What moves the price
- Complexity of the design — hand-painted art, gems or raised details on each nail add time beyond a plain colour.
- Experience level of the technician — a technician known for neat, slim acrylic sets is often booked up and charges more.
- Location of the nail salon — salons in busy town centres tend to charge more than those on the outskirts.
- Size of the job — a full new set takes far longer than an infill, and is priced well above it.
- Materials used — coloured or glitter acrylic powders and added charms cost more than clear or pink powder.
- Condition of your natural nails — broken or lifting nails need repairs or a soak-off before the new set goes on.

How to pay less
- Keeping up infills on time costs less than letting the acrylic nails grow out and paying for a soak-off and a new set.
- A fill with a plain colour costs less than a fresh full set with nail art, so it helps to say which you want.
- Fixing a single broken acrylic nail as a repair costs less than a whole new set, so you can ask for just the repair.
- An acrylic overlay on your natural nails costs less than added length, so it helps to ask whether an overlay would do.
- Saving nail art for a few accent nails, rather than every nail, keeps the price of the acrylic set down.
Before you book

- Access to clean water for nail preparation and sanitation.
- Any specific design ideas or inspirations you want for your nails.
- Mention any allergies or sensitivities to acrylic products or nail glue before the visit.
