Before you book.
Will BIAB damage my natural nails?
No. Builder In A Bottle is a strengthening overlay, and it is soaked off gently rather than filed away. Every set includes cuticle and nail care. If your nails need a break from product, we will tell you.
I never know what to choose. Will I be rushed?
The opposite. Only one client is booked at a time, and the first part of the session is a calm conversation about your hands and your week. You do not need to arrive with an answer.
What if I do not like the result?
Say so before you leave. Anything that is not sitting right gets adjusted there and then, and small fixes in the first few days are no trouble.
Is it worth the price?
A BIAB set lasts three to four weeks because it is a builder gel matched to how you use your hands. Most clients spend less over a year than they did on repairs, redos and products that did not suit them.
