BIAB is a builder gel system used to add strength and support to natural nails. It is ideal if you want a tidy, glossy finish and help with breakage, while keeping nails looking natural. What can I expect when I book BIAB nails? We start with a short consultation about your nail goals and day to day routine. Your nails are prepped and shaped carefully, then the product is applied and finished neatly. We will confirm aftercare and the best time to return for maintenance. How long do BIAB nails usually last? Most people find BIAB wears well for several weeks, depending on nail growth and how hard you are on your hands. We will recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps the finish looking fresh and helps avoid lifting or breaks. Are BIAB nails suitable for weak or bitten nails? They can be a great option if your nails are prone to splitting, peeling or biting, because the added structure helps protect the nail as it grows. We will be honest about what is achievable and how often you will need maintenance while your nails recover. How should I look after BIAB nails between appointments? Use cuticle oil daily, wear gloves for cleaning and avoid picking at the product. If you notice lifting or a crack, book in sooner rather than trying to fix it at home. We will remove or rebalance safely to help keep your natural nails in good condition.
