"Xia genuinely outdid herself. I showed her a vague inspo and she turned it into the most beautiful 3D floral set I've ever had. Everyone asks where I get my nails done."
"The retention on her sets is unreal. I've gone almost 4 weeks with no lifting. She's the only nail artist I'll go to in Calgary."
"I got the airbrush aura set and I'm obsessed. The colour blend was perfect and she was so detail-oriented throughout the whole appointment."

GELX is a builder gel system that creates lightweight, flexible extensions with a natural finish. It's gentler on your natural nails than acrylic while still giving you the length and durability you want.
