The Nail Bar Glendale

Classic pedicures include a warm foot soak and a foot scrubbing with either a pumice stone or foot file followed by clipping of the nails, shaping of the nails, your cuticles being pushed back, moisturizer and nail polish (if desired).

The Nail Tech will manicure the nails including trimming, shaping, and cuticle grooming. Prior to the gel polish application, she will roughen up the nail bed with a file or buffer (though this process is not required specifically for Shellac). Next, she will dehydrate and clean the nail bed with alcohol then apply the base coat. Following the base coat come two coats of gel polish color then a final top coat. Each polish coat must be cured either under a UV or LED lamp for anywhere from 30-60 seconds (depending on the brand) before the next coat can be applied. Finally, the Nail tech will remove the sticky film residue on the nails using alcohol and apply cuticle oil to the nails to bring back nourishment into the cuticle after the harsh alcohol application.

Gel-X extensions have the malleability of soft gel polish and the length of a press-on or glue-on nail. "[The extension] is made out of gel polish. It's applied directly on top of your full natural nail and can be cut and shaped to your preference."
