More information

What's Included

A precise, strength-focused manicure designed for neat, long-wearing results.

  • Personal consultation and nail health check.
  • Detailed prep: shape, cuticle care, cleanse, and dehydrate.
  • BIAB builder gel overlay with apex for support.
  • Gel colour of your choice, applied evenly.
  • Glossy top coat, file refinement, and full cure.
  • Hydrating cuticle oil and personalised aftercare advice.

Who It's For

Ideal for weak, peeling, or flexible nails that need structure. Great if you want short to medium length with added strength and a refined gel finish. If you want significant length, extensions may suit you better.

Your appointment lasts around 70 minutes. Please arrive with bare nails or book a removal add-on if you have existing product. Arrive five minutes early to settle and choose your colour.

Aftercare & Maintenance

  • Apply cuticle oil daily to maintain flexibility.
  • Wear gloves for cleaning and gardening.
  • Avoid using nails as tools to prevent lifts.
  • Keep away from very hot water and heat for two hours after.
  • Book infills every two to three weeks to maintain structure.
  • Return for professional removal. Do not pick or peel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is BIAB and how does it help?
BIAB is a builder gel applied as a structured overlay. It reinforces the natural nail, adds gentle strength, and helps prevent splitting and peeling. The result is smoother growth and longer-lasting colour.
Will BIAB damage my natural nails?
No, not when applied and removed professionally. We prep with care, avoid aggressive filing, and protect the nail plate. Please avoid picking and book removal with us to keep nails healthy.
How long will my BIAB set last?
Most clients enjoy two to four weeks of wear, depending on lifestyle and length. For best results, schedule infills at around three weeks. This maintains structure and prevents lifting.
Is removal included in this service?
Removal is not included in this appointment. Please add a removal service if you have gel, BIAB, or acrylic on your nails. This allows enough time for a safe soak-off.
Can I add nail art to BIAB?
Yes. Simple accents to detailed designs are available as add-ons. Let us know when booking so we can allow extra time and quote accordingly.
