What to Expect During Your Extension Removal
- Assessment — We begin by evaluating your extensions and natural nails to determine the best removal method. We'll check for any lifting, damage, or issues that might affect the removal process.
- Buffing — We gently buff the top layer of the extensions to break the seal and allow the acetone to penetrate more effectively. This step helps speed up the removal process.
- Soaking — We soak your nails in acetone to gently dissolve the extension product. We use professional soak bowls and carefully monitor the process to ensure your comfort and safety.
- Gentle removal — Once the extensions have softened, we carefully remove them using professional tools. We never force or pry the extensions off, ensuring your natural nails remain healthy and undamaged.
- Nail care — After removal, we buff, shape, and hydrate your natural nails. We can also apply a strengthening treatment to help restore and protect your nails.
