Gel / Acrylic Extension
Extend and sculpt with gel or acrylic for your desired shape.
- Duration90 min
Gel / Acrylic Extension is a technique that builds long, strong nails sculpted directly on a form, without ready-made tips. Using gel or acrylic powder, your technician sculpts and shapes the nail to the length, curve and form you want, for a result that is sturdy, durable and natural-looking.
At 1996 Nail Studio, the process starts with cleaning and shaping your natural nails and fitting a form. Your technician builds the gel or acrylic to create thickness and shape, cures it (for gel) or lets it set (for acrylic), then files and refines until the surface is smooth and beautiful. The final step is colour, hand-painted art or crystals to match your style. It is the ideal choice for anyone wanting truly durable length that stands up to everyday life.
- Long, strong nails that are durable and hard-wearing
- Flexible sculpting to your favourite length and shape
- A perfect base for colour, art and crystals
With proper care, gel/acrylic extensions can hold their shape for weeks. We recommend periodic infills as your natural nails grow, plus regular cuticle moisturising. Visit 1996 Nail Studio at 3 Duong Tu Quan, Ngu Hanh Son, Da Nang, for long, durable nails sculpted exactly to the shape you love.
Frequently asked questions
Does getting nail extensions hurt?
No, not when done correctly. You may only feel a light sensation when the surface is gently buffed so the material adheres well.
How often should I get a fill?
After 2–3 weeks your natural nail grows out and leaves a gap — time for a fill to keep the shape neat and strong. Replace the set once there is a lot of regrowth.
Do extensions damage natural nails?
No, not when applied and removed properly at the salon. Damage usually comes from peeling them off at home — always have them removed by a technician.
