What to Expect During Your SoftGel Extension Service
- Nail consultation — We begin by discussing your desired length, shape, and style preferences. Whether you want a natural, subtle look or something more dramatic, we'll create the perfect extensions for you. We also discuss colour options and any nail art you'd like.
- Natural nail preparation — Your natural nails are gently buffed and primed to ensure proper adhesion. This step is gentle and prepares your nails for the SoftGel application without damaging them.
- SoftGel tip selection and fitting — We carefully select the perfect size SoftGel tip for each of your nails. The tips are custom-fitted to ensure a seamless, natural appearance that looks like your own nails.
- Tip application and bonding — Using a professional gel adhesion system, we apply the SoftGel tips to your natural nails. The bond is secure and comfortable, ensuring your extensions stay in place for weeks.
- Blending and shaping — Once applied, we blend the tips with your natural nails for a seamless appearance. We then shape the nails to your desired style, ensuring a perfect, natural-looking finish.
- Colour or design application — The final step is applying Shellac, gel polish, or nail art to complete your look. We have an extensive range of colours and designs to match your personal style and occasion.
