At Nailed It Spa in Fresno, acrylic removal is booked as Take Off Acrylic, which takes 25 minutes and costs $20.

What happens during acrylic removal?

Acrylic is usually removed by soaking it to soften the product, then filing it down gradually. Picking or pulling at acrylic can hurt your natural nail, so leave removal to the salon.

Can you get a new set right after removal?

Yes, you can put removal and a new service in the same appointment, with removal coming first. Choose both on the booking page.

If you are deciding between a fill and a new set, read Full Set vs Fill: When Do You Need Each? before you book.

What can you get after acrylic removal?

  • Acrylic Full Set (60 minutes, $50) if you want another acrylic enhancement.
  • Gel X (60 minutes, $60) if you want a soft gel extension.
  • Gel Builder (60 minutes, $55) if you want an overlay on your natural nails.
  • Signature Mani (30 minutes, $23) if you prefer natural-nail care with polish.

Caring for natural nails after removal

After the acrylic is off, use your natural nails gently for a while, do not pull at product that remains, and avoid using the nail edges as tools. Keep your hands moisturized. If you have pain, redness or swelling, ask a doctor and tell the salon when you book.
