Context
Why Acrylic Prices Vary
A full set can run anywhere from $30 to $100+ depending on where you go and what you ask for. The main factors that move the price:
- ✦ Shape & length — longer lengths and complex shapes (coffin, stiletto) take more time and product
- ✦ Salon quality — product brand, tech experience, and how much time is taken per set
- ✦ Nail art — any design added is priced on top of the base service
- ✦ Location — salons in high-rent areas charge more to cover overhead

Maintenance
Fill vs. Full Set — What's the Difference?
A lot of people come in not knowing whether they need a fill or a full set. Here's the simple version:
| Service | What It Is | When You Need It |
|---|---|---|
| Fill | Fills in the gap that forms as your natural nail grows out. Keeps your existing extensions intact. | Every 2–3 weeks after your full set |
| Full Set | Starts completely from scratch. All extensions replaced. | Every 6–8 weeks, or when extensions are lifted/damaged |
If you're coming in for the first time or your acrylics have lifted significantly, you'll need a full set. Ask us when you call — we'll tell you which one applies to your situation before you book.
Worth Knowing
Is Cheaper Always Better?
No. Low-cost acrylics often mean rushed application, cheaper product, or both. That usually shows up as lifting within the first week or uneven structure that breaks easily.
At Nail'd It! Spa, we use quality product and take time on every set. The goal is nails that look good and stay on — not a quick turnaround. Our $50 full set reflects that. Ask our clients on Yelp if you want a second opinion.
