Full Sets of Hard Gel Extensions

Add length without bulk. Our Gel Nail Extensions in Sandpoint, ID use hard gel over tips or sculpted forms to create short-to-medium length with a clean, natural profile. We prep meticulously, build a balanced structure (apex + sidewalls), and finish with modern shapes—almond, round, or soft square. The result feels light yet durable and typically wears beautifully between maintenance visits. When it’s time to change or refresh, we use a precise, trained e-file technique for safe removal—no harsh prying. See shapes, timing, and pricing, then book your appointment.

Benefits of Hard Gel Extensions

Hard gel extensions create clean, natural-looking length with a lightweight, durable structure that resists chips and breaks. We use full-coverage tips that are expertly applied and customized to match your nail bed and desired shape, then finished with hard gel for lasting strength and shine.

Each set is balanced for both comfort and durability, giving you elegant length that holds up beautifully through everyday wear.

Aftercare & Maintenance

To keep your nails strong and balanced, schedule regular maintenance every 3–4 weeks. This allows us to safely refresh the structure and keep your extensions looking their best.

At home, apply cuticle oil daily, use gentle hand care, and avoid picking or prying. With proper upkeep, your nails will stay polished, healthy, and beautifully maintained between visits.

See our blog post: Gel Polish, Hard Gel, Dip, and Acrylic. What is the difference?

No. We build a balanced, lightweight structure; thin at the sidewalls with a refined apex so they look natural and feel comfortable.

No. When applied and maintained properly, gel extensions help protect your natural nails as they grow. Our technicians are trained in advanced techniques that keep the natural nail healthy through each appointment.

Yes. You can choose from our short to medium lengths in classic shapes like almond, oval, or square. We do not offer extra-long or stiletto nails at Heather’s Nail Boutique.

Gel extensions are lighter, more flexible, and have a refined, natural appearance compared to acrylics. They’re also odor-free and feel more comfortable to wear.

We don’t do full removals. During each maintenance visit, we reduce the existing gel by about 85–90% using a precise e-file technique, leaving a thin base layer in place. This protects the natural nail and avoids unnecessary re-prepping, keeping your nails strong and healthy over time.

Every 3–4 weeks. Regular maintenance allows us to rebalance the structure as your nails grow, preventing lifting or stress and maintaining the clean, polished look Heather’s Nail Boutique is known for.
