What is gentle removal of work done at another salon?

I offer gentle, damage-free removal of work done at other salons. The $50 charge covers the time and expertise required for safe removal—whether I am fully removing the product or adapting my approach to protect your natural nails.
Please note: Removal of work done at another salon must be booked with a manicure. Please let me know what type of product is on your nails when booking (ex: hard gel, UV gel, dip, acrylic, gel polish, gel X, etc). If you’re unsure, no worries—book anyway, and I'll handle it.
Sometimes, certain products (like hard gel or specific types of acrylic) can’t be soaked off and must be filed down or grown out safely over time. If this happens, I’ll let you know and adjust my process accordingly. The $50 fee still applies, as it reflects the time, care, and expert assessment provided—saving you the risk of damage from improper removals elsewhere.

My manicures regularly last 4+ weeks if I’m taking good care of them. Not only is Kate a super talented artist, but she’s also helped me care for my nails and grow them out longer than I even thought possible.

Kate made me feel perfectly at ease. I left with the most beautiful nails I've ever had! Nearly three weeks later, they're still immaculate, and the whole experience has made me want to invest in regular appointments and nail care.
