Typically Shellac lasts 10–14 days on natural nails with normal wear. Longevity depends on nail growth, daily activities, and aftercare. We recommend avoiding harsh chemicals, using gloves for chores, and booking removal or refill appointments to maintain optimal appearance.

When removed properly by trained technicians, Shellac removal causes minimal harm. We use gentle acetone soak and careful push-back techniques to protect nail layers. If nails are fragile, we recommend treatments and a gradual schedule to restore strength before future applications.

Yes — our Shellac Polish Change service is designed for quick updates. We fully remove the existing Shellac, lightly prep the nail surface, and apply a new color for lasting adhesion and shine. No full manicure required unless you request additional nail care.

Most Shellac Polish Change appointments last about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on nail count and nail condition. Allow extra time if you want hand massage, cuticle care, or special finishes. We recommend booking a 45-minute slot to be safe.

Generally Shellac is considered low-risk during pregnancy and breastfeeding because it's applied externally. However, professionals recommend minimizing exposure to strong fumes and ensuring good ventilation. Consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns or sensitivity, and inform your technician beforehand.

Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh chemicals for the first 24–48 hours. Use cuticle oil daily, wear gloves for chores, and apply a top coat if you like extra shine. Schedule removal or refresh appointments when you notice lifting or growth.
