Sculpted nails in Nairobi
From KES 3,550 · mobile appointment at your home, hotel or Airbnb
Sculpting is the technique where the whole nail is built on a paper or dual form rather than glued onto a plastic tip. Nothing sits under the product, the apex can be placed exactly where your finger needs it, and the sidewalls follow your actual nail bed instead of a mass-produced curve.
You notice the difference in two places: how it looks side-on, and how long it lasts. A sculpted set with a properly placed apex takes the impact of daily use in the strongest part of the nail, which is why they tend to make it to the refill without a single break.
It's slower work than tips and it's priced a little higher for that reason. If you've had sets pop off before, or you want extra long without it looking like a costume, this is the one to book.






What to expect
- Built on forms — no plastic tips under the product
- Apex and sidewalls shaped to your own nail bed
- Short/medium, long or extra long
- Refills priced below a full set at 3-4 weeks
- Optional French, cat eye, ombré or per-nail creative art
Questions
- Why does sculpting cost more than tips?
- It takes longer and it's more technical — each nail is built and balanced individually. The trade-off is fit and durability.
- Can sculpted nails be done short?
- Absolutely. Short sculpted sets are common with clients who type all day and still want structure and a clean shape.
- Do you sculpt over bitten nails?
- Yes — forms let us build past a short free edge. Mention it when you book so enough time is allowed.
