avoid prying. Finish with nail oil and a strengthening treatment to restore moisture and resilience.

Absolutely—GELX provides a smooth, durable canvas for polish, decals, hand-painted designs, and rhinestones. Our artists tailor nail art to your style while ensuring adhesives and embellishments are properly secured for long-lasting wear.

We typically recommend fills every two to three weeks to maintain the shape, prevent lifting, and accommodate natural growth. Clients with slower growth may wait longer; our technicians will advise based on nail condition and lifestyle.

GELX is intended as a standalone enhancement and isn’t recommended over existing acrylic or hard gel overlays. For best results, remove older enhancements professionally and begin GELX on a clean natural nail to ensure proper adhesion and health.
