Get answers to common questions about French Manicure.

On natural nails, a professional French manicure typically lasts 7 to 10 days before noticeable growth and wear. With careful home care, gentle products, and regular topcoat reapplication, many clients enjoy two weeks of polished appearance.

Yes. French manicures can be applied using traditional polish, gel polish, or over acrylic and dip systems. Gel or acrylic options offer greater durability and longer wear, while regular polish provides an easy, more breathable alternative depending on your preference.

Arrive with clean, polish-free nails and uncoated cuticles for best results. Avoid heavy oils or lotions immediately before your appointment, and let technicians know of any allergies. Bring inspiration photos for custom tip shapes or length preferences.

When applied and removed by trained technicians using proper techniques, a French manicure should not cause lasting damage. Avoid aggressive filing, excessive product removal, or DIY peeling. Regular nail care, hydration, and periodic breaks help maintain nail strength and health.

Prices vary by technician level and chosen application (classic polish, gel, or acrylic). Expect a starting range typically from $30 to $65. Please check our current service menu or call to confirm pricing, add-ons, and any seasonal promotions.

Protect your manicure by wearing gloves for chores, avoiding acetone-based removers, and moisturizing cuticles daily. Reapply a clear topcoat every few days to preserve shine and prevent chips. Schedule touch-ups promptly to maintain crisp white tips and overall appearance.
