Gel-X nail extensions
Gel-X nail extensions in Los Angeles.
Natural-looking length with a thin, light feel. Signature Gel-X sets for $95 at five Nail Garden salons across Los Angeles.
Gel-X nail extensions
Length that feels like your own nails.
Gel-X uses a full-coverage soft gel tip that is shaped in advance and bonded to your natural nail with gel, then cured under a lamp. Because the tip is already shaped, the result is thin, even and very natural looking.
It is a good choice if you find acrylic too thick. Gel-X soaks off, so removal is gentler than filing off acrylic. Our Signature Gel-X price includes removal of your old gel.

What to know about Gel-X
A new set each time
Gel-X is usually a full new set rather than a fill. The old set soaks off, which is gentler on your natural nail than filing.

What is Gel-X?
Gel-X uses a full-coverage soft gel tip that is shaped in advance and bonded to your natural nail with gel, then cured under a lamp. The result is thin, even and very natural looking.
Gel-X or acrylic: which is better?
Gel-X feels lighter and more natural. Acrylic is the strongest and most sculptable option, which is why it is still a favorite for extra-long sets and bold shapes. Our guide compares them side by side.
Is Gel-X removal harsh on my nails?
Gel-X soaks off, so removal is gentler than filing off acrylic. Most nail damage comes from picking or peeling extensions off at home, so let a nail tech remove them. Gel-X removal without a new set is $20.
Is Gel-X a fill or a new set?
Gel-X is usually a full new set each time rather than a fill.
Which salons offer Gel-X?
Our Los Angeles salons in Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Burbank, North Hollywood (NoHo West) and El Segundo list Gel-X on the menu. Confirm availability when you book.
