Sculpted or tips — what's the difference?

Sculpting builds the whole nail on a removable form, so there's no plastic under the product and it can be tailored exactly to your nail bed. Tips are faster and work well on short or bitten nails.

How long do extensions last?

Three to four weeks before a refill. Removal and a fresh set is worth doing every few cycles.

What's the longest length you'll do?

Extra long is on the menu and it's priced accordingly. Bring reference photos so the shape matches what's in your head.

Nail extensions in Nairobi

From KES 5,300 · mobile appointment at your home, hotel or Airbnb

"Extensions" covers every way of giving you length you didn't grow: sculpting free-hand on a form, building over a plastic tip, in acrylic, builder gel or polygel. This page is the overview — if you already know which product you want, the individual pages go deeper.

The honest version of the advice is that the product matters less than the person applying it. A well-structured sculpted set in any of the three will last three to four weeks; a badly structured one lifts by day five regardless of what's in the pot. What you're actually choosing between is length, shape and how much art you want on top.

Every set is installed at your place — Kilimani, Lavington, Westlands, Karen, Kileleshwa or anywhere else in Nairobi — with the full kit brought to you and the space left clean afterwards.
