Gel Removal is a careful soak-off service that lifts gel polish without scraping, peeling or aggressive drilling. It is designed to protect the natural nail, leave a clean finish, and get your nails ready for a break, a new colour, or a different nail treatment.
More information
What Gel Removal includes
Gel Removal focuses on taking product off safely and leaving the nail plate in good condition.

- Gentle reduction of the top layer to help the soak-off work effectively
- Controlled soak-off and careful lifting of softened gel without pulling at the natural nail
- Light tidy and refine of the nail surface once the gel is fully removed
- Nail shaping for a clean, even edge
- Cuticle oil or nourishing finish to rehydrate nails and surrounding skin
Gel Removal for nails that have been picked, lifted or feel sore
If gel has started to lift, it can be tempting to peel it off. Gel Removal helps remove remaining product cleanly, reduces further splitting, and leaves nails feeling more comfortable.
How the gel polish removal process protects the natural nail
The aim is to let the remover do the work, not force the product off. Gel is softened, then lifted in stages with minimal pressure, so the nail plate is not thinned unnecessarily.
After Gel Removal: keeping nails strong between appointments
Plan to oil your cuticles daily for the next week and avoid using nails as tools. If you want to reapply gel, keeping nails hydrated in between helps reduce peeling and improves how the next set wears.
