Gel nail extensions use a hard gel to extend your natural nails, giving you a lightweight yet durable finish with real flexibility and a high-gloss shine. They move naturally with your hands and feel comfortable from the moment you leave. Conveniently located in Old Strathcona, Pink Beauty offers evening and weekend appointments to fit your schedule.

Removal costs less when you add it to another appointment than when you book it on its own — it takes less chair time that way. Both options are here so you can choose:
Nail Extension Removal — on its own
$30
A standalone appointment to take off acrylic, gel, or Gel-X extensions. Gentle filing and soaking, taking the time to do it properly.
Nail Extension Removal — added to another service
$20
The same careful removal, added to a new set or fill in the same visit.
Gel Polish / Shellac Removal — on its own
$15
A standalone appointment to soak off gel polish or shellac, leaving your nails clean and ready.
Gel Polish / Shellac Removal — added to another service
$10
The same removal, added to another appointment in the same visit.
Please don’t peel or force extensions off at home — that is what damages the natural nail. Book a removal, and we’ll take them off gently.

Gel extensions are built with a hard gel that is sculpted onto your natural nail and cured under a lamp. The result is lighter and more flexible than acrylic, with a naturally glossy finish.
Acrylic is the stronger, more rigid option and holds bold length and shape best. Gel is lighter and more flexible with a high-gloss look, and many clients find it feels more like their natural nail. If you want dramatic length or you’re tough on your hands, acrylic; if you want a refined, natural-feeling set, gel.
Both are gel. Gel extensions are sculpted from hard gel directly onto your nail, giving your technician more control over the shape as it is built. Gel-X uses soft, pre-shaped full-cover tips, which makes the appointment faster and the result feather-light.
Fills are recommended every 2–3 weeks to close the regrowth gap and keep your set looking fresh. With regular fills you can maintain the set for as long as you like. Gentle hand care helps them last.
An overlay is hard or builder gel applied over your natural nails with no added length. You get the strength and high-gloss finish of a gel enhancement while keeping your own nail length — a good choice if you prefer a shorter, natural look. A full set, by contrast, builds the nail out beyond your fingertip.
Yes — add French Design (+$10) to your gel set. French Design is also available on sculpted acrylic sets.
