  • We currently offer Builder Gel (BIAB on natural nails) and soft Gel extensions (with tips)

  • BIAB stands for Builder in a Bottle trademarked by the brand The Gel Bottle. It’s a type of builder gel that comes in a bottle with a brush, similar to normal gel polish, but it’s stronger and has to be applied a very specific way. BIAB is over natural nails only.

  • Yes! BIAB and builder gel is the exact same product. we often refer to both but mainly will say Builder Gel as the word BIAB is trademarked.

  • Gel x is short for Gel Extensions. Gel x is a professional nail extension system created by Apres Nail. It uses full-cover soft gel tips that are applied over the natural nail with gel, then cured under a lamp. Gel x is an extension / tips

  • Your first appointment can be booked online via the link bellow! After your first appointment, you’re always welcome to book in salon at your appointment.

  • You definitely can! Both BIAB and gel x systems work hand in hand together. If you're wanting to grow your natural nails but want to skip the awkward short faze, you can start of getting gel x and then let your natural nails grow out underneath! Then once you are happy with the length of your natural nails, we can easily make the switch over to BIAB

  • We have made the switch over to using all gel products! We found roughly 95% of our clients were having much better retention using gel products as soft gel is has more 'movement' and 'flexibility'

  • yes and no. We will only offer a refill over another Techs/ salon work if they are offer a high quality service and if we use the same products.

    We usually prefer to soak off other techs work so we can asses the health of the nail underneath the product.

    We will always soak off acrylic, sns or any other product that is not gel. Please ensure to book a removal if you have a non gel product already on.

  • We accept cash, eftpost or can be charged to your card saved on file.

  • The products we use can last anywhere from 3-5 weeks! We recommend no longer than 4 weeks as the added pressure of the regrowth can cause lifting.

    This is subject to many factors such as nail health, lifestyle, aftercare, medication and more. For more complex cases, please message us!
