Questions

A structured gel laid over the nail you already have. It adds no length and replaces nothing. What it adds is a layer that takes the impact your nail would otherwise take alone, so what grows out survives.

Acrylic uses monomer, is filed on and filed off, and thins the plate over time. An overlay is cured gel applied over the natural nail and rebalanced as it grows. Nothing is built up to replace the nail.

Gel polish is color and shine. It sits on the surface and adds no structure underneath. An overlay is the structure.

Not on its own. It protects the length you grow so you keep it. If you want length now rather than later, Gel-X extensions do that.

Every three to four weeks for a fill. We rebalance as the nail grows so the strength stays where the nail needs it.

Applied and removed properly, no. Damage comes from over-filing and from picking product off. Neither happens here, and we would rather you came back for a removal than took it off at home.

The overlay, committed to. A course over three or six months with a fill every three to four weeks and photographs at every visit, so the change is a matter of record rather than memory. Begin with a complimentary assessment.

See the Protocol

HEMA is the ingredient behind most gel allergies, and a reaction to it is usually permanent. Nothing we use contains it, or TPO. It is a supply decision we made before opening.

Very likely. Tell us what happened and what you were wearing at the time. Dazzle Dry involves no gel and no lamp at all, which is where we usually start.

Our products are HEMA-free, TPO-free, and plant-based, and the room is ventilated. Dazzle Dry needs no lamp. Tell us you are pregnant and we will work around whatever you have been advised.

Yes. Everything we use is vegan and cruelty-free.

Implements are sterilized between every guest. Files and buffers are single-use. Pedicure basins are disinfected between appointments. Ask about any of it, and we would rather you did.

Infection, open skin, inflammation, warts or lesions, and recent injury under the plate. Product laid over an active problem seals it in. We would rather stop and tell you than finish and charge you.

Guest policies

A nail replaces itself in four to six months, so almost nothing is permanent. Book the complimentary assessment and we will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do.

Twenty-nine dollars a month. Every removal included with a paid service, one treatment on us each month, repairs within seven days, fifteen percent off retail and all waxing, a removal to gift a guest, and first call on the waitlist.

See what is included

One acrylic removal costs more than a month of membership. If you come in monthly and wear anything that needs taking off, it pays for itself on the first visit.

Any time, with thirty days' notice before your next billing date. There is no pause option.

Tell us within forty-eight hours and we will fix it at no charge, extended to seven days for members. That covers our workmanship. Everyday wear is a different matter, and so is a nail caught in a car door.

Oil daily, gloves for cleaning, and do not use your nails as tools. Most of what shortens a manicure happens at a kitchen sink.

A small, curated range of aftercare. Ask at the desk, or browse it online. [CHECK: product names and prices]
