Gel-X nail extensions

Seamless, lightweight soft-gel extensions — instant length that looks and feels like your own nails.

The service

Instant length, seamless finish

Gel-X is a soft-gel extension system: full-cover tips are bonded to your natural nail with gel, then cured. Unlike traditional acrylic there is no harsh odour, and the extension is thin, flexible and natural-looking.

We prep your nails with the same meticulous cuticle care as our manicures, size each tip to your nail bed, then shape and finish with your chosen colour or art.

Long, Extra Long and longer lengths are subject to an additional $20 because of the added service time.
