Gel Manicure, at your home

$100 · 30 minutes

My most requested service, and the one that best sums up how I work: no extension, straight onto your natural nail, with the kind of cuticle prep that is where the difference between a well-made gel and an ordinary one actually shows.

What it involves

A gel manicure is applied directly onto the natural nail. It adds no length and no structure — it brings out what you already have. The work is in the preparation: cuticle worked back with proper technique, the nail plate buffed without thinning it, the shape defined with a file, and a free-edge seal, which is what keeps it from lifting after a few days.

Who it is for

For anyone with natural nails that grow well who wants a flawless finish without extensions. It is also the right choice if you have never had gel before and want to start with the least invasive option.

The service includes

  • Filing and shaping
  • Russian-technique cuticle work
  • Gel base, color and top coat
  • Free-edge sealing
  • Cuticle oil and hand massage

Why choose it

  • Lasts two to three weeks without losing shine
  • Does no damage to the natural nail when removal is done properly
  • Cures instantly under the lamp, so you leave with no risk of ruining it
  • The fastest service, ideal when your schedule is tight

Frequently asked questions

How long does a gel manicure last?

Two to three weeks, depending on how fast your nails grow and how much you use your hands. The shine holds until the end.

Does gel damage the natural nail?

The gel does not. Bad removal does — peeling it off or over-filing. That is why professional removal is a separate service with its own technique.

Can I add nail art?

Yes. French, chrome or crystals can be added to any base service, each one adding 30 minutes and $100.
