Gel, soft-gel or acrylic: what is the difference
Three products, three removal methods, and why we only use two of them.
Around 12th Main: planning your Indiranagar visit
Metro, parking, a coffee before and a walk after: a short local guide for clients coming from across Bengaluru.
Our studio is on the second floor of a building on 12th Main, HAL 2nd Stage, and many clients come from Whitefield, Koramangala or Jayanagar. A little planning makes the trip easier.
The simplest way in is the metro. Indiranagar station on the Purple Line is about a 12-minute walk, or a short auto ride, from our door. From the station, head along 100 Feet Road and turn into 12th Main. Driving is harder in the evening. Street parking on 12th Main is limited after 5 pm, and the side roads off it are residential, so please do not block gates. Weekday mornings are the easiest time to find a spot.
Arrive five minutes early, especially for extensions, so your technician can start on time and your slot is not cut short. If you arrive with wet hands from the rain, which is common in Bengaluru between June and October, we will give you a towel and a few minutes to dry, because gel does not bond well to damp nails.
Indiranagar has plenty to do before or after. The stretch of 12th Main and the lanes off 100 Feet Road are full of cafés, small bakeries and clothing stores, and the area is pleasant to walk in the late afternoon. Just avoid anything that keeps your hands in water, such as washing up or a swim, for a few hours after a fresh set. And if you have shopping bags, put them down before you open your purse; most smudges on fresh gel happen in the first ten minutes.
