Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Regular Polish Change (Hands).

A Regular Polish Change (Hands) typically takes 20–30 minutes depending on polish removal difficulty and nail length. Please arrive a few minutes early to choose a color; we focus on speed without sacrificing a clean, salon-quality finish.

This service focuses on regular polish only; we don't remove gel or hard polish within the regular polish change. Gel removal requires a soak-off or additional service to avoid nail damage — please book a gel removal or express soak-off.

If you have enhancements like acrylics, hard gels, or extensions, this service isn't designed for removal or maintenance of those. Book an enhancement fill or removal appointment instead so your technician can properly address the underlying product before applying polish.

When performed correctly, a regular polish change shouldn't damage healthy nails. We use gentle removal techniques and avoid aggressive scraping. If your nails are thin or peeling, we recommend a brief consultation and nourishing treatments to strengthen them first.

You can have a fresh coat applied immediately after removal; technicians ensure nails are clean, dry, and prepped before polishing. Expect a short drying time — avoid heavy hand use for at least 10–15 minutes to protect the new finish.

Yes — we welcome color requests from our curated selection and encourage clients to bring personal polish. If you provide your own product, we cannot guarantee its performance or longevity and will not be responsible for contamination or formula issues.
