Gel nails — gel polish, often called by brand names such as Shellac — are a polish applied in thin coats and cured under a UV or LED lamp after each one. The result is fully dry the moment you leave, high-shine and chip-resistant for two to three weeks, which is why gel has largely replaced ordinary polish in salons. It goes over your natural nails and adds no length.
A gel manicure usually includes shaping, cuticle work and a base, colour and top coat. On toes it lasts even longer, often four to six weeks. Removal matters as much as application: the gel should be soaked off in acetone or gently filed, never peeled, because peeling strips layers off the natural nail with it.
Allow 45 minutes to an hour for a gel manicure and around 15 more if you need old gel removing first. Some people develop an allergy to gel products over time, and reputable salons use brands that publish their ingredients and cure them fully.

There are relatively few large salons: much of the market is independent technicians and small salons with a loyal, repeat clientele, and a good number of nail and lash technicians work from home salons. Kelham Island has the newest and youngest end, in converted industrial blocks, with brow and lash studios and nail artists; Ecclesall Road is the busiest corridor, lined with established salons, skin clinics and nail bars, and the easiest place to find weekday availability; Broomhill serves the university side of the city with student-priced nails and lashes. The hills matter more than the map suggests, and mobile beauticians often add a travel supplement for addresses a couple of miles out.
