Frequently Asked Nail Salon Questions

What nail services do you offer?

We offer a full range of nail services, including manicures, pedicures, gel polish, Luminary Gel, builder gel, Gel-X extensions, dip powder, acrylic nails, poly/tap gel, and nail art.

How do I know which nail service is right for me?

The best service depends on your natural nails, desired length, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences. If you’re unsure what to book, our nail professionals will be happy to recommend the best option for you.

What’s the difference between builder gel, Gel-X, dip powder, and acrylic?

Builder gel adds strength and structure to natural nails and can typically be maintained with fills. Gel-X uses full-cover soft gel tips for instant length, dip powder creates a durable coating using acrylic powder, and acrylic provides maximum strength and flexibility for customized length and shape.

How often should I get my nails done?

Most nail enhancements are maintained every 2–3 weeks, depending on how quickly your nails grow, your lifestyle, and the type of service you receive.

What will I do if I want to buy a gift card?

Our physical gift cards are available at our location of 64 Powell Rd, Lewis Center, OH 43035. We also offer e-gift cards. You can purchase through our website.

What is 7 days warranty?

Our 7 days service warranty will cover you for any problem among the followings with no charge:

  • If your gel polish is chipped or peeled, we will do a touch-up or re-polish depending on the situation.
  • If your acrylic nails are chipped, lifted, or broken, we will repair them until you’re satisfied.
  • When you want to change color, reshape nails, or even if you want another nail design, please do not hesitate to come and discuss within five days after your previous service.

Elodie Nail Lounge hopes to bring customers the upscale service and get 100% satisfaction from customers.

How long do gel, dip, builder gel, and acrylic nails last?

Most services can look beautiful for approximately 2–3 weeks before maintenance is recommended. Longevity varies based on nail growth, lifestyle, natural nail condition, and aftercare.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are highly recommended to ensure your preferred service, time, and nail technician are available. Walk-ins are welcome and accommodated whenever availability allows.

What should I do if my nail chips or breaks?

Please contact us as soon as possible. Our team will assess the nail and determine the best repair option based on your service and the condition of the nail.

How can I make my nails last longer?

Use cuticle oil regularly, wear gloves when cleaning or working with chemicals, avoid using your nails as tools, and never pick or peel off nail enhancements. Proper aftercare can make a significant difference in how well your nails wear.

12. How long does a gel manicure last?

Gel polish manicures typically last about two weeks for most people.

The durability of gel polish depends on the specific condition and how frequently you use your hands for activities.

14. Do you require a deposit?

Deposits may be required for certain appointments or large groups.

What is builder gel?

Builder gel is a thicker, structured gel designed to add strength, support, and durability to your natural nails. It helps create a smooth, beautifully shaped nail while maintaining a lightweight and natural-looking finish.

Who is builder gel best for?

Builder gel is ideal for clients who want to strengthen and grow their natural nails, especially those who experience bending, peeling, or frequent breakage. It’s also a great choice for anyone who prefers a structured, natural-looking manicure.

What’s the difference between builder gel and dip powder?

Builder gel is a gel-based system that creates strength and structure and can typically be maintained with fills. Dip powder uses an acrylic powder system and is generally removed and reapplied when changing sets. Builder gel is especially popular with clients who want to maintain and grow their natural nails.

Can builder gel be filled?

Yes. Builder gel can typically be maintained by filling the new-growth area instead of completely removing the product at every appointment. This makes it a great option for clients who want ongoing maintenance while growing their natural nails.

Can builder gel add length?

Yes. Builder gel can be applied over natural nails or used with extensions when additional length is desired. Your nail technician can recommend the best option based on your natural nails and desired length.

How long does builder gel last?

Builder gel typically lasts about 2–3 weeks before a fill or maintenance appointment is recommended. Longevity depends on your nail growth, lifestyle, natural nail condition, and aftercare.

Do I need to remove builder gel at every appointment?

Usually, no. If the existing product is still in good condition, your nail technician can file and rebalance the enhancement before filling the new-growth area. A complete removal may occasionally be recommended depending on the condition of the product or natural nail.

How should I care for builder gel nails?

Apply cuticle oil regularly, wear gloves when cleaning or using chemicals, and avoid using your nails as tools. Never pick, peel, or forcefully remove builder gel, as this can damage the natural nail underneath.
