Not when applied and removed correctly by a trained professional. Our technicians ensure proper application and advise you on safe aftercare, so your natural nails stay healthy.

A gel manicure at our Chokkanahalli salon takes around 45–60 minutes, including nail prep, shaping, curing and top coat. Gel extensions may take longer — typically 90–120 minutes — as they involve adding length and structure.

While it is possible, we do not recommend DIY removal unless you know the proper technique. Improper removal (like peeling or scraping) can damage your natural nails. We offer safe, professional gel polish removal at the salon.

Gel extensions are an overlay added to your natural nails to increase length and durability. They're ideal if your nails are short, brittle, or don't grow easily. We offer soft gel, gel, acrylic and French tip extensions, with gel polish included in most options.

With proper care, gel polish can last up to 3 weeks, while gel extensions can last 2–4 weeks, depending on nail growth and your daily routine.

Yes! Alongside gel nails and extensions, we offer Deluxe, Candle, Classic and Luxury manicure and pedicure treatments for both women and men, each including cuticle care, scrub, massage and a finishing nail paint or gel polish of your choice.

We'll guide you on how to care for your nails at home — including moisturising your cuticles, avoiding harsh chemicals, and not using your nails as tools. We recommend a follow-up visit every 2–3 weeks at our nail salon near Thanisandra.
