Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Dry Manicure ( No Polish or Gel ).

Most dry manicures take 30 to 45 minutes depending on nail length and condition. We tailor time for thorough shaping, cuticle work, and buffing to ensure healthy nails without polish.

No - when performed correctly a dry manicure is gentle and preserves natural nails. Our technicians avoid aggressive filing and over-trimming, focusing on nourishment and proper cuticle care to promote strength and prevent damage.

Yes - buffing during a dry manicure creates a subtle natural shine without polish. The effect lasts days with proper care; avoid harsh chemicals and heavy scrubbing to maintain the glossy finish.

We recommend scheduling a dry manicure every two to four weeks based on growth and activity. Regular visits keep cuticles tidy, prevent snags, and maintain nail shape for consistent, healthy appearance.

Dry manicures focus on natural nails, so they're limited if you have intact gel or acrylic overlays. We can tidy surrounding skin and free edge, but full care is best after removal and nail recovery.

If possible, arrive with polish removed. We can remove standard polish in-salon, which may add time. Please avoid fresh gel polish - book a removal appointment first to prevent extra filing or damage.
