The French add-on typically takes ten to twenty minutes depending on nail length and complexity. If paired with a full set or polish change, we include extra time in your appointment to ensure precise, crisp tips.

Yes. Our technicians adapt the French technique to nail length and condition, using thinner tips or softened smiles on shorter or compromised nails, and recommend treatments before application for best, long-lasting results.

Absolutely. We offer colored tips, ombré fades, or subtle neutrals as variations. Discuss color choices with your technician to match your style, outfit, or event while maintaining the same clean French structure.

Avoid harsh chemicals, wear gloves for chores, moisturize cuticles daily, and use a protective topcoat every few days. Gentle filing and regular salon touch-ups keep the crisp white tips looking fresh and precise.

We can apply French tips over most overlays and gels, but condition and product compatibility matter. Technicians assess your overlay to ensure adhesion and longevity, sometimes recommending removal or prep for optimal results.

Gentle polish removal is fine, but avoid aggressive peeling. For overlays or acrylics, professional removal prevents damage. If changing to a different style, book a tech appointment to preserve nail health and proper reshaping.
