What the repair involves
When you arrive we assess the damaged nail and the surrounding set to determine a compatible fix. We match length, shape, and the same product type where possible, carefully prepare the remaining nail, and attach a replacement that is blended and smoothed to align with the adjacent nails for a seamless look.
This service focuses on a single-nail correction rather than a full redo. If the technician finds the nail bed or surrounding enhancements compromised, they will discuss alternatives with you—such as removal or a full replacement—so you can choose the option that preserves overall appearance and nail health.
Matching your existing set
Maintaining uniformity means matching the original material and finish when feasible. Our team works with the same techniques clients commonly use—dip powder, gel, or acrylic—so the repaired nail blends in with the rest of the set and keeps the same profile, thickness, and shine as the surrounding nails.
This is a quick, targeted fix meant to bridge the gap between regular fills. The cost for a single nail replacement is $7. If the original application requires significant alteration, the technician will explain whether a larger service would better meet your expectations.
Aftercare and longevity expectations
After a replacement, basic care reduces the risk of immediate knocks or lifting: treat the nail as you would the rest of your manicure and avoid heavy impact while the bond sets. Many clients report long-lasting results when they maintain regular fills and follow routine nail care between appointments.
