Plan your visit

Preparation and aftercare

Before your appointment

Arrive with clean, bare nails free of old polish or hard gels for optimal tip adhesion.
Avoid applying heavy oil or lotion immediately before your visit to ensure primer bonding.

After your appointment

Apply hydrating cuticle oil twice daily to nourish the skin matrix and keep acrylic bonds flexible.
Schedule an acrylic refill every 2 to 3 weeks as your natural nails grow to maintain structural balance.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between acrylic with tips and sculpted acrylic with forms?

Acrylic with tips glues pre-molded plastic extensions onto your natural free edges to extend length before acrylic is laid over them. Sculpted acrylic with forms uses temporary paper stickers under your natural nail edge, building the extension entirely out of acrylic with no plastic tips or glue.

How long does a full set of acrylic with tips last?

A full set of acrylics with tips typically lasts 3 to 4 weeks before needing an acrylic fill (refill) to cover the natural nail growth at your cuticle line and rebalance the structural apex.

Will getting acrylic tips ruin my natural nails?

No! Acrylic extensions do not damage natural nails when applied, maintained, and removed properly by certified nail technicians. Damage only occurs if nails are forcefully peeled off or filed aggressively.

Can I choose any nail shape with acrylic tips?

Yes, absolutely! Acrylic tips can be custom-trimmed and hand-filed into any shape you love—including almond, coffin, square, squoval, oval, or stiletto.

How long does a full set acrylic with tips appointment take?

A full set of acrylic with tips at Galeo Beauty in Hartbeespoort typically takes 60 to 75 minutes, depending on your requested length and gel polish finish.
