What to Expect During Your Acrylic Extension Service
- Nail consultation — We begin by discussing your desired length, shape, and design preferences. Whether you want square, round, almond, stiletto, or coffin shapes, we'll create the perfect look for you. We also discuss colour options and nail art possibilities.
- Nail preparation — Your natural nails are gently cleaned, buffed, and primed to ensure proper adhesion. This step is crucial for long-lasting, secure extensions that won't lift or damage your natural nails.
- Tip application or form placement — Depending on your preference, we either apply nail tips or place forms under your natural nails. This creates the foundation for your custom extensions.
- Acrylic sculpting — We apply the acrylic product and expertly sculpt and shape each nail. Our technicians use precise techniques to create smooth, even, and beautifully shaped extensions that look completely natural.
- Refining and buffing — Once the acrylic has cured, we refine the shape and buff the surface to a smooth, even finish. This ensures your nails look flawless and feel comfortable.
- Polish or design application — The final step is applying your choice of colour, Shellac, or custom nail art. We have an extensive range of colours and designs to match your style and occasion.
