## Frequently asked questions

### Do I need to book?
Yes. The salon welcomes clients Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm, and on Saturdays from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm, by appointment only.

### How long does gel polish last?
Gel polish lasts an average of three weeks.

### Gel, gel polish or nail polish: which should I choose?
Classic nail polish is easy to apply and remove. Gel polish lasts for several weeks. Gel, with tips or sculpting forms, strengthens or lengthens the nail. If you are unsure, show your nails to Sakina or Margarita: they will tell you honestly what suits you best.

### Do you also welcome men?
Yes. Men are welcome at our nail salon. Our treatments offer them a moment of well-being while caring for their hands and feet.

### Do you repair broken or damaged nails?
Yes. Depending on the nail, repair or reconstruction may be possible. The listed price applies specifically to resin reconstruction of a damaged toenail, from CHF 50 excluding treatment. A visual assessment is needed before the service can be confirmed.

### Where can I park?
The covered Centre communal car park at 15 Rue Joseph-Girard, 1227 Carouge, is about a two-minute walk away. The tram is also very convenient: lines 12 and 18, “Ancienne” stop, just steps from the salon.
