Profiles show the full price list — a gel manicure, a new set, an infill, a removal — along with the area the technician works from and whether they are mobile. Prices vary more by technique and nail length than by city, so it is worth comparing the same treatment across a few technicians before you choose one to stick with.
The things that matter are prep and removal: careful cuticle work, product applied to a healthy natural nail and old product soaked or filed off properly, never pulled. Technicians in the directory declare their training, from VTCT Level 2 Nail Services to Level 3 Nail Technology and brand-certified BIAB courses, and the verified badge means we have seen it.

What is the difference between gel, BIAB and acrylic nails?
+
Gel polish is a thin coat over the natural nail that lasts two to three weeks. BIAB is a thicker builder gel that strengthens the nail and can add a little length. Acrylic is a powder-and-liquid extension that gives the most length and shape. Each needs proper removal, not peeling.
Is a home nail studio as hygienic as a salon?
+
It should be. Look for a dedicated nail desk, files and buffers that are new or disinfected for each client, metal tools that are cleaned and disinfected between appointments, and good ventilation or extraction for acrylic work. Most home technicians are happy to show you their set-up before you book.
How often do I need an infill?
+
Every two to three weeks for acrylics and builder gel, as the natural nail grows out. Leaving it longer puts stress on the nail and makes lifting more likely, which is when water and bacteria can get underneath.
