Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get gel nails refilled in Birmingham?

Gel nails typically last 3–4 weeks before regrowth becomes noticeable. Most Birmingham clients schedule infills every 2–3 weeks for maintenance. This costs £12–£20 per visit, considerably less than a full set.

What's the difference between gel and acrylic nails in terms of cost?

Acrylic nails in Birmingham are slightly cheaper (£25–£40) than gel extensions (£28–£45). Both offer durability, but acrylic has a quicker application, whilst gel requires UV curing. Costs also depend on the salon and technician.

Do nail technicians in Birmingham charge extra for nail art?

Yes, nail art is usually charged separately at £5–£15 per nail depending on complexity. Simple designs cost less; intricate, multi-colour work costs more. Many salons offer set packages that include basic designs.

Are there price differences between Birmingham city centre and suburban salons?

City centre salons (near Birmingham City Centre) typically charge 10–20% more than suburban locations due to higher overheads and foot traffic. Suburban salons offer excellent quality at lower rates, making them worth the short journey.
