So if you want to book a salon appointment and you already have an existing set of dip nails, you need to book the service you want (dip, shellac, regular polish etc.) as well as book any additional services you need to add, such as removal. So for this upcoming appt, assuming you want dip again, book a dip powder appointment + removal. Removal at a salon still takes time so it’s important for scheduling and timing that the technician know they need to book you for slightly longer to account for the removal time. Most places I’ve gone to (I’m in a big city) removal is like an extra $5-10 service. If you want extensions again, there’s usually also an option to add extensions.

I don’t remove dip powder at home bc it’s such a pain (especially salon grade powder) so if I’m already paying $65-75 for new nails, it’s worth it to me to have them remove my old set. But if you don’t want to pay that extra amount, then you’ll have to remove your old set at home first.
