Services
Structured Gel Manicures
Our structured gel manicures use customized hard or soft gel applications to strengthen natural nails while maintaining a natural appearance. The process includes cuticle care, precise shaping, and a durable gel overlay that typically lasts 3-4 weeks. Clients receive personalized aftercare instructions to maximize wear time and maintain nail health between appointments.
Gel Nail Extensions
Create elegant length with hard gel extensions applied over tips or sculpted forms. This service builds balanced, lightweight structures in classic shapes like almond, oval, or square. The technique emphasizes natural profiles while providing durability, with maintenance recommended every 3-4 weeks to preserve optimal results.
Signature Manicure
A luxury treatment for natural nails featuring cuticle care, precise shaping, and a choice of regular polish or buff shine. Includes exfoliation, hydrating treatments, and hand massage, ideal for clients seeking polished, low-maintenance nails without enhancements.
Pedicures
Comprehensive pedicures combine relaxation with meticulous care, including callus reduction, exfoliation, and moisturizing treatments. Clients may choose gel polish for extended wear or a natural buff finish. The service emphasizes foot health, nail maintenance, and immediate comfort for year-round foot care.
Nail Removal
Safe e-file removal of structured gel, hard gel extensions, or acrylics without soaking. The process preserves natural nail integrity through controlled reduction techniques, followed by conditioning treatments to prepare nails for future services or natural regrowth.

Questions
What makes structured gel different from regular gel polish?
Structured gel includes a builder layer for strength and durability, unlike standard gel polish which is a thin color coating. This provides enhanced chip resistance and supports natural nail growth.
How long do gel extensions last?
With proper maintenance every 3-4 weeks, gel extensions maintain their shape and durability. At-home care includes daily cuticle oil application and avoiding excessive picking or prying.
Can you remove acrylic nails safely?
Yes, we use a trained e-file technique to remove acrylics without soaking, preserving natural nail integrity while preparing them for structured gel or natural maintenance.
Do you offer nail art?
Simple nail art is available with pre-approval at booking. We ensure proper time allocation and match clients with artists specializing in their desired designs.
What shapes are available for gel extensions?
We offer almond, oval, and square shapes in short-to-medium lengths. Avoiding extreme shapes maintains structural integrity and natural wear patterns.
How should I prepare for a pedicure?
Arrive with clean feet for gel polish services. All pedicures include callus care, exfoliation, and moisturizing treatments with options for polish or natural buff finish.

I highly recommend Heathers Nails. They are professional, efficient and always on time. The structured gel manicure lasts forever and my nails always look great. Each manicure takes an hour so you can plan your day accordingly. I appreciate the level of professionalism here. A great business in Sandpoint!

Horribly overpriced, minimal effort, no nail cleaning, surface only, limited soak time , even with bringing own polish the price was 55.00. Resembled a home pedicure, staff was cordial owner more a matter of fact. They indicated their license limits the level of service. Wish I would have been told that when I made the appointment. Perhaps people who have extra $$$$ dont have issue with the overpriced/limited services Most of the people I know do.

I was very impressed. The salon is scrupulously clean and the atmosphere is relaxed. Harlee is not only charming but she is also talented and did an excellent job.

I am not a fan of this place at all. The gel nails completely ruined my finger nails. You end up with little bumps of gel on your nails that looks ridiculous. I tried 2 times to make sure and it was horrible looking both times. 2 different techs. The gel they put on your nails will ruin your nails it makes them super thin and weak The owner is rude and very standoffish. The only thing is the young lady doing my nails the second time was very nice.

I called ahead of time to tell them I was going to be slightly late and the owner was disgustingly rude to me. With the way they did my nails last time (mediocre) they probably shouldnt be talking to customers like that.
