10-free means that the products used are free of the top 10 most toxic chemicals found in most nail polish. I exclusively use 10-free, vegan, and cruelty-free products.
It is a common misconception that gel is bad for the nails. Most of the damage that is associated with gel is from the removal process; that is why I lightly file the top coat and soak off the remaining product, ensuring the natural nail never gets filed.
The time between appointments varies depending on the service provided. Gel polish lasts about 2-3 weeks, depending on how rough you are on your hands. Builder gel is more durable but it is recommended that you get a rebalance every 3-4 weeks to ensure there is no lifting of product.
Builder gel is a healthier alternative to acrylic. If you have problems with breakage or thin nails, this could be your solution! Builder gel is free of the harmful fumes that you smell in a traditional nail salon. The process is similar to gel polish but cures harder than gel polish, which adds strength. Builder gel is maintained with "rebalances", similar to an acrylic fill. It is recommended that you get a rebalance every 3-4 weeks.
GelX is a form of temporary nail extension, perfect for a special occasion or to aid in your natural nail growth until you are ready for builder gel! A full "press-on" style nail is applied with a builder gel. These nails should last 2-3 weeks and can either be soaked off or be rebalanced (one time).
In an effort to reduce our use of water, we do not soak feet during a pedicure. Instead, we offer relaxing steam on your legs and feet. With this method, we are still able to provide a luxurious experience while also being eco-friendly. This method also reduces the spread of germs!
Having an appointment booked is in agreement that I am setting time aside just for you! This prevents me from booking anyone else at that time for days/weeks, meaning I would be turning others away. Cancelling last minute strips away the possibility of me being paid or for another paying client to book. Whether a client is in my chair or not, I have expenses in the salon, as well as this being my full-time career.
I always consider the situation and am willing work with a client based on the reason for cancelling!
Thank you for understanding and supporting my passion!
