Precision sculpting for every nail

Every full set begins with a detailed consultation to determine the perfect combination of form, tip or sculpting technique. Vera calibrates apex height, sidewall structure and free edge taper so your extensions look natural yet elevated.

  • Custom form fitting or tip selection to match nail beds and growth pattern.
  • Balanced apex and stress points for chip-resistant everyday wear.
  • Tailored thickness for durability without bulk.
  • Option for structured overlays, milky chrome, velvet matte or minimal nail art.

Length & shape options

Choose from short almond for everyday elegance, medium coffin for statement looks, or elongated square for runway-inspired styling. Shape refinements are included during each maintenance visit to keep proportions consistent.

Service duration Expect 150–180 minutes for a new set, including consultation, sculpting and finish. Refills average 120 minutes.
Investment From $120 for a fresh sculpted set. Refills start at $100 depending on length and artwork.
Wear time Maintain every 3 weeks to rebalance structure and keep cuticles pristine.

Step-by-step experience

1. Nail prep & blueprinting

We begin with a Russian dry manicure to lift the cuticle and prep the nail plate. Vera maps the extension length, apex and architecture before any gel is applied.

2. Sculpting & structure

Using premium builder gels, each extension is sculpted or overlaid on tips with careful attention to symmetry, ensuring the structure complements natural anatomy.

3. Refinement & finish

The set is refined with e-file detailing, then finished with your choice of color, chrome, velvet matte or minimalist art accents. Aftercare and refill scheduling wrap the visit.

How to protect your extensions

  • Use cuticle oil daily to maintain flexibility at the growth line.
  • Wear gloves for cleaning, gym sessions involving weights and any tasks with solvents.
  • Never clip or pull extensions; file gently only if Vera has advised.
  • Book timely refills to rebalance the structure and prevent lifting.
