Here’s Your Official Guide to Every Type of Nail Services
es Nail Studio provides a wide range of nail services using high quality products. We like to have an information page about what types of nail service we offer. With a very detail explanation, you will find which service is best suitable for you and your lifestyle. We are always available for consultation if you have any questions.
REGULAR MANICURES
​
You can opt for regular polish or no polish with a regular manicure. Regular polish takes a very long time to dry and chips easily if clients work predominantly with their hands. Wear time will depend on different lifestyles.
-
For clients who want to maintain the integrity of their nails
-
For clients who like to change colors often because nail polish is easily removed with acetone
-
For clients who needs to take a break from nail enhancements
-
Not recommended for designs on regular polish. Please opt for Gel Manicures or nail enhancements (dip/acrylic) if you would like designs
GEL MANICURE
​
(Also known as Shellac, Gel, Soft Gel)
Gel polish is used in this manicure. Gel polish is just a polish that has better staying power than regular polish and needs to be cured by using an LED lamp. Gel polish is dried instantly so there is no chance of it messing up after completing the service. Gel polish can last anywhere from 7-21 days depending on your lifestyle.
-
For clients who do not want any length or artificial enhancements added to their nails but want the color to last on their real nails
-
Gel polish dries instantly after your service so you will not mess up the polish after leaving
-
Gel is removed by soaking off with acetone. We individually wrap each finger with foil and cotton to ensure the least exposure of acetone to maintain the integrity of your nails
-
You can do free hand art on gel nails
-
CANNOT do encapsulation or ombre on gel nails
ACRYLIC SETS
​
(Also known as Full Set, Refill, Color Powder, , Solar Powder, Overlay)
Acrylic is powder. Applied with liquid monomer (the purple liquid) and a brush with a bead of powder at the tip. Cuticle trim + hand massage can be added for additional charge.
-
For clients seeking to wear long nails or do a lot of designs
-
Acrylic powder is the most durable form of nail enhancement that we currently offer
-
Acrylic needs to be properly soaked off with acetone to maintain the integrity of natural nails
-
Removal time is longer because of the durability of acrylic powder.
-
Acrylic nails can be refilled depending on the durability/integrity of the current set
DIP POWDER SETS
​
(Also known as SNS, NextGen)
Dip powder granules are finer than acrylic powder. Dip powder is applied by a special resin. The client then dips their finger into the powder in order to coat the nail with the enhancement. Dip powder enhancement service comes standard with NO cuticle trim and NO added tips for length. Cuticle trim and hand massage can be added for an additional charge.
-
For clients who want to grow out their nails while still having a protecting layer over it
-
Layers of thin powder are applied to cover the nails making the nail surface harder and less prone to breakage
-
Not recommended for clients who like to wear their nails longer due to the thin coverage of the powder
-
Ideal for clients who like their natural nails but want a stronger barrier to help with their real nails splitting/breaking.
-
Needs to be soaked off with acetone
-
Dip CANNOT be refilled. We have to completely remove the set and re-do it again
GEL-X
​
Gel-X is an alternative method to acrylic and dip. This service includes cuticle care. It is a full cover tip system (full cover meaning the nail tip covers the base area of your cuticle and extends out to either your free edge or past your free edge) and the tips come pre-shaped and filled with pre-set length. This service has no odor, minimal dust+filing, and needs LED lamp to cure. PRICES VARY DEPENDING ON THE LENGTH & DESIGN YOU CHOOSE. Shape is already included.

Short/Medium Length: $70 without Removal/$80 with Removal
-
Long Length: $80 without Removal/$90 with Removal
-
Extra Long Length: $90 without Removal/$100 with Removal

PEDICURES
​
We ALWAYS use new pedicure tub liners and disposable files, pumice, and buffers after every client. Metal tools like cuticle nippers, pushers, and foot files are soaked in Barbicide for their recommended period of time and then sterilized by our dry heat autoclave machine.
Our pedicures come in a variety of options ranging from different scrubs to different massages.From a basic pedicure that’s quick, low maintenance and gentle or if you prefer more massage time and need extra care with your pedicure like callus treatment and exfoliation, we recommend starting at the Signature Spa Pedicure and going up from there depending on preference.
BIAB GEL
Builder Gel in a Bottle
What is Builder Gel?
Builder gel is used to help add thickness and strength to either nail tips to create extensions or directly on the natural nail. The GelBottle builder gel is an all-in-one primer and base, so it could be used as a base coat before adding more gel polish on top for an extra layer of strength on the nails.
-
For clients who want to grow out their nails while still having a protecting layer over it.
-
Extension tips can be added to make nails longer
-
Ideal for clients who like their natural nails but want a stronger barrier to help with their real nails splitting/breaking.
-
For clients who are allergic to acrylic or dip powder.
-
Needs to be soaked off with acetone
-
BIAB Gel can be refilled.
LENGTH & SHAPE
​
For ‘regular shaping’ at NO additional cost, the shapes include square, rounded square, and rounded shape.
For ‘special shaping’ at an additional cost, the shapes include almond, coffin, ballerina, stiletto, tapered/narrow square, narrow oval. Please be aware that these different shapes require certain lengths in order to be able to execute the shaping correctly. Failure to allocate enough length for certain shapes might cause over-filing on the sides of the natural nail bed which potentially could cause permanent damage to the nail beds, bleeding, and soreness.
For length, our prices start at $5 and can go up to $70 additional depending on how long the nails are. Length charges are relative due to the contrasting uniqueness of an individual’s nail bed and does not constitute a fixed price depending on how long the nail is from the free edge. It has to do so more for how much product is used and the time it takes to mold the nail enhancement into the correct shape with that length.
*Refills on acrylic might still be subjected to a length charge even if you started the appointment with that original length. This is due to the time that the technician spends on correcting the shape, adding thickness to the apex & tips to prevent breakage, and correcting structure if the nails are starting to curve as they grow longer.
