Nail Repair
Like it never happened
Duration: 15 - 20 minutes
Nail repair involves fixing damaged or broken nails using a special technique to restore their shape and strength. We carefully apply a strengthening product to the affected area, ensuring a seamless, durable repair that blends with your natural nail.
Removal
We do remove other salon's work.
Biab Gel Removal
myth: nails need a break
reality: nails need protection
BIAB gel removal is a gentle process that maintains nail health. We file down most of the product before carefully removing the remaining layer, avoiding harsh chemicals like acetone. This ensures minimal damage, leaving your nails clean and healthy.
Duration: 10 - 15 minutes
Builder Gel/ Extensions Removal
myth: nails need to breathe
reality: nails don't have lungs
Builder gel/extension removal involves carefully filing down most of the product to safely remove the hard gel extensions or builder gel. This process is done gently to protect the natural nail and avoid any damage during removal.
Duration: 15 - 20 minutes
Acrylic Removal
myth: gel is bad for your nails
reality: acrylic is dangerous
Acrylic removal involves filing down most of the product and using Magic Remover to break down the acrylic. If the acrylic is extremely thick, we may need to use acetone briefly, but we ensure it’s done safely to avoid damaging the natural nail.
Duration: 25- 30 minutes
Exceptional service as always. I love how every visit the professionalism of girls is always up to the highest standard. I have been to other places around Cardiff and none of those places stands up to Posh Beauty and Academy. None of them scratches even the surface how everything is run. Being a business owner myself I know what it takes to run the business, provide exceptional service, offer the highest standard of service and yet keep the place tidy and everyone happy. The girls seem to have it all and I don’t want to go anywhere else. Ever. Thank you so much ladies!
