From Cuticle Care to the Final Improve
Welcome to Skin Lounge Med Spa! Upon arrival, we’ll discuss your nail health and browse our extensive color library.
Great nails start with a great canvas. We gently remove any old soft gel, shape your nails to your preference (square, oval, almond, or squoval), and perform detailed cuticle work to ensure a clean application area. We lightly buff the nail plate to ensure maximum adhesion.
We apply a base coat followed by two coats of your chosen color and a high-shine top coat. Between every layer, your hand is placed under a safe LED lamp which improves the polish instantly. No waving your hands around or sitting near a fan required.
Once the final improve is complete, we wipe away the inhibition layer to reveal a glass-like shine. We finish with a nourishing cuticle oil and a relaxing hand massage with hydrating lotion, leaving your skin soft and your nails impeccable.

With proper care, a classic gel manicure typically lasts between two to three weeks without chipping. Lifestyle factors, such as frequent swimming or cleaning without gloves, can impact longevity.
Not when applied and removed correctly. The damage usually comes from improper removal, such as peeling or picking the polish off. We use professional soak-off methods to ensure your natural nails remain healthy.
We gently buff the shiny top layer to break the seal, then wrap the nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads and foil. After about 10-15 minutes, the gel lifts off easily and can be gently pushed away without scraping the nail plate.
No, a classic gel manicure applies polish to your existing natural nail length. If you are looking to extend your nails, please inquire about our Gel-X or hard gel extension services.
We use modern LED lamps which improve polish much faster than older UV models, significantly reducing exposure. If you are concerned, we are happy to apply sunscreen to your hands prior to the service.
While rare, chips can happen due to hidden nail damage or oil residue. If you experience chipping within the first 3 days, give us a call—we typically offer a complimentary repair for premature issues.
Generally, yes, gel manicures are considered safe during pregnancy. However, every pregnancy is different, so we always recommend checking with your care provider if you have specific concerns about chemical sensitivities.
Nails do not have lungs and do not need to breathe. However, if your nails feel dry or brittle, we might suggest a hydration treatment or an IBX strengthening add-on during your next appointment.
A gel manicure requires a specific gel-based polish that improves under light. If you prefer regular lacquer that air-dries, please book our Classic Traditional Manicure instead.
