# Soak Offs

Our soak offs are a calm, careful way to remove previous nail product without scraping or rushing. Expect a tidy finish, honest advice on nail condition, and simple aftercare so your natural nails feel comfortable and look neat.

Soak offs at Faking It are all about clean removal with nail health in mind. We start with a quick check of your nails, then remove the product gently and methodically, keeping things comfortable and controlled. You will leave with natural nails that feel smooth and tidy, plus straightforward guidance on what to do next, from hydration to sensible maintenance. Ideal if you want a fresh start, a break from product, or you are getting ready for your next nail appointment, with easy online booking to fit a busy diary.

## Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect at a soak off appointment?

We will assess your nails first, then remove the existing product carefully and tidy the natural nail underneath. The appointment is unrushed, with a clean finish and clear advice on keeping nails in good condition.

Are soak offs safe for natural nails?

When done professionally, soak offs are a gentle way to remove product while protecting the natural nail. We focus on careful technique and condition first care, and we will talk you through what we see and what your nails need next.

How should I prepare for a soak off?

Arrive with your nails as they are, and avoid picking or peeling beforehand, as that can weaken the natural nail. If you have any breaks, soreness, or lifting, let us know at the start so we can keep the removal comfortable.

What should I do after a soak off?

Treat your nails like skin, keep them hydrated and be gentle for the rest of the day. We will recommend simple aftercare, including moisturising and avoiding using nails as tools, to help them stay smooth and strong.

Can I book a soak off on its own or before another nail appointment?

Yes, soak offs can be booked as a standalone visit, or planned as part of your wider nail maintenance. If you are booking it alongside another appointment, it is best to allow enough time so removal is not rushed.
