FAQs

APPOINTMENT:

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes, our nail salon accepts walk-ins. However, we highly recommend booking in advance to minimize waiting time and avoid disappointment.

How far in advance should I book my appointment?

We recommend booking your appointment in advance, especially during peak times, to ensure you secure your preferred date and time.

Do you offer group bookings or bridal packages?

Yes, we offer group bookings for special occasions such as bridal parties. Please contact us for more information and to discuss your requirements.

What is your cancellation policy?

Clients are required to notify us at least 24 hours in advance for any cancellations or reschedules. Failure to do so may affect your future bookings.

Why was my appointment canceled when I was only a few minutes late?

We value punctuality to ensure all clients receive their full service without delays. If you do not show up on time for your appointment, it may be marked as a "no-show," and the system will automatically cancel it to stay on schedule.

If you're running late, please call us in advance. We’ll do our best to hold your appointment or reschedule if needed.

GEL

What is Gel?

Gel is a nail product cured under UV or LED lights. It comes in types like:

  • Gel Polish/Shellac: Adds color but doesn’t strengthen nails.

  • Builder Gel/Gel-X: Strengthens nails and can add length for extensions.

Choose based on your preferred look and durability!

Do you offer builder gel services?

Yes, builder gel is now available at Marvelous Nails Northland. We offer builder gel services for both natural nails and nail extensions, along with builder refill options.

Why Does Gel Feel Hot Under UV Light?

When gel cures under UV light, it can create a warming sensation. The intensity of this heat depends on your natural nail condition and the gel’s thickness—some people feel it more than others. If the heat is uncomfortable, you might consider acrylic or SNS as alternatives, which don’t create this effect.

SERVICES

Do you use safe and hygienic practices?

Yes, we adhere to strict hygiene standards. We use disposable tools where possible, and all reusable tools are sterilized between clients.

Do you only fix one broken nail?

Yes, we can fix one broken nail if it was done at our salon. However, if your nail was done at another salon, we do not fix it.

Is Acrylic Nails Better or SNS Nails Better?

Both acrylic nails and SNS (Signature Nail Systems) nails have their own set of pros and cons. The choice between them depends on your individual style, the length of nails you prefer, your daily activities, and your occupation. It's best to seek advice from a nail technician to determine which option suits you best.

WARRANTY

Do you offer a warranty for your nail services?

Yes, we provide a warranty for our nail services. Our warranty lasts for 7 days from the day of service. If you encounter any issues with your nails within this period, we'll be happy to inspect and address them. However, please note that we do not warranty any damages resulting from normal wear and tear or careless handling.

Why did my Shellac chip off so quickly?

Shellac is essentially just color polish and doesn't strengthen your nails. The most common reason for it chipping quickly is wear and tear from your daily activities. Additionally, if your natural nails are thin and brittle, Shellac may not last long.

Why is my SNS chipping and cracking?

Your SNS may be chipping and cracking due to several reasons. Firstly, if the SNS layer is too thin, especially if you prefer a natural look, it can be prone to chipping. Additionally, natural nails that are already thin and brittle can contribute to the SNS not lasting long. Lastly, each client's lifestyle plays a role - if they engage in rough activities with their hands, they might find that SNS isn't durable enough, and may want to explore stronger options like acrylic nails.

OTHERs

Do you offer gift vouchers?

Yes, our nail salon offers eGift cards that you can purchase online 24/7. These eGift cards are delivered straight to your email and come with a variety of templates and designs to choose from. Alternatively, you can also purchase physical gift cards in-store, which come with beautiful packaging.

What should I do if I have a specific nail condition or allergy?

Please inform us of any nail conditions or allergies prior to your appointment so we can accommodate your needs and recommend suitable products.

Are children allowed in the salon?

While we welcome children, we recommend arranging childcare during your appointment to ensure a relaxing experience for all our clients.

Can you do nails without filing or drilling my natural nails?

Most nail services typically involve prepping your nails by filing or drilling to remove the natural shine. This helps the nail application last longer. If you prefer not to have your nails drilled, we can accommodate that preference, but please note that we cannot warranty the services in such cases.

Why are my nails thin and brittle after getting them done?

The process of getting nails done, including SNS, acrylic, or shellac, can sometimes weaken natural nails. This is due to the removal process and the use of strong chemicals. However, a good nail salon will know how to minimize damage and keep your nails healthy.
