Nail Design Price Estimator | Dream Spa in Austin, TX

Step one

Starting fresh, or filling what you have?

A full set is built from scratch. A fill rebalances a set we can still work with, at the growth line.

Full set or fill

Full set All new nails, in any shape or length you want. Fill Your current set, tidied up and rebalanced.

Step two

What should your nails be made of?

Three ways to build an extension. They wear differently, they come off differently, and they are priced differently.

Nail material

Acrylic Set / fill from$60 / $50

Sculpted by hand, so any shape or length is on the table
The strongest set we do — best for long or squared-off tips
Grows out with fills instead of a full redo

Aprés Gel-X^® Any visit from$70

Pre-shaped soft gel tips need almost no filing
Light enough that you forget you're wearing them
Soaks off clean when you're ready for a change

Hard Gel Set / fill from$60 / $50

Lighter and more flexible than acrylic
Glass-like shine, and no monomer smell in the chair
Strong enough for extensions, kinder to the nail plate

Step three

How much art is going on top?

Art is quoted on top of your set, based on how much freehand work and chair time it takes. Find your idea below.
