Custom shapes, rock-solid hold, and full sets starting at $50. The classic extension system — done right by a Vietnamese-owned family salon.
Acrylic nails are built from a powder-and-liquid system sculpted directly onto your nail or a tip. Once set, they're rock-hard — the most durable extension option available. Full sets start at $50, with fills available for clients maintaining their set.
Acrylics are ideal if you want dramatic length, intricate nail art, or a set that can hold up through serious wear. Your tech sculpts the shape right at the nail — so you can go as long, as square, or as coffin-shaped as you want.

Harder than any other extension type — holds up through anything your hands go through.
Square, coffin, almond, stiletto — sculpted to exactly what you want.
The hard, stable surface is perfect for detailed hand-painted designs and embellishments.
Maintain your set with fills every 2–3 weeks — no need for a full redo each time.

How much do acrylic nails cost in Stanton?
A full acrylic set starts at $50 at Nail'd It! Spa. Fill pricing is available for clients maintaining an existing set — mention it when you book or call (714) 947-0303.
How long do acrylic nails last?
You'll want a fill every 2–3 weeks as your natural nail grows out. A full set — from fresh application to soak-off — typically lasts 6–8 weeks before needing to be replaced.
Do you do acrylic fills?
Yes. If you already have an acrylic set and just need the grown-out area filled in, we do fills. Ask about fill pricing when booking — it's less than a full set.
What nail shapes do you offer?
Square, coffin, almond, stiletto, oval — any shape you want. Bring a reference photo and your tech will match it. We can also help you pick a shape that suits your hand.
Can I add nail art to my acrylic set?
Yes — acrylics are actually the best surface for detailed nail art because of how hard and flat the nail is. Nail art starts at $5 per nail as an add-on to your set.
Is there a difference between acrylic and gel nails?
Yes. Acrylic uses a powder + liquid monomer system that's sculpted and air-dried. Gel uses a pre-mixed formula cured under UV or LED light. Both extend the nail — they just differ in feel, application, and removal. We offer both styles at Nail'd It! Spa.
