FAQ
What is a structured manicure and how long does it last?
A structured gel manicure designed to add strength, shape, and durability to your natural nails. Ideal for clients who want to achieve and maintain longer natural nails or are looking for up to four weeks of wear with proper care. This service includes detailed cuticle work, customized shaping, and a structured gel overlay finished with your choice of gel color for beautiful, long-lasting results while supporting the health of your natural nails.
How long does a traditional gel manicure last? How is it different from a structured manicure?
A classic gel manicure uses a soakable soft gel product for long-lasting color and shine. This service includes detailed nail preparation and cuticle care. Ideal for short to medium-length natural nails. This service is perfect for those who enjoy regular maintenance, prefer a quicker service time or want to be able to safely remove the gel at home.
I’ve never been to the studio, how do I find you?
The studio is located on the second floor of the building inside Revive Salon Collective, room 115. Go right at the top of the stairs, then follow along the hallway. The front door to the suites will be on the left-hand side. You will then just follow the hallway until you reach room 115. There are couches and open seating along the way if you’re early. You can always msg me when you’ve arrived and I can meet you at the stairs. If stairs aren’t an option for you, there’s an elevator in the building that comes up to the second floor as well, and there’s free parking in the lot outside.
Can I bring nail inspiration photos?
Absolutely. I actually encourage it! You can also msg them to me on Instagram.
I’m not comfortable with the E-file, can I get a manicure without it?
Yes. All services, excluding structured manicures, can be done without the electric file. If this is something you’d prefer you can include it in your booking notes or just let me know at the start of your service. It’s not a problem.
I want to take a break from the gel. Can I get the gel safely removed and just get a regular manicure?
Yes you can. Sometimes nails are just for special occasions, or maybe your budget has changed. A proper removal will make sure your nails are in good shape. You won’t be worse off for having had them done.
Can I bring someone with me to my appointment?
The studio doesn’t have any extra seating, but there are a couple of chairs throughout the halls of the salon itself. So yes you can, but you will not be seated together during your service. Because of this, it’s encouraged to not bring in any children.
