When it comes to achieving beautiful, long nails, you have more options than ever. Two of the most popular choices at our salon are traditional Acrylics and modern Gel-X extensions. But what’s the difference, and which one should you choose?
Acrylic Nails are a time-tested classic. They are created by mixing a liquid monomer and a powder polymer to form a durable, hard layer over your natural nail. They are known for their strength and longevity, making them a great option for those who are hard on their hands.
Gel-X Extensions, on the other hand, are a newer innovation. They are pre-shaped, full-coverage soft gel tips that are applied directly to your natural nail with a strong gel adhesive. They are lighter, more flexible, and often considered a healthier alternative as they cause less stress on the natural nail. The removal process is also gentler.
The best choice depends on your lifestyle and nail goals. If you desire maximum strength, acrylics may be for you. If you prefer a lightweight feel and a gentler application, Gel-X is an excellent choice. Talk to our expert technicians today to find your perfect fit!
