Get answers to common questions about GelX Broken Nail Repair.

Most single-finger GelX repairs take 15-30 minutes depending on damage, shape matching, and color blending. We replace the broken tip, cure it, and finish for a seamless look so you can leave with uniform, wearable nails.

Yes. We custom match the gel color and sculpt the tip to mirror your extension's original shape. Our technicians visually inspect and adjust until the repaired nail blends seamlessly with the rest of your set.

Yes. Depending on lift extent, we can often salvage and reinforce the extension by removing compromised material, re-bonding or replacing the tip, and ensuring a secure cure so the remaining nail stays intact.

No need. Please keep your nail as-is; technicians will assess the damage and remove or prep any polish as needed to match the repair. Arriving with the existing polish helps ensure accurate color and finish matching.

A professional repair should last until your next scheduled refill, typically one to three weeks depending on growth and wear. Proper aftercare and gentle use will extend durability but heavy stress may shorten lifespan.

When performed by trained technicians, repairs are safe and minimally invasive. We remove only compromised material, protect the natural nail with proper bonding, and recommend gentle aftercare to prevent additional stress or lifting.
