Certified Aprés Gel-X extensions in Avondale with full-coverage soft-gel tips, precise shaping and professional soak-off.

Know Before You Book
Gel-X uses pre-shaped, full-coverage soft-gel tips bonded to the natural nail. Because each tip already carries its architecture, Gel-X creates clean, consistent length with a lighter feel than many traditional extensions. Sets are soaked off and replaced rather than filled, making every appointment a fresh foundation.
