- Service Overview
Professional Soak-Off Gel Nails — Hundreds of Shades, Flawless for Weeks
Gel nails use a UV or LED-cured polymer gel that bonds to the nail surface and cures rock-hard — delivering a high-shine, chip-resistant finish that standard nail polish simply cannot achieve. Our soak-off gel service is designed to be both beautiful and safe: applied thin, cured correctly, and removed gently without damage to the natural nail beneath.
We stock hundreds of shades from classic neutrals and nudes to bold seasonal colours, shimmers, and nail art options. Your service includes full nail preparation, cuticle work, two colour coats, and a finished top coat — with the option to add nail art, French tips, or gel extensions at your appointment.
- BENEFITS
Hundreds of Colours
Classic nudes, seasonal shades, shimmers, glitters, and nail art options — we carry an extensive professional gel colour range updated each season.
2–3 Weeks of Wear
Properly applied soak-off gel resists chipping, peeling, and fading for 2–3 weeks — significantly longer than standard nail polish.
Full Nail Prep Included
Every gel service includes complete cuticle care, nail shaping, filing, and dehydration prep — the foundation of a long-lasting, adhesive gel application.
High-Gloss Mirror Finish
LED curing produces a glass-like top coat finish immediately after your appointment — no drying time, no smudging, no waiting.
Safe Soak-Off Removal
Soak-off gel is removed using acetone wraps — not drilled off. Correct removal protects the natural nail plate beneath.
Options: Gel, BIAB, or French
Available as standard soak-off gel, BIAB strengthening gel, or gel French — we advise the best option for your nail type at your appointment.
Cured Hard, Finished Flawless
Soak-off gel is a UV or LED-curable nail product that is painted onto the natural nail in thin layers and cured under an LED lamp. Each layer cures hard within 30–60 seconds. Unlike acrylic, gel is flexible and thin — it does not add significant structure to the nail, but delivers an exceptional colour and finish.
- Cured hard under LED lamp — no drying time
- Thin, flexible formula — does not add structure
- Chip-resistant for 2–3 weeks
- Removed by acetone wrap — does not damage natural nail when done correctly
- Available in hundreds of professional shades

- Want longer-lasting colour than standard nail polish

Aftercare Advice
Recommendations for cuticle oil use and when to book your next appointment.
Protect the Seal, Preserve the Finish
Proper aftercare maximises the lifespan and appearance of your gel nails. Follow these guidelines:
- Apply cuticle oil daily — morning and night — to keep the seal between gel and skin flexible
- Wear gloves for cleaning, washing dishes, and gardening
- Avoid using nails as tools — peeling, prising, or tearing shortens gel lifespan significantly
- Do not attempt to peel or pick gel off — visit us for safe soak-off removal
- Book your next appointment at 2–3 weeks for a fresh colour or a removal

Gel Nails — Your Questions Answered
Everything you need to know about extension aftercare, home education, and keeping your hair beautiful — all in one place.
What is the difference between gel and regular nail polish?
Gel is cured hard under an LED lamp — making it significantly more durable and chip-resistant than regular polish. Regular polish air-dries and is prone to chipping within days. Gel typically lasts 2–3 weeks without chipping.
Can I get gel nails over bitten or short nails?
Yes — soak-off gel can be applied to very short nails. If you want to build length, we recommend BIAB or acrylic over gel. We advise the best option at your consultation.
Does gel damage my natural nails?
Correctly applied and correctly removed soak-off gel does not damage natural nails. Damage occurs from improper removal — peeling or picking. We always recommend returning for professional soak-off removal.
Can I get gel nails with nail art?
Yes — nail art is available on any gel base. Book additional time for custom designs. We offer minimalist through to fully detailed bespoke nail art at The Hair Atelier.
