Shellac Removal

Shellac Removal: what the appointment includes

Shellac Removal is focused on getting the product off cleanly while keeping the nail plate comfortable and intact.

• Quick check of the condition of your natural nails and any lifting or dryness.
• Gentle breaking of the top layer to help the remover work effectively.
• Wrap-off soaking to soften the Shellac so it releases rather than being forced.
• Careful removal of softened product without digging into the nail.
• Light buffing to smooth the surface and remove any remaining residue.
• Finishing touch with nail cleansing and cuticle oil to rehydrate.

Shellac removal that protects nails from peeling damage

Peeling or picking Shellac can pull away layers of your natural nail, leaving rough patches and splits. Professional removal focuses on softening the product first, so it slides away with minimal pressure.

How Shellac is removed in a controlled, wrap-off process

The product is first lightly filed on the surface, then soaked with wraps until it softens. Once the Shellac has lifted, it is gently cleared and the nails are lightly buffed for a smooth finish. The service is typically around 15 minutes, depending on how the product has worn.

Aftercare tips following Shellac Removal

If your nails feel dry afterwards, use cuticle oil daily for the next few days and apply hand cream after washing. Avoid using nails as tools and wear gloves for cleaning to reduce dehydration and chipping.

Next steps after Shellac Removal

You can book Shellac Removal before a new gel application or manicure, or choose to leave nails natural. If your nails are feeling fragile, consider a short break and focus on conditioning and gentle shaping.
