A gel appointment is not only about picking a color. Shape, current length, prior product, and whether removal is required all influence the service. Mention lifting or damaged areas rather than covering them, and resist peeling old gel because forced removal can take surface layers from the natural nail.
The gel-vs-dip decision should be based on the look and structure you want, not a universal claim that one is always better. Gel behaves like a cured polish layer; dip powder uses a different application system and can feel different on the nail. A consultation can clarify which fits your priorities.
After the service, use gloves for prolonged cleaning, moisturize around the cuticles, and return for professional removal when the product has grown out or started to lift. Top Nails states that implements are medically sterilized and disinfected after every use.
