Shellac Remove and Hydrate is a quick nail appointment designed to take off Shellac polish safely, then restore comfort and moisture to nails, cuticles and hands. It avoids the temptation to peel or pick, and leaves your natural nails clean, cared for and ready for a break or a fresh set.
More information
What Shellac Remove and Hydrate includes
This service focuses on clean removal first, then targeted hydration.
- Gentle soak-off removal of Shellac polish to minimise stress on the natural nail
- Careful lifting and removal of softened product, avoiding harsh scraping or peeling
- Nail and cuticle cleanse to remove any remaining residue
- Application of nourishing nail oil to rehydrate the nail plate and cuticle area
- Hand cream applied to soften skin and reduce that tight, dry feeling after removal
- Simple aftercare guidance to help nails stay flexible and comfortable
Shellac removal for nails that feel dry, thin or overworked
Shellac Remove and Hydrate suits you if your nails feel dehydrated after wearing Shellac back to back, or if you have lifting at the edges and do not want to pick it off. It is also a good option if you are switching from Shellac to regular polish, or taking a short reset to focus on nail condition.
How Shellac Remove and Hydrate is carried out (soak-off, remove, rehydrate)
The Shellac is softened using a controlled soak-off method, then removed once it is ready, rather than forced. After removal, nail oil is worked into the nails and cuticles, followed by hand cream to seal in moisture and leave the skin smoother.
After your Shellac removal: keeping nails hydrated between appointments
Plan on using cuticle oil daily for the first week, especially after hand washing. If you are doing chores or using cleaning products, gloves help prevent extra drying. If you are rebooking Shellac, keeping nails hydrated between sets can improve comfort and reduce peeling.
