Nail extensions give you long, even, well-shaped nails in a single session — even if your natural nails are short or weak. But are they bad for your nails? In this guide, 1996 Nail Studio explains the truth, the standard process, and how to keep extensions beautiful.
Extensions make hands look slim and elegant.
Popular extension methods
There are three common options: gel extensions (light, natural), acrylic (strong, durable), and tip/form building for various shapes.
Are extensions harmful?
Not if done correctly and removed properly. Damage usually comes from over-filing, peeling nails off at home, low-quality materials, or never letting nails rest.
How to care for extensions
Wear gloves for chores, apply cuticle oil daily, avoid using nails as tools, get a fill every 2–3 weeks, and always visit the salon to remove them. Read more: how to keep gel nails lasting.
