Nail extensions in Ljubljana
Gel nails on a form or on a tip, from €55. Studio at Dunajska cesta 13 in Ljubljana, by appointment.
Extensions are our main service. We build the nail in gel — on a form or on a tip — to whatever length and shape you want.
What happens at the appointment
First we work the cuticle by the Russian method and prepare the surface of the natural nail. Then we apply gel and shape the nail to the agreed length and shape. Colour or a design follows, and finally the edges are shaped and buffed. Allow about two hours for a first visit.
Lengths and prices
The price depends on the length, not on how difficult the colour is.
- S — extensions €55, infill €50
- M — extensions €55, infill €50
- L — extensions €65, infill €50
- XL — extensions €75, infill €60
The full price list, with surcharges for nail art and 3D design, is on the price list.
Infills every three to four weeks
Gel does not wear out — what becomes visible is the regrowth at the cuticle as your own nail grows. Most clients come for an infill every three to four weeks. At an infill we shorten the nail, level the surface with the regrowth and reapply gel and colour. If you only want to change the colour, a mini infill costs €20.
If you do not want extensions
If your own nails are strong enough and you only want colour, there is gel polish and BIAB. BIAB also strengthens the natural nail, with no extension.
How to look after your nails between appointments is on the nail care.
On a form or on a tip — the difference
On a form means the extension is built from gel over a paper or metal form slid under the natural nail. It allows a more precise shape and a thinner result, because we build from nothing. It also works when the natural nail is very short.
On a tip means a plastic tip is glued to the natural nail and covered with gel. It is quicker, and suits nails whose bed is long enough for the tip to sit well.
Which technique suits you we judge in the studio — the shape of your own nail decides it, not the price. Both are on the price list at the same rate.
Lengths S, M, L and XL
The letters are the length of the extension. A longer nail needs more material and more careful building to stay strong, so it costs more: S and M €55, L €65, XL €75. Most clients choose S or M, because those are the most practical for work, typing and housework. For a special occasion you can go longer once and come back to a shorter length next time.
Shapes
We do classic and modern shapes — square, almond, oval, coffin and stiletto. Shape affects durability: the more pointed it is, the more easily it breaks. If you want both length and durability, almond is a sensible compromise.
Colours and nail art
The studio holds more than 250 shades. Besides a single colour we do French, baby boom, nail art and 3D work — prices are on the price list. For a more elaborate design, tell us in advance so we can set aside enough time.
An infill instead of a new set
Come for an infill every three to four weeks. We fill the grown-out area at the cuticle, correct the shape and apply fresh colour. An infill costs less than a new set (€50–60 depending on length) and is kinder to the natural nail, because we do not remove the material completely. If a nail breaks in between, we repair it singly for €5.
Do extensions cause damage
The extension itself does not damage the natural nail. What damages it is removing it wrongly — peeling, pulling or rough filing that takes off the top layers. That is why we always remove the material ourselves, and why nail care stresses that you should never try to lift an edge yourself.
When extensions are not the right choice
If your cuticle is inflamed, you have a fungal infection or an open cut, we would rather move the appointment — more about that under hygiene and sterilisation. If what you mainly want is long-lasting colour without extra length, the better choice is gel polish or BIAB.
How long it takes
A first set takes about two hours, an infill a little less. There is one client in the studio at a time, so we do not rush an appointment — the time you booked is entirely yours. Book online or call 064 277 047.
