Your Manicure Gel Removal and Reapplication Experience

From Soak-Off to Show-Stopping Shine

Arrival & Consultation

Upon arriving at Skin Lounge Spa in Boca Raton, you will be welcomed into our serene environment. Your nail technician will inspect your current gel manicure to determine the best removal method and discuss your nail health goals. You will then select your new color from our premium, long-lasting gel collections.

Gentle Removal

We prioritize the health of your nail plate. We gently buff the top layer of the old gel to break the seal, then apply acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil. This allows the gel to lift without aggressive scraping or damage to the natural nail.

Prep & Application

Once the old polish is removed, we shape your nails, tidy the cuticles, and buff the surface for smoothness. A base coat is applied and cured, followed by layers of your chosen color and a durable top coat, cured under an LED light for an instant dry finish.

Hydration & Aftercare

The service concludes with a nourishing cuticle oil massage and a hydrating hand cream application to replenish moisture lost during the soak-off process, leaving your hands soft and your nails impeccable.

Common Questions About Manicure Gel Removal and Reapplication

Does the gel removal process hurt?
Not at all. When done correctly by a professional, the soak-off process is painless. We never pry or rip the polish off, which is what causes pain and damage.
How long should I wait between gel manicures?
With modern, high-quality gels, you don't necessarily need a 'break' if your nails are healthy. However, we monitor your nail integrity at every appointment and will advise if a rest period is needed.
Can I peel the gel off myself if it starts lifting?
Please don't! Peeling off gel removes layers of your natural nail plate, leading to thin, weak nails. It is always safer to come in for a professional removal or repair.
Do you use a drill or e-file for removal?
We may use an e-file to gently remove the top coat (the shiny layer) to speed up the soaking process, but we do not use it on the natural nail plate to avoid thinning.
Will the UV light age my hands?
We use LED lamps which cure polish faster and have significantly lower UV exposure than older models. For extra peace of mind, we offer collagen gloves or sunscreen application before curing.
How long will my new gel manicure last?
Most clients enjoy 2 to 3 weeks of chip-free wear. Lifestyle factors, such as frequent water exposure or typing, can influence longevity.
Can you remove gel that was applied at another salon?
Yes, we can. However, please let us know when booking, as some products (like hard gel or acrylic) require more time to remove than soft gel.
Is gel polish safe for pregnancy?
Generally, yes. Our salon is well-ventilated and we use high-quality, non-toxic gel brands. However, we always recommend consulting your physician if you have specific concerns.
What if I have a fungus or nail infection?
For safety and hygiene, we cannot apply gel over an active infection. We will recommend a treatment plan or refer you to a specialist before resuming cosmetic services.
Can I add nail art to this service?
Absolutely. Please mention this when booking so we can allocate the appropriate amount of time for your desired design.
