Service, 75 minutes
Builder gel.
A thicker, structured gel laid over your own nail. It turns soft, bendy nails into ones you can open a soda can with. Please do not, though.
Who it is for
Nails that fold like paper.
You grow them for a month, one snaps on a car door, and you cut the rest to match. Again. Builder gel stops that loop. We build a thin arch over the nail so the stress spreads out instead of landing on the weakest corner.
- Bendy or peeling natural nails
- People who type, garden or lift all day
- Anyone coming off acrylic who wants their own nails back
Fills, not new sets
Every three to four weeks.
You do not take builder off each time. We file the old colour down, fill the new growth at the cuticle, rebalance the arch and put fresh colour on top. A fill is $55.
- Week 0First overlay$68
- Week 3 or 4Fill and new colour$55
- Week 7 or 8Fill again$55

Growing out your own length
Patience. Plus a file.
Builder does not add length. It protects the length you grow. Each fill we let the free edge grow a little past the last one, shape it and lock it in. Most people get to a real medium length on their own nails by the third fill.
Want the length today instead? Look at Gel-X and acrylic. Just want shine? A gel manicure is $20 less.
