Classic Gel Manicure

What is a Classic Gel Manicure

For polished, long-lasting colour without nail extensions, a Classic Gel Manicure combines professional nail and cuticle care with gel polish applied directly to your natural nails. Choose from a glossy or matte finish for a neat, beautifully maintained look that lasts for up to 2–3 weeks.

If you already have gel polish on your nails, select Classic Gel Manicure (With Removal) so your existing coating can be professionally removed before your new manicure.

Prefer a natural finish without colour? Classic Manicure (No Polish) focuses on nail and cuticle care, while Classic Polish Manicure is ideal if you prefer traditional nail polish.

A Classic Gel Manicure is an easy choice when you want your natural nails to look polished and well cared for, without the weekly maintenance of regular polish or the commitment of extensions.

Who is a Classic Gel Manicure for?

A Classic Gel Manicure is ideal if you want polished, well-groomed nails that stay looking neat between appointments. It is particularly suited to:

• Those who want long-lasting colour without extensions – enjoy the durability of gel polish while keeping your natural nail length.
• Busy lifestyles – if you don’t have time to refresh your nail colour every week, gel polish provides a longer-lasting finish with less maintenance.
• First-time gel polish clients – an easy introduction to gel polish if you want to experience a durable manicure without adding extensions.
• Those who value an effortless everyday look – choose from a wide range of colours and finishes for nails that look polished and well cared for day after day.

Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want your nails to look immaculate as part of your everyday routine, a Classic Gel Manicure offers a practical and polished finish.

How long does a Classic Gel Manicure last?

The longevity of a Classic Gel Manicure varies from person to person. Nail growth, your lifestyle and how frequently your hands come into contact with water, cleaning products or household chemicals can all affect how long the gel polish remains looking its best.

We recommend having your Classic Gel Manicure professionally removed or renewed after 2–3 weeks, which is completely normal. However, many of our clients return after around 28–32 days, thanks in part to the expertise of our nail technicians and the care taken during the application.

As your natural nails grow, you will begin to see regrowth around the cuticle area. At this stage, the gel polish should be professionally removed or renewed rather than left on indefinitely. Regular professional removal and reapplication helps keep your nails looking neat and your manicure fresh.

For the best results between appointments, avoid picking or peeling the gel polish and take care when using your hands with water or household chemicals. Your nail specialist can also advise on the most suitable appointment frequency based on your nails and lifestyle.

What affects the price of a Classic Gel Manicure?

The Classic Gel Manicure is priced from £62–£70, with the final price depending on the service option you choose.

The price can vary according to:

• Specialist category – your chosen nail specialist’s category affects the final price.
• Gel removal – if you already have gel polish on your nails, select the With removal option so the existing coating can be professionally removed before your new manicure.
• Finish – choose between a classic glossy finish or a sophisticated matte finish.

When booking, select the option that best matches the current condition of your nails and the finish you would like to achieve. If you are unsure whether you need removal, speak to the team before your appointment.

What’s included in a Classic Gel Manicure?

Your Classic Gel Manicure is designed to leave your natural nails looking neat, polished and beautifully finished. The service includes professional preparation of the nail plate and cuticles before your chosen gel polish colour is applied and cured.

The gel polish provides a durable finish designed to maintain its colour and shine for longer than traditional polish. You can choose a glossy finish for a classic, high-shine look or a matte finish for a more contemporary result.

Because the service is performed on your natural nail length, there is no need for extensions. This makes it a straightforward option for maintaining your natural nails while enjoying the benefits of gel polish.

If you already have gel polish on your nails, remember to book the Classic Gel Manicure (With removal) option. If you would prefer your nails to be professionally shaped and cared for without colour, the Classic Manicure (No Polish) is a better choice. Alternatively, choose a Classic Polish Manicure if you prefer regular polish.
