Ask to see the technician's portfolio of recent work on real clients. Confirm the salon follows local hygiene rules and uses sterilised or single-use tools. Check that gel products are cured with a proper lamp, not air-dried. A clear price list for each service prevents surprise charges at the end.
Nail design covers shaping, cuticle work, and the application of colour or art on fingernails and toenails. Common options include gel polish, acrylic or gel extensions, nail strengthening overlays, and detailed hand-painted art. Ask which specific service is included before booking so the price matches the work you want done.
The technician sanitises both hands, then trims and files to the agreed shape. Cuticle work follows with nippers or a soft remover. A dehydrator and primer go on, then the chosen product in thin layers. Each layer cures or sets fully before the next, finishing with a top coat and cuticle oil.
A gel manicure on natural nails lasts 14 to 21 days before visible lifting at the cuticle. Acrylic extensions last 3 to 4 weeks before a fill is needed. Dip powder holds 3 to 5 weeks with normal use. Growth rate, water exposure, and nail oil use all shorten these windows.
Price varies with the technician's experience, the salon's location, and the complexity of the design. Plain gel is the baseline, hand-painted art adds per nail, and 3D elements or rhinestones add more. Long extensions cost extra over short overlays. Always ask for a written quote covering the full work.
The technician shapes the nail, removes dead cuticle, buffs the surface, and applies base coat, colour, and top coat. For extensions, a tip or form is glued or fitted before layers are built up. Each gel layer cures under a UV or LED lamp for 30 to 60 seconds before the next coat.
Gel polish typically lasts 14 to 21 days without major chipping. Acrylic extensions need a fill every 2 to 3 weeks as the natural nail grows. Dip powder lasts around 21 to 28 days. Lifting, peeling, or yellowing within 1 week usually signals poor application or preparation.
Gel removes with 100 percent acetone soaked in foil for 10 to 15 minutes. Acrylic needs an electric file or careful soaking, never peeling or biting off. Dip powder lifts with acetone and a coarse file. Forceful removal strips the top nail layer and causes thinning for 4 to 6 months.
Remove old polish at home 24 hours before so the technician can start clean. Push back, do not cut, your cuticles for 3 days prior. Avoid oils, creams, or cuticle softener on appointment day because they block adhesion. File any sharp edges square so the technician can assess your natural nail length.
A full gel set on natural nails usually takes 45 to 75 minutes. Acrylic extensions with shaping need 90 to 120 minutes. Dip powder sits in the middle at about 60 to 90 minutes. Detailed nail art, like hand-painted patterns or small stones, adds 15 to 45 minutes per hand depending on complexity.
