Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Nail Design.

We recommend booking at least 3-7 days in advance for custom Nail Design, especially for complex looks or weekend appointments. For bridal or event designs, reserve earlier to secure your preferred artist and allow time for consultation and planning.

Pricing varies by complexity, number of nails, materials, and time required. After discussing your ideas, our artists provide a personalized quote. Simple accents start lower; intricate hand-painted designs or 3D embellishments carry higher fees.

Absolutely—bring photos, sketches, or inspiration. References help our artists understand your vision, colors, and level of detail you want. If possible, send images ahead of time so the artist can prepare materials and estimate time and cost.

Appointments range from 45 minutes for simple accents to 90+ minutes for intricate full-set designs. Time varies with nail prep, number of nails, and added embellishments. Your artist will provide an estimated duration during consultation.

Arrive with clean nails and remover-free polish if possible. Avoid heavy lotions on hands and bring reference images. If you have allergies or sensitivities, inform us ahead of time. Plan for aftercare time to let topcoats cure properly.

Protect designs by wearing gloves for chores, applying cuticle oil regularly, and avoiding prolonged water exposure. Use gentle, non-acetone removers when needed. Schedule touch-ups if chips occur; professional removal prevents damage and preserves nail health.
