Questions We Hear Often
We carefully select products that are as clean and non-toxic as possible while meeting our standards for safety, performance, and effectiveness.
No product is completely free of chemicals. Our approach is to choose products thoughtfully, avoid ingredients we believe are unnecessary or more concerning, and continually evaluate new products as formulations improve.
Whenever possible, we prioritize products that support the long-term health of your nails and skin without compromising performance.
That's perfectly fine.
Many first-time guests aren't sure which service is most appropriate. If you're uncertain, simply book the service that seems closest to your needs. If another treatment is better suited to your nails, we'll discuss the options together before beginning the service.
Every guest is different.
Natural nails grow slowly, so meaningful improvement takes time. Some guests notice healthier nails within a few visits, while others require several months as healthy nail grows in.
Consistency, appropriate maintenance, and home care all contribute to long-term improvement.
Not necessarily.
Many guests wear gel polish for years without any concerns. The condition of the natural nail depends on many factors, including nail health, application, removal, maintenance, and how long the product remains on the nail.
For some guests, gel polish is an excellent choice. For others, regular polish, an overlay, or a restorative treatment may be more appropriate.
No.
We perform detailed manual cuticle care using carefully selected professional instruments rather than an e-file for routine cuticle work.
Our focus is maintaining the health of the natural nail and surrounding skin through appropriate techniques and regular maintenance.
Yes, when it's the appropriate tool for the service.
Although HORTŪS does not offer acrylics, dip powder, hard gels, Gel-X, BIAB, or nail extensions, many new guests arrive wearing these products. When removal is necessary, an e-file may be used carefully to reduce bulk before completing the removal using the most appropriate technique for the natural nail.
For routine cuticle care and soak-off gel polish removal, we use manual techniques rather than an e-file.
Every tool has its place. Proper technique and knowing when to use each tool are what matter most.
Yes.
Although we don't offer these services, many new guests arrive wearing them.
Removal is based on the product currently on the nails and the condition of the natural nail. Whenever possible, we preserve the integrity of the natural nail while preparing it for continued healthy growth.
Yes.
Many guests visit HORTŪS after wearing acrylics, dip powder, hard gels, Gel-X, nail extensions, or gel manicures and would like to improve the condition of their natural nails.
Healthy nails grow gradually. Depending on the condition of the nail, improvement may take several appointments as healthy nail grows in. Consistent care and appropriate maintenance produce the best long-term
results.
In many cases, yes.
Thin, peeling, brittle, or weak nails can result from many factors, including genetics, age, dehydration, repeated product removal, over-filing, trauma, nutritional deficiencies, certain medical conditions, medications, hormonal changes, and everyday wear.
Some people naturally have thinner or more flexible nails, while others notice changes as they age. Although genetics and aging can't be changed, the overall condition of the natural nail can often be improved with appropriate treatments, consistent maintenance, and home care.
Every set of nails is different. The best treatment depends on the condition of your nails and what they need at that time.
No.
HORTŪS is dedicated to natural nail care. We do not offer acrylics, dip powder, hard gels, Gel-X, nail extensions, or traditional BIAB services designed. to create length or heavy structure.
Instead, we offer services that maintain, strengthen, and support the natural nail.
For guests looking for additional strength, our Signature Overlay and Gel Overlay use a vitamin-infused, soak-off builder gel to reinforce the natural nail while supporting healthy growth over time.
Technically, yes.
Our Signature Overlay uses a vitamin-infused, soak-off builder gel, commonly referred to as BIAB (Builder in a Bottle).
Our approach is different. Rather than using builder gel to create long nails or extensions, we use it to strengthen and support the natural nail. It's fully soak-off and designed for guests who would like additional strength while maintaining a natural appearance.
Our Gel Overlay combines this same strengthening overlay with non-toxic gel
polish in a selection of sheer and milky shades.
Questions About Our Services
Our Gel Overlay begins with our vitamin-infused Signature Overlay and is finished with non-toxic gel polish.
It provides additional strength and durability while remaining fully soak-off and is available in a selection of sheer and milky shades.
Our Signature Overlay uses a vitamin-infused, soak-off builder gel to provide additional strength and support for the natural nail.
Applied directly over the natural nail without adding length or extensions, it's an excellent option for guests looking to improve nail strength while maintaining a natural appearance.
Very Naked is our most detailed natural nail care service for hands and feet that need extra attention.
It goes beyond a traditional manicure or pedicure with extended cuticle care for dry, rough or overgrown cuticles and, for the feet, additional callus care to smooth areas of buildup and roughness.
Ideal when you need more thorough grooming, are returning to natural nails, or simply want beautifully cared-for hands and feet without polish.
Extra care where it’s needed. Clean, healthy, beautifully natural nails.
The Rescue is a gentle, hydrating recovery treatment for natural nails that need a break.
The multi-step treatment combines hydrating nail serums, a bonding treatment, repair base and clear protective seal to condition and support dry, brittle or stressed nails while healthier nail grows in.
It’s especially good between gel manicures or traditional polish, which can feel drying for some nails, or anytime you want to step back from color and give your natural nails a little extra care.
The clear seal is cured with LED light for light protection and a healthy, natural-looking shine, without color, extensions or added length.
Gentle, non-acetone removal is required.
Active Rescue is our more durable protective recovery treatment for natural nails that have been weakened or compromised, including nails transitioning away from hard gel, dip powder, extensions or Russian manicures.
A nail-bonding treatment, vitamin-enriched base and durable clear top coat work together to reinforce and protect the natural nail as healthier nail grows in. The clear coating is cured with LED light for longer wear and added protection against everyday splitting and breakage.
There’s no color, extension or added length, just a strong, clear, glossy finish designed to support the natural nail through the recovery process.
Gentle, non-acetone removal is required.
Both are part of our natural nail recovery system, but they serve different needs.
The Rescue
Our gentler, more hydrating option. Ideal between gel or traditional polish, for dry or stressed nails, or anytime your nails need a break with light protection and conditioning.
Active Rescue
Our more durable protective option. Designed for weakened, peeling or compromised natural nails, particularly when transitioning away from hard gel, dip, extensions or Russian manicures.
Both leave nails clear and naturally glossy, without extensions or added length, and require gentle, non-acetone removal.
Not every nail needs the same level of support. The goal is to give your natural nails what they need now while healthier nail grows in.
