Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Nail Designs.

Most Nail Designs appointments range from 45 minutes for simple accents to 90+ minutes for elaborate hand-painted sets. We include a brief consultation to finalize colors and motifs. Please book accordingly for detailed or multi-layered artwork.

When applied and removed professionally, Nail Designs shouldn't damage healthy nails. We use protective base coats, gentle adhesives, and high-quality products. Avoid DIY removal and schedule professional take-offs to prevent lifting or thinning. We also offer strengthening treatments if needed.

Durability depends on design type and nail service - gel or acrylic bases last longest. Typically, hand-painted designs on gel last two to three weeks with proper care; acrylic enhancements can hold designs three to four weeks. We recommend touch-ups for prolonged wear.

Absolutely - we welcome images, colors, and mood boards. Bring clear photos or save them on your phone. Our artists will adapt references to nail shape and scale, suggest color matches, and advise on feasibility to ensure the final design looks polished and wearable.

Pricing varies by complexity, materials, and time. Simple accent nails start at a modest rate, while full-hand intricate designs, hand-painting, or heavy embellishments cost more. We provide transparent estimates during consultation and offer package deals for events.

Arrive with clean, polish-free nails and no lotions on hands. Bring inspiration images and inform us of allergies or events. Allow extra time for detailed work. Avoid trimming natural nails if getting extensions. We'll brief you on aftercare for longevity.
