What to look for

  • BIAB suits people who want strength without extensions and are happy to come back for infills.
  • Acrylics give length but need more upkeep and careful removal.
  • Detailed art is charged per nail or per set — confirm before the file comes out.
  • For a group, book well ahead and check how many technicians work at once.
