Nail treatments FAQ
What nail treatments do you offer in Truro?
We offer BIAB nails, classic manicure, pedicure, gel polish and nail treatments for men. Our most popular service is BIAB (Builder In A Bottle), a flexible gel overlay applied to the natural nail that lasts 3 to 5 weeks without chipping.
What is BIAB and how is it different from gel nails?
BIAB is a structured gel product applied to the natural nail plate, not an extension. Unlike gel polish, BIAB adds strength and thickness to the nail itself, making it ideal for weak or damaged nails. It lasts 3 to 5 weeks and grows out without lifting. See our BIAB nails page for full detail.
How long does a manicure or pedicure take?
A classic manicure takes 45 to 60 minutes. A pedicure runs 60 to 75 minutes including foot soak, exfoliation, cuticle care, massage and polish. BIAB appointments are around 60 to 90 minutes depending on whether it is a new set or infill.
Can you remove BIAB or gel nails safely?
Yes. Professional removal is included as part of your appointment when you book a new set or infill. We do not recommend home removal as improper technique can thin the natural nail plate. For standalone removal please call us on 01872 262844.
