Once the product has been applied and cured, the soft builder gel provides a sturdy yet naturally structured foundation, facilitating both nail strength and aesthetic appeal.

This service not only provides strength to the nails but also promotes their growth, providing a polished and refined appearance. Whether opting for a minimalist approach or elaborate nail art, the versatility of soft builder gel enables endless creative possibilities, while its durability ensures long-lasting results.

Whether you opt for a soft gel or hard gel manicure, it's essential to schedule a rebalance session within three weeks to maintain the quality of your manicure. The purpose of a rebalance is to maintain the structure and durability of your manicure by addressing any cracks, chips, or breaks you may have experienced and to restore the apex to its optimal position. This process not only ensures the correct structural balance of the nail but also avoids the need for frequent removal and reapplication of the product, preserving the health of your natural nail plate unless you desire a significant change in length.

During the rebalancing process, we carefully remove excess product to create a flat base, focusing solely on the enhancement material without disturbing your natural nail. After thorough cuticle cleaning, we reapply the product precisely as it was done during your initial appointment, restoring your manicure to its original state.

Hard builder gel extensions, renowned for their durability comparable to acrylic.  While sharing traits with acrylic in moldability and refillability, hard gel is cured through the use of UV curing. Offering both versatility and durability, it extends the nails and facilitates repairs, ideal for clients seeking length enhancement.

The procedure for hard gel extensions begins with meticulous cuticle refinement and base coat application. Next, the tip is sculpted using forms or dual forms to extend the nail, then cured. Finally, additional layers of hard gel are applied and cured, followed by filing, buffing, and shaping if necessary.

With proper maintenance, hard gel extensions typically endure 3 to 5 weeks. It's advisable to maintain them regularly to preserve proper structure of the extensions. While these can be worn minimally,  nail art or gel polish can also be applied. To remove the extensions it requires filling as the product's durability.

Soft Gel Nail Extensions offer a seamless solution for adding length to your nails. Unlike rigid plastic alternatives, soft gel tips are crafted from a flexible gel material, similar to that used in gel polish ensuring a comfortable and natural feel. These tips are available in various shapes, lengths, and even colored bases to suit individual preferences.

The application process for soft gel extensions is straightforward and efficient. It begins with precise cuticle refinement using specialized tools, followed by a gentle buffing of the natural nail to promote adhesion. Each soft gel tip is carefully sized to fit your natural nail, ensuring a perfect match, and adhered securely in place. Once applied, the extensions can be refined, shaped, polished, and customized according to your desired design.

With proper care, soft gel extensions typically last 3 to 4 weeks. They can be rebalanced as needed or soaked off during each session, offering flexibility in maintenance options.
