Lotus Beauty Lounge is such an amazing experience. Patience is exceptional, my nails are always unique and beautifully done, and they last so long. She is honestly the best! Isabelle's hands are absolute magic, I recommend a full pedi by her for a completely relaxing experience. They give you the whole package and you will definitely leave their place feeling refreshed and renewed.

The talent is insane. The service is impeccable. My nails have been flourishing ever since I started my journey here. They’re no longer weak and brittle which is something I’ve struggled with for a long time. Bonus points to Glow Nail Bar for ensuring that I’m always winning the nail battle in my office. 100/10 would always recommend.

Gel Nail Extensions FAQs
Gel nail extensions last for 2-3 weeks and should then be removed. Acrylic nail extensions can last for 6-8 weeks, but will need fills after 2-3 weeks to hide regrowth.
It’s a matter of personal preference. Gel nail extensions are more natural looking and are considered a healthier alternative to acrylic extensions, however they won’t give you the extreme nail length acrylics can.
There isn’t sufficient evidence to say, but generally gel nails are thought to be the healthiest type of nail extension because the removal process involves chemicals that are less damaging to your nails than those used to remove acrylic nail extensions.
Hard gel. It is non-porous, resistant to acetone, and is highly effective in extending the nail length.
Gel nails last 2-3 weeks without chipping.
You should expect to pay between ZAR 40 and ZAR 490 for gel nail extensions.
