Gel-X Tips & Refills

 Looking for strong, beautiful nails without the bulk of acrylics? Gel-X nail extensions might just be your new best friend. At our salon, we’re obsessed with how versatile, natural-looking, and gentle they are — and our clients are too!

🌟 What Are Gel-X Nail Extensions?

Gel-X is a soft gel extension system that gives you the look of perfectly sculpted nails without the damage of traditional enhancements. Unlike acrylics or hard gels, Gel-X uses pre-formed tips made entirely out of gel — meaning they’re lightweight, flexible, and healthier for your natural nail. The tips are applied with a special gel adhesive and cured under a LED/UV lamp.

Perfect for:

  • Nail biters trying to grow out their nails

  • Anyone who loves switching up their nail shape or length

  • Clients who want a sleek, natural or glam look

💭 What to Expect at Your Appointment

Here’s how your Gel-X service goes:

  1. Prep: We start by gently cleaning and prepping your natural nails.

  2. Sizing & Shaping: We select the perfect Gel-X tips to fit your nails and adjust the shape if needed.

  3. Application: The tips are bonded using gel adhesive and cured with LED/UV light.

  4. Shaping & Buffing: We refine the shape to your liking.

  5. Color Time: Choose your favorite gel polish — we seal it in for a glossy, long-lasting finish!

Appointment time: about 60–90 minutes depending on your nail length and design.

🧼 What to Be Careful About

To make your Gel-X set last beautifully:

  • Avoid using your nails as tools (no picking or prying!)

  • Wear gloves when cleaning or doing dishes

  • Moisturize your cuticles regularly

  • Don’t peel or pop them off — book a soak-off appointment for safe removal

⏳ How Long Do They Last?

With proper care, Gel-X extensions can last 2–4 weeks. They’re durable, flexible, and less prone to lifting compared to acrylics.

Want to keep the look fresh? We recommend:

  • Refills every 2 weeks using builder gel to fill in new growth

  • A full new set every 3–4 weeks for maximum longevity and shape upkeep

💖 How It Transforms Your Nails

From short and simple to long and bold, Gel-X tips can totally elevate your nail game:

  • Get elegant almond, trendy coffin, sharp stiletto, or timeless square shapes

  • Enjoy a natural, thin finish that mimics real nails — only stronger!

  • Perfect canvas for nail art, chrome, French tips, and more

Clients love how it gives their hands a polished, put-together look instantly.

🔁 Refills vs Full Sets

  • Refills: Ideal if you're coming back within 2–3 weeks. We use builder gel to rebalance and fill the gap, keeping your set strong and seamless.

  • Full Sets: Needed if it’s been a while (over 3–4 weeks), or if you're changing shapes or have significant lifting or breakage.

Every service ends with a fresh coat of gel polish for that glossy, chip-resistant finish.
