Most clients enjoy two to three weeks of chip-resistant wear depending on daily activities and nail growth. Proper prep and curing at J Madison Spa maximize longevity and maintain a glossy finish throughout.

Yes. Our Gel Manicure w/Removal accommodates nail art, French tips, and embellishments. Please mention design requests when booking so we can allocate extra time and ensure precise application without compromising removal or nail health.

We assess nail condition before treatment and may recommend strengthening base coats or a light-gel formula. In some cases we suggest a standard manicure or nail-care regimen until nails recover to prevent further stress.

Avoid prolonged soaking and use cuticle oil daily; wear gloves for chores and reapply top coat if polish shows wear. Schedule regular fills or visits to maintain health and extend the life of your gel manicure.
