What nail services does Institut V offer?
Nail services are handled by Andrea, in our salon at 6532 Beaubien East, in Montreal. She takes care of:
- manicure: shaping, cuticle work, hydration and finishing;
- UV gel polish: applied in several thin layers cured under the lamp, more resistant than regular polish;
- pedicure: without polish, with long-wear gel polish, or in the premium version;
- soak off: the clean removal of gel polish, without pulling or damaging the nail plate;
- nail art: from a discreet accent to a more elaborate design.
Every appointment starts with a short conversation about what you want and the condition of your nails. If you are hesitating between two options, Andrea advises you based on your nail shape and your daily routine.

The price depends on the service chosen (regular polish or UV gel, shape, length, pedicure, nail art). To avoid quoting you an approximate figure, we confirm the exact price at booking: call us at (438) 900-0919 or tell us what you would like when booking online.
How does a nail appointment work?
- Welcome and choice of service. We confirm the service, the price and the duration with you before starting.
- Preparation. Shaping, cuticle work and degreasing of the nail plate. This is the step that makes the set last.
- Application. For UV gel polish, the primer prepares the surface, then the gel is applied in thin layers, each cured under the lamp.
- Finishing. Sealing, cleaning off residue and hydrating the skin around the nail.
- Care advice. We explain how to keep your set looking good for as long as possible.
Equipment is disinfected and sterilized between each client, and single-use items are replaced at every appointment.
How should you prepare for your appointment?
- Mention any existing set when booking: a soak off will be needed, and time must be allowed for it in the appointment.
- Do not try to cut or file your nails just before: Andrea takes care of that during the appointment.
- Moisturize your hands and feet in the days before. Supple skin makes the work more comfortable.
- Bring your inspiration (photos, colours, designs) to save time and get the result you have in mind.
How can you make your set last longer?
- Moisturize your cuticles with an oil or a cream, every day or every other day.
- Avoid very hot water in the hours following the application: baths, dishes and sauna soften the resin.
- Wear gloves for cleaning and household products, which dull the finish.
- Do not use your nails as tools to open a box or peel off a label.
- Never peel off a gel polish yourself: forced removal takes layers off the nail plate. The soak off at the salon takes a few minutes and leaves the nail intact.
- Book again at the first sign of lifting or as soon as regrowth shows: the touch-up will be faster and less demanding than a full new set.

Frequently asked questions
Is an appointment required for nails at Institut V?
Yes, nail services are by appointment with Andrea: online at institutvesthetique.ca/en/book-online or by phone at (438) 900-0919. An appointment lets us allow the time needed for the preparation, the soak off if required, and the application.
How much does a pedicure cost?
It depends on the option chosen (without polish, long-wear gel polish, or the premium version). We confirm it at your free consultation or when booking, based on the service and the time needed. Call us at (438) 900-0919 to talk it through.
Can you remove gel polish applied at another salon?
Yes. The soak off cleanly removes gel polish, no matter where it was applied, without damaging the nail plate. Mention it when booking so that we allow the necessary time. If the nail is weakened, we tell you before starting.
How long does UV gel polish last?
Wear depends on the preparation of the nail, the application and your routine (water, household products, habits). In practice, book again as soon as regrowth shows or an edge starts to lift: that is the right time for a touch-up. Careful preparation and our care advice are there to make the set last.
Do you do nail art?
Yes, from the most understated to the most elaborate. The price depends on the design complexity: show us your inspiration and we confirm the price before starting.
