    When booking, you'll see the estimated appointment time for your selected service.

    We allow enough time to provide detailed nail care rather than rushing through your appointment.

    Regular Nail Polish Mani, plan on a minimum 1 hour. Gel manicures will take longer pending services desired.

  • Both services include professional nail and cuticle care, but the polish is different. A regular manicure uses traditional nail polish & air dry, while a gel manicure uses gel polish that is cured under a nail lamp.

    Gel polish is designed to provide a longer-lasting, durable finish compared with traditional polish.

  • No, Tipzy Nails prefers Gel extension tips over acrylics.

    Acrylics can be a higher risk for injuring your natural nail underneath the strong acrylic.

  • A gel overlay is applied over the natural nail without extending its length.

    Gel tips are used when you want to add length to the natural nail.

    Tipzy Nails uses gel tips rather than traditional acrylic extensions, offering clients another option for creating additional length while maintaining a polished, refined appearance.
