Gel Extensions
What better way to treat yourself than with Gel Nail Extensions at Elegance Brow and Nail bars?
Gel is a specific mixture that is painted either on top of an artificial nail extension or directly onto the natural nail bed to strengthen the nail and promote natural growth.
The gel is usually applied in very fine layers, with the nail technician ‘curing’ or ‘sealing’ the gel with a UV light between each layer. This results in nails that are hard but still flexible with a natural looking glossy finish which is both instantly dry and chip resistant.
Although gel is a popular choice for adding length on top of an existing artificial extension, it is also a fantastic treatment for those who have very short, weak or bitten nails as it allows the natural nail to strengthen and grow below the layer of gel.
The life of gel nail extensions will vary hugely from person to person and is dependent upon numerous factors.
At Elegance, we recommend that you have your gel nail extensions either touched up with infills or removed every three to four weeks. Gel nails should always be removed by a nail technician, and under no circumstances should you attempt to remove your gel nails at home.
This treatment takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes, although we would recommend coming in a few minutes earlier so you have time to choose the colour.
