Gel Manicure Glossy, photographed-ready, and built to wear two weeks plus.

Glossy classic red gel manicure on short rounded nails resting on a pink cushion with a red polish bottle nearby.

Our most-booked service. We start with a dry e-file prep that removes lift and rebalances the surface, then push and refine cuticles with single-use steel and disposable sanding bits. We’ll prime, build a thin level base, and apply two coats of gel colour with a hand-mixed top — chrome, cat-eye, or French add-ons available. The finish should be glassy, the edges sharp, and the wear two weeks minimum on a normal week. We pick up, blot off any topcoat from the cuticle, and finish with a drop of jojoba.

Best for

Regulars, professionals, and anyone who wants colour on natural length.

I went in for my friend’s wedding and Mei built me a coffin set in two hours that wore beautifully right through the wedding and the honeymoon. The salon is small and pink and clean. I’m going back for my own birthday next month.

My nails have peeled forever. I tried BIAB at Fresh Set after seeing them on TikTok and three months in I have actual nails for the first time. The cuticle work alone is worth it.

I did NOT need another nail spot in my life. I came in for one chrome French and now I have a standing Friday. The vibe is just so much better than my old place — actual seating area, ring light, real conversations.
