Gel Nails FAQs

Gel nails cost between ZAR 60 and ZAR 415 in Cape Town City Centre.

Once you’ve had gel nails applied, they should remain chip-free for between 2-3 weeks.

Although gel manicures look beautiful, they can cause your natural nails to become brittle. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that repeated use of gel nails can increase the risk of skin cancer and the premature ageing of skin on the hands.

Gel and shellac nails both cure under UV light, but their composition is different. Gel nail polish is a lacquer made from acrylic monomers and oligomers; shellac polish is part gel, part regular nail polish, and is a patented brand by Creative Nail Design (CND). Both give a high shine and long-lasting finish.

Gel nails tend to give a more natural and glossier finish than acrylic nails; they are cured under a UV lamp and last for around 2 weeks. Acrylic nails are stronger than gels and start to cure as soon as they’re exposed to air; they generally last for 6-8 weeks but will need fills after 2 weeks to hide regrowth. Both can be used to lengthen nails and both can damage your natural nails.

Once every 2 weeks. Gel nails cure (harden) in UV light; this means they continue to cure in natural sunlight. The longer you keep your polish on, the longer it cures and the harder it is to remove. To reduce the risk of stripping and damaging your nails, it’s recommended that you book in with an experienced nail technician to remove and redo your gel nail polish every 2 weeks.

Book your next gel nails appointment in Cape Town City Centre with Fresha

Fresha is your one-stop shop for the top nail appointments in Cape Town City Centre. Our state-of-the-art booking system allows you to browse the best nail salons near you, pick the most convenient time, and pay securely. All in a matter of seconds. So you can even squeeze your next nail appointment in between work meetings. Problem solved.

The standard for hair, massage and aesthetics is high in your area. Fresha customers have been busy rating more than 30 nail salons in Cape Town City Centre, and it seems they’re suitably impressed. With an average rating of 4.0 stars there’s no question about the quality on offer near you. For instance, there are nearly 10 salons and therapy centres flaunting a five-star rating. So if you're searching for a new spot to try out you've definitely come to the right place. Plus, there are more than 2.5 million reviews globally on the Fresha app and website. Real customers, giving real feedback.

Once you've had a gel manicure, there's no going back to ordinary polish. Gel nails give you gorgeous, durable nails which can last 3 to 4 weeks chip-free.

They can be soaked off when your nails grow out, or when you're ready for reapply. And brands like Shellac are super shiny, as well as hardwearing, with plenty of colours to choose from. A gel manicure is like a regular manicure, only gel polish is set with a UV lamp. So set aside around ZAR 250 for a gel manicure in Cape Town City Centre, give or take. Head to the Fresha mobile app and book a manicure that lasts longer.

If you still need another reason to book with Fresha, we can give you one. In fact, we can give you 1 billion reasons.
