Your appointment
What to expect
Nail Shaping & Cuticle Prep
Toenails are trimmed, filed, and shaped straight across to prevent ingrowns, followed by dry cuticle tidying and light surface buffing.
Dehydration & Base Gel Application
The toenail plate is sanitized, dehydrated, and coated with a flexible gel base layer that cures instantly under LED light.
Color Layering & High-Gloss Sealing
Two coats of rich gel polish and a durable topcoat are applied, sealed along the free edges, cured, and finished with hydrating cuticle oil.
Plan your visit
Preparation and aftercare
Before your appointment
- Avoid cutting toenails too short or rounded at the corners prior to your appointment to maintain a healthy free edge.
- Inform your technician if you have any toenail fungus, open wounds, or ingrown toe painfulness.
After your appointment
- Massage cuticle oil into your toe beds daily to keep the natural nail flexible beneath the gel overlay.
- Schedule a professional gel removal or re-application after 4 to 6 weeks to prevent product lifting and moisture entrapment.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Gel Toes and a full Gel Pedicure?
A Gel Toes service focuses strictly on the toenails (cuticle prep, nail shaping, and gel polish application). A Full Gel Pedicure includes foot soaking, hard skin scrubbing/exfoliation, foot massage, and toe hydration alongside gel polish application.
How long do Gel Toes last?
Because toenails grow much slower than fingernails and face less day-to-day chemical exposure, Gel Toes typically last between 4 to 6 weeks without chipping or losing their high-gloss shine.
Can I wear closed shoes immediately after a Gel Toes appointment?
Yes! That is one of the biggest benefits of gel polish. Because the gel cures completely under LED light during your treatment, it is 100% dry when you stand up—you can slip into socks and closed shoes immediately without smudging.
Will gel polish damage my natural toenails?
No, gel polish does not damage toenails when applied and removed correctly. Damage only occurs if gel is peeled or forced off. Professional soak-offs ensure your natural toenail plate remains healthy and strong.
Can Gel Toes fix uneven or damaged toenails?
Yes! Gel overlays level out surface ridges and can be structured with builder gel (BIAB) or rubber base to give damaged, bumpy, or naturally short toenails a smooth, uniform, and beautiful shape.
