Frequently Asked Questions

What are BIAB extensions?
BIAB, or Builder In A Bottle, is a soak-off builder gel used to extend and reinforce nails using tips or forms. It gives lightweight, durable length with a smooth, natural look.
How long do BIAB extensions last?
Most clients book infills every 2 to 3 weeks. Wear time varies with growth, lifestyle, and aftercare routines, such as oiling and avoiding harsh chemicals.
Are BIAB extensions safe for natural nails?
Yes, when correctly applied and removed by a professional. BIAB can shield the nail plate and reduce breakage compared to heavier systems.
Can I choose my length and shape?
Yes. We tailor length, shape, and structure to suit your hands and daily activities. Your technician will advise on practical options.
Is removal included with this appointment?
Removal is not included unless you add it when booking. Please book BIAB removal if you have product on, so we can allow enough time.
