Why Proper Nail Removal Matters

Did you know that the #1 cause of nail damage is improper removal? Ripping, peeling, or aggressively filing off nail products can lead to thinning, breakage, and long-term damage to your natural nails.
At Mitty Salon, we specialize in nail-friendly, gentle removal techniques designed to protect and preserve the health of your natural nails. Our process takes a little longer, but that’s because we take the extra care needed to ensure your nails remain strong, healthy, and undamaged.

What Do We Remove?

No matter what type of nail product you have, we can safely and effectively remove it without harming your natural nails. We expertly remove: ✔ Gel Polish (aka Shellac)
Builder Gel (BIAB)
Acrylic Enhancements
SNS (Dipping Powder)
Hard & Soft Gel

Our Gentle Removal Process

Buff & Prep – We gently buff the surface to break the seal of the product.
Soak-Off Method – We use the safest soaking technique to lift the product without excessive filing.
Nourish & Strengthen – After removal, we apply a hydrating treatment to restore moisture and protect your nails.

Does removing nails damage my natural nails?

The truth is that it shouldn't but sadly too often we see damaged nails as a result of over filing which can happen with improper training.
at Mitty Salon, we use gentle, nail-friendly removal techniques that protect your natural nails. Our process ensures that products like gel, BIAB, acrylic, SNS, and hard/soft gels are carefully removed without thinning or weakening your nails.

How often should I take a break between nail enhancements?

With proper application and removal, you don’t need a break!
At Mitty Salon, we focus on nail health first, meaning that if products are applied correctly, maintained well, and removed gently, your natural nails remain strong. Many of our clients wear BIAB or gel, continuously without issues.

Is acetone safe for nail removal?

Yes, when used correctly!
Acetone is the safest and most effective way to remove gel, BIAB, acrylic, and SNS—but only when used properly and in moderation. At Mitty Salon, we follow a gentle soak-off method that minimises exposure and prevents dehydration or damage to your natural nails.
The key is to avoid excessive soaking and harsh scraping, which can weaken your nails. That’s why we always follow up with nourishing aftercare, including cuticle oil and hydrating treatments, to keep your nails healthy and strong.
For the best results, always trust a professional removal process and never peel or rip off your nails—that’s where real damage happens! 💅✨

Do you offer nail repair services after removal?

Yes we do!
At Mitty Salon, we understand that nails may sometimes need extra care after removal, especially if they’ve been previously damaged by improper techniques. That’s why we offer nail repair services designed to restore strength, hydration, and overall nail health.
