Nail Care
Hard Gel Extensions
Duration: 90 minutes (full set)
Hard gel is the modern answer for guests who want length and strength without the weight and odour of traditional acrylic. Each nail is sculpted by hand over a form or tip, cured under lamp, then shaped and finished — a full set is a ninety-minute sitting, and the result is a smooth, glassy structure that flexes slightly, like a healthy natural nail.
Because hard gel bonds cleanly and is filed off rather than soaked in harsh solvent, the natural nail underneath tends to stay in better condition across repeated sets. Overlays — hard gel applied over your natural length for strength without extension — and refills every two to three weeks keep the look immaculate as your nails grow.
Finish as you please: classic colour, French with an overlay base, chrome, ombré or hand-painted art. Offered at our Rahmania Women’s branch.

FAQs
Common questions
Hard gel or acrylic — which is better?
Hard gel is lighter, flexes more naturally, applies with almost no odour and is generally kinder to the nail beneath. For most guests it is simply the better modern system.
How long does a set last?
With refills every two to three weeks, a set can be maintained beautifully for months. Without refills, expect two to three weeks before growth shows.
Will extensions ruin my natural nails?
Applied and removed professionally, no — damage usually comes from picking, peeling or improper removal. Book removal with us; it is quick and protects the nail.
What is an overlay?
Hard gel applied over your natural nail without added length — strength and a flawless finish while your own nails grow. Refills keep it continuous.
