What to ask before booking gel-x in London

Do you use Aprés Gel-X specifically, or a generic soft-gel tip?

Aprés is the original system most trained-Gel-X techs use. Generic tips vary in fit and durability.

How do you size the tip to my natural nail?

Good techs measure each nail individually. Pre-sized box sets without measurement lead to lifting.

Soak-off or drill for removal?

Gel-X should soak off in 15–25 minutes with acetone. A drill should never be necessary for the bonded gel.

Can I see Gel-X work after week 2 and week 3?

Anyone can show day-one photos. Week-3 wear shows whether the bond actually holds.

Gel-X in London: FAQ

How much does Gel-X cost in London?

A full Gel-X set runs £55–£100 in London, with appointment time of 90 to 120 minutes. Refills are typically cheaper than a full new set but most studios do new sets rather than refills with Gel-X.

How long does Gel-X last?

3 to 5 weeks with proper aftercare. Most clients book new sets every 3 to 4 weeks rather than refilling.

Is Gel-X better than acrylic?

Gel-X is lighter on the natural nail and removes by soak-off rather than drilling. Acrylic is stronger for extreme length and more durable for hard-wearing lifestyles. Most clients now prefer Gel-X for everyday wear and reserve acrylic for very long sets.
