A: Absolutely not, I love dogs!

Q: I've had my nails done elsewhere... can you remove it for me?
A: Before I can apply a nail treatment for you, any existing gel or acrylic must be removed in advance. For gel nails, your existing technician should be able to provide you with the instructions to safely remove them, usually by soaking them off. For acrylics, these would need to be buffed off in most cases. Acrylics, once removed could hide infections or nails that are not healthy enough for any further treatments. Because of my removal or the infill (although done correctly by me) It leaves me liable for the clients nail care immediately, to include the health of the nail, something I’m not willing to be responsible for. Removal should be done safely by the technician that applied it in the first place.

Q: I've got Shellac nails on, how do I remove them?
A: This is a very straightforward procedure. You'll need some acetone, cotton wool and tin foil. Soak small pieces of cotton wool with some acetone (available from most high street stores such as Boots) and place on each nail individually. Wrap these nails in small strips of tin foil for 10-12 minutes. Remove the tin foil and then scratch the residue off once it has begun to crystalise. If it is still hard to remove, reapply the cotton wool and tin foil for a further 3-5 minutes. If acetone is not available, use acetone nail varnish remover, but this will increase wrapping times.
