Nail FAQs

What's the difference between BIAB and gel polish?

Gel polish is colour on your natural nail, the lightest option. BIAB (builder gel) adds structure and strength underneath, ideal if your nails are soft, breaking, or growing out. BIAB + Gel colour gives you the strength with a pop of gel colour of your choice.

Do you do infills on nails?

No. To protect natural nail health and ensure consistent results, services are done as fresh sets only. This prevents underlying lifting, trapped moisture, and product breakdown that can occur during infills.

Do you do nail extensions?

No, I don't offer nail extensions.

How do I choose between simple and detailed art?

Check the nail posts on Instagram: every set there is captioned with its design name and price. If you're unsure, DM @by.bbys with your inspo photo before booking and I'll tell you exactly what to select.

Can I send inspiration photos?

Yes, please. DM them before booking so the right time is set aside. You can also paste the design name in your Fresha booking notes.

What if a nail breaks?

If any nails are cracked or damaged before your new set, add a nail repair (£2 per nail) when you book. Any concerns about a finished set must be reported within 48 hours of the appointment.

Is removal included?

Removal is charged separately: £4 with a fresh set, or £10 without one (£15 if the product is from another artist). Please don't peel or pick product off at home.

Can you work over another technician's product?

No. I don't work over another technician's nails or lashes. Nails are fresh sets only; lashes need a removal (£15) before a fresh set.

Found your next set?

Booking runs through Fresha, and a £15 deposit applies to certain services. Not sure which art tier fits? DM @by.bbys with your inspo photo first.
