    How do salons remove gel polish?

    Salons remove gel polish using a safe soak-off method designed to protect the natural nail. First, the surface is gently buffed to break the seal, then acetone-soaked cotton is applied and wrapped in foil. After 10–15 minutes:

    • The gel is gently pushed off—never scraped aggressively.
    • A soft buffer smooths the nail plate.
    • Cuticle oil and hydration restore nail comfort.

    This process is far safer than picking or filing at home.

    Should you go to a salon to remove gel polish?

    Yes. Salon gel removal prevents damage, thinning, or peeling that often comes from improper DIY methods. Trained nail technicians use:

    • Professional acetone wraps for even removal
    • Non-damaging tools and techniques
    • Nail assessments to customize the process
    • Cuticle and hydration treatments after polish removal

    A salon visit keeps your nails strong and polish-ready—especially important if you get regular gel manicures.

    Why is it so hard to remove gel nail polish?

    Gel polish bonds tightly to the nail and resists water, soap, and mild solvents – so it doesn’t just peel off. It’s designed to last 2-3 weeks, making removal trickier than regular polish. Common challenges include:

    • Skipping the top-layer buffing
    • Using too little acetone
    • Not waiting long enough for the soak-off

    Without the right method, gel polish can pull away nail layers and cause lasting damage.

    How long does it take for a salon to remove gel polish?

    Most salon gel removals take between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the type and number of gel layers. At inSpirit:

    • Wraps stay on for 10-15 minutes
    • Our techs check frequently to avoid overexposure
    • No drills or harsh filing are used
    • Nails are hydrated post-removal for a clean, smooth finish

    You’ll leave with healthy nails, either bare or ready for your next polish.
