What are gel extensions?
Gel extensions add length using a soft gel tip (Gel-X) or sculpted hard gel cured onto your natural nail — no heavy product, no strong fumes, and no aggressive drilling.
They are noticeably lighter and more flexible than the alternatives, so they feel more like your own nails while giving you the length and shape you want.
At Hideaway your extensions are shaped and finished one-on-one, so the length, shape and colour all come out the way you pictured, and your natural nail underneath stays healthy.
The gel extension difference

Gel-X and hard gel are far lighter, so your nails feel comfortable and look like a polished version of your own.
Gentler on your nails
No harsh drilling and easy, non-damaging removal, so your natural nails stay healthier between sets.

Almond, coffin, square, short and sensible or long and dramatic, plus any colour or custom art you like.

Gel extension FAQs
How long do they last?
Most clients get about two to three weeks before a fill, depending on nail growth and daily wear. Coming in for a fill rather than letting them grow out gives the healthiest result.
Do gel extensions damage your nails?
Applied and removed properly they are gentle. We prep without harsh drilling and remove by soaking rather than forcing, so your natural nails stay healthy between sets.
What is the difference between Gel-X and hard gel?
Gel-X uses a pre-shaped soft-gel tip bonded to your nail. Hard gel is sculpted on and shaped by hand. Both are lightweight and durable, and we will recommend the better fit for your nails and the look you want.
Can I get custom shapes and nail art?
Absolutely. Almond, coffin, square or stiletto, any length, plus colour, French, chrome or fully custom art.
Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome when we have space. Booking online guarantees your time and your technician.
