With dip powder, your nails are sealed with a colored powder and a bonding resin rather than cured polish. The result is a hard, long wearing finish that often outlasts a gel manicure, which makes dip a favorite for people who are hard on their hands or simply hate chips.
The clean way to do dip
The one thing to know about dip is hygiene. Some salons dip every client's fingers into one communal jar, which is not sanitary. We do not. Powder is applied to your nails individually in a clean way, so you get all the durability of dip without sharing a pot. It is the kind of detail that has kept our clients coming back for over ten years.
Dip, gel or Gel-X?
Dip is best for durable color on your natural length. For glossy, easy to change color choose a gel manicure; for added length and strength choose Gel-X extensions. Our dip vs gel guide and full comparison help you decide. Current pricing is on the pricing page.
