Can I remove nail extensions myself at home?

You can soak them off, and the reason people end up with thin, sore nails is that they pick or lever instead when the soak runs long. If you are doing it yourself, soak and wait. Pulling a set off takes layers of your own nail with it, and those layers take a few months to grow back.

How long does removal take?

Twenty to thirty minutes for gel or polygel on a full set, longer if the set is thick or has been on past its time. It is slower than putting them on, which surprises people who book it as a quick visit.

Does it have to be acetone?

For gel, polygel and dip, yes. Non-acetone remover will not break those down, and the usual outcome of trying is a long soak that softens nothing and ends in scraping. Acetone dries the skin, so a tech follows it with oil and cream.

Will my nails grow back after a bad removal?

Almost always. A nail plate takes roughly four to six months to grow out from the base, so damage from one rough removal grows off rather than staying. What it needs meanwhile is keeping short and oiled, and a break from another set on top.
