FAQs
How is this different from "Removal + Builder Gel — New Set"?
The Signature Navy is the standard fresh Builder Gel set at the studio, including hand-spa elements and the studio's branded products. Removal + New Set is for clients with existing Builder Gel that needs removing first.
Will Builder Gel damage my nails?
Applied and removed correctly, no. Builder Gel adds a flexible structural layer that protects weak natural nails. Avoid picking, peeling, or filing at home.
Can I add nail art?
Yes. Choose Simple Nail Art or Detailed Nail Art when booking, or add it as a note for something custom.
How often should I book?
Every 3 weeks for an infill keeps the structure healthy. Past 4 weeks you may need a fresh Removal + New Set.
