Frequently Asked Questions

What is a BIAB infill with French tip?
We rebalance your existing builder gel, restore the apex and refine shape. A precise French tip is added, then sealed with a glossy top coat for strength and shine.
Can I book if my BIAB is from elsewhere?
Yes, if your overlay is in good condition and compatible. If there is heavy lifting, breaks or unknown products, please book a removal and new set instead.
Will my nails be damaged or thinned?
No. We use gentle prep and minimal filing to protect the natural nail. Regular oil and timely infills also help maintain nail health between visits.
How long will the French tips last?
Most clients enjoy two to three weeks of wear, depending on lifestyle and aftercare. Book your next infill before you leave to keep results fresh.
Is removal included in this appointment?
Removal is not included. If you have existing gel polish or BIAB to take off, please add a removal service or choose a removal and reapplication appointment.
