Gel Nail Extensions in NYC
Nail extensions at M. STUDIO are for when length and structure need more than polish. We sculpt with hard gel toward a clean silhouette that still moves like a natural nail when it is done right. Extensions build on our Russian manicure dry prep at 34 W 37th St, Midtown Manhattan.
Correction visits are part of the rhythm — growth happens, and we plan for it. Whether you need a full set or a fill, our technicians focus on shape, strength, and a finish that lasts between appointments.
Why hard gel extensions
- Durable structure — hard gel gives real length and reinforcement without the brittleness of acrylics.
- Natural flexibility — properly sculpted hard gel moves with the nail, reducing breaks.
- Russian prep foundation — every extension starts with our dry e-file cuticle work for a seamless base.
- Correction-friendly — fills and reshaping keep extensions looking fresh as they grow out.
Extension & correction pricing
A full set takes approximately 3 hours; a refill takes approximately 2 hours 30 minutes.
Choose your service and technician in online booking to see current prices and available appointments. Removal, optional extras, taxes and applicable fees may affect the total.
If you are new to extensions, book enough time for shaping and color — we would rather under-promise on speed than rush a structure you live with for weeks. Select any design extras in online booking so enough time is reserved.
Extensions vs. gel overlay vs. gel polish
Extensions add length. Gel overlay (builder base) reinforces your natural nail without adding length. Gel polish is color only. If you do not need length, a gel manicure with optional hard gel overlay may be the better fit.

What are gel nail extensions?⌄
Gel nail extensions use hard gel to sculpt additional length beyond your natural nail. Unlike acrylics, hard gel is more flexible and bonds securely to the natural nail with proper prep.
How often do extensions need correction?⌄
Most clients come in for a correction (fill) every 3 to 4 weeks as the nail grows out. Regular corrections keep the extension balanced and prevent lifting.
How much do nail extensions cost?⌄
Choose your service and technician in online booking to see current prices and available appointments. Removal, optional extras, taxes and applicable fees may affect the total.
Are extensions safe for natural nails?⌄
Yes, when applied and removed by trained professionals. We use proper e-file prep and avoid excessive filing of the natural nail surface.
Can I get short, office-appropriate extensions?⌄
Yes. We sculpt hard gel to your preferred length — many Midtown clients choose a short, natural almond or square shape that looks polished at work without extra length.
Are gel extensions good for weak nails?⌄
Hard gel can add structure when applied correctly. If your nails are very thin, ask about overlay or our Japanese manicure to strengthen before extending.
How do I book?⌄
Book online through our website or call +1 (929) 507-40-60. We are open Monday – Sunday, 10 AM – 8 PM at 34 W 37th St, New York.
100% Sterilized Tools
Every reusable instrument goes through our 4-stage sterilization cycle and is sealed in a sterile craft bag — opened in front of you before the service begins. Stations are fully reset between guests.
