Real length, built to fit.
A full set of gel nail extensions built on reusable upper forms, one chosen per nail rather than sized from a kit. Short to extra-long, with the apex and stress zone shaped by hand. Three to four weeks of wear, refillable within 28 days for short or medium nails, 21 for long and 17 for extra-long.
A Full Set builds real length and shape using reusable upper forms — not pre-made tips sized from a kit. Each of the ten nails gets its own form, chosen for width, curve and the length you want, so the apex and stress zone are built for that nail rather than compromised across ten sizes from one mould.
The appointment includes:
110–120 min, in this order, ten nails done individually.
Both are gel, and both can add some length, which is exactly why this decision confuses people. The difference is what each is built to do. Gel Overlay strengthens and rebuilds the architecture of your own nail, and it can add moderate length — short, medium or long. A Full Set is a dedicated extension service: it is built for length and form from the start, and it is the only one of the two that reaches extra-long.
If your own nails are structurally sound and you want them stronger or slightly longer, Gel Overlay is very likely the shorter, cheaper appointment. If you want length your own nails cannot grow, or a specific shape a natural nail cannot hold, that is a Full Set. At long length the two genuinely overlap in outcome — the honest answer at that length is to say so at the table rather than pretend the line is sharper than it is. Past long, the line is not a judgment call: extra-long is built for Full Set and its refill only, never for Gel Overlay.
Not sure which is yours? Say what you have and what you want at booking, and the technician confirms before anything is applied — the estimate and the time are agreed before work starts, not after.
Short is included in the set price. Medium adds C$12, long adds C$25, and extra-long adds C$41 — the only length category that reaches past what Gel Overlay can do. Beyond extra-long, unusual or extreme requests are assessed and priced at the appointment rather than by a fixed table.
New set or refill. If you already have extensions and they are holding their shape, a Flawless Gel Refill maintains them for less time and less cost than starting over. A Full Set is for a first set, a change of length or shape, or extensions past the point a refill can carry them.
Coating or gel we applied is removed free when you book a new service with us. Another salon's extensions are never refilled — removal as a paid Complex Removal, then a new set.

Choose Gel Overlay when you want your own nails reinforced: the technician chooses the material after assessing the nail, and the overlay can build some length, normally short through long. Book a Flawless Gel Nail Extensions — Full Set for length beyond long, or to rebuild a missing part of a nail on an upper form.
Book a Gel Refill while your Gel Overlay or extension set is within its refill window: up to 28 days for short or medium nails, 21 days for long and 17 days for extra-long, counted from your last refill or new set to your appointment date. Regular refills keep the set in shape, and a refill costs less than a new full set. After the window, a Gel Overlay restarts as a new Gel Overlay and extensions as a New Full Set. If we can’t confirm your last visit or nail length, the studio checks before confirming. We refill only work we built: another salon’s extensions, Gel-X or acrylic are removed as a paid Complex Removal first.
It starts with an assessment of your nails’ thickness, flexibility and any damage. The builder gel is then chosen for your length and nail condition: we use builder gels from DARK, DNKa’ and LUNAmoon rather than the original BIAB™. The work itself is gentle on the plate: minimal filing, no pressure or overheating, and removal by material, never by tearing, leaving a safe thin layer rather than filing down to the natural nail. The honest limit: it is a coating that needs upkeep, and it does not heal or treat a nail.
Three to four weeks of wear. To keep it in shape, book your refill within 28 days for short or medium nails, 21 for long and 17 for extra-long (Gel Overlay goes up to long). If a nail chips or lifts within five days of your appointment, we fix it free, up to three nails; the exclusions are in our policies.
No, neither is offered, including repairs and single nails. For length we build upper-form gel extensions with a form chosen for each nail; where no form fits, the form lays down the length and the apex is built by hand. Where acrylic-level strength is the goal, we use lamp-cured polygel or acrygel, which has a low odour and minimal cure heat.
Every service is priced with its time on our prices page and in online booking. Standard extra length, including extra-long, books at those prices; custom lengths beyond extra-long are assessed and priced at the appointment. Removing another salon’s work is a separate paid Complex Removal. Before any work starts, your estimated total and time are confirmed with you.
