Longevity depends on natural nail growth, lifestyle, and aftercare. With proper fills and gentle handling, shaped gel or acrylic extensions usually look fresh for two to three weeks before a fill is recommended; some clients enjoy four weeks depending on wear.

Yes—if natural nails have sufficient length and health we can reshape them, or we can apply gels or acrylic extensions to achieve the desired form. Your technician will assess nail strength and recommend extensions, tips, or a shorter variation if needed.

Yes. Stiletto and lipstick styles require longer extensions for their dramatic tips, while almond and flare flatter shorter to medium lengths and broader nail beds. We’ll recommend shapes that complement finger proportions and lifestyle, ensuring comfort and durability.

When performed by trained technicians, shaping and applying extensions is safe. Proper prep, bonding, and gentle filing protect nail plates. Regular fills, breaks between sets if recommended, and nourishment treatments help maintain nail health and minimize damage over time.

Sculpting time varies: reshaping existing extensions may take 30–45 minutes, while a full set with precise sculpting, tips, or complex angles can take 60–90 minutes. Allow extra time for polish, art, or customized length consultations.

Protect nails by wearing gloves for chores, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using cuticle oil daily. Be gentle with tips, schedule regular fills every 2–3 weeks, and avoid picking or using nails as tools to preserve shape and prevent chipping.
