Nail Extension Pricing in FiDi
Pricing depends on length, shape, structure, and design work. Each extension is sculpted on a form and refined to create the requested length and final shape.
French, chrome, cat eye, and custom nail design add-ons can affect the appointment time and final price.
Refills and Maintenance
Many extension sets can be maintained for about 4-5 weeks, depending on natural nail growth, length, daily wear, and aftercare.
When to Book a Refill
Book around week 4 if the existing set is still holding well and you want to maintain the same length and shape.
When a New Set May Be Needed
After 6+ weeks, or if there is significant lifting or structural damage, your technician may recommend rebuilding the full set.

FAQ: Gel Nail Extensions
- Are these Gel-X, acrylic, or sculpted gel extensions?
- These are sculpted gel extensions built directly on forms. They are not Gel-X tips or acrylic. Building on forms allows the technician to control the structure, length, fit, and final shape.
- Do I need extensions if only one or two nails are broken?
- Not necessarily. For broken corners, targeted rebuilding, shape correction, or a small amount of restored length, Hard Gel Modeling & Sculpting may be the better service. Choose extensions when you want substantial added length across a full set.
