About 60 minutes

How we look after you and your nails or hair during this service.
- Flexes with your nail, so it absorbs knocks instead of cracking.
- Applied over the natural nail with almost no filing.
- Grows out cleanly and can be infilled rather than fully removed.
- Wear it clear for an invisible strengthener or tinted for a soft-glam finish.
The experience
What the appointment is actually like from the moment you sit down.
- We assess your nail health first and explain exactly why builder gel would help.

Licensed technicians and cosmetologists caring for Oklahoma City metro clients since 1996 — many with us over ten years.

Common questions
- Is builder gel the same as BIAB?
- Yes — builder-in-a-bottle is a builder gel. Ours is applied as a strengthening overlay on the natural nail.
- Will it damage my nails?
- No. With gentle prep and soak-off removal, most clients find their nails are stronger afterwards.
