GEL NAIL EXTENSIONS · MIDTOWN MANHATTAN

Gel Nail Extensions in NYC

Want more length than your natural nails have right now? At M.STUDIO, gel extensions are shaped around the length and outline you want—from a short almond to a longer square or oval set. The appointment begins with detailed dry nail preparation before the new length is built and refined.

A new set and a correction are different appointments. Choose the one that matches what is already on your nails.

Full Sets From $180

Final price depends on your booking choice and any selected additions.

What Happens During a Gel Nail Extension Appointment?

You do not need to arrive with long nails. The purpose of an extension appointment is to add length, then shape and finish it as one balanced set. The length you choose affects the structure your nail artist builds and the time needed for the service.

When You Want More Length

A gel manicure applies color to the nails you already have. A hard gel overlay adds structure while generally keeping your existing length. Nail extensions go beyond the natural free edge. They are the appointment to choose when you want a longer silhouette or a shape your current nail length cannot support.

Some clients want only a few millimeters; others want a longer almond or square. Bring a photo if you have a specific length or outline in mind. Your nail artist can discuss what works with your natural nails before building the set.

Hard Gel for Your Natural Length

Dry Preparation Before the Extension

The appointment begins with a look at your natural nails and any product already on them. The nail artist refines the shape and prepares the cuticle area using M.STUDIO's dry e-file technique. Existing material may need to be removed or adjusted first, so mention it when booking.

The new length is built with the extension material suited to the selected appointment and then cured and shaped. M.STUDIO's published extension description specifies hard gel. We do not assume a particular manufacturer's system or claim that every set uses the same upper or lower form.

Shape, Structure and Finish

The most important choices are length, side profile and final nail shape. Almond creates a tapered outline; square keeps a straighter free edge; oval is softer at the tip. A short extension can look understated, while added length provides more room for detailed designs.

During shaping, the nail artist refines the surface, sidewalls and apex so the new length is balanced. Choose the one-color appointment if you want a simple gel finish. Chrome, cat-eye, ombré or intricate nail art should be selected as available additions, not assumed to be included in the standard booking.

Grow-Out, Refills and Removal

Your own nails continue to grow beneath extensions. As the set moves away from the cuticle line, the balance and appearance change. A correction, sometimes called a refill or fill-in, is for an existing set that can be maintained rather than replaced.

Many clients arrange maintenance around three to four weeks, but the timing depends on nail growth, length, product condition and everyday wear. If the structure is lifting, cracked or significantly overdue, ask the studio whether a correction is appropriate or a new set is needed. Do not pry or peel extensions off at home.

Nail Preparation, Hygiene and Sterilization

Extension work involves detailed preparation, reusable instruments and several stages of shaping. At M.STUDIO, reusable metal tools follow the studio's cleaning, disinfection and sterilization process between guests. The tools are prepared before the appointment, and the workstation is reset for the next client.

See how we prepare our tools before your visit.

Choose a Full Set or a Correction

The correct booking depends on whether you need new length or already have extensions that have grown out. These are separate service types, so please choose carefully when reserving a time.

Nail Extensions — Full Set, One Color

For clients adding length. Your nail artist prepares the nails, creates the selected extension length and shape, and finishes according to the one-color booking option. Extra-long length, existing-product removal, repairs and design work may require additional time or charges depending on the current menu.

From $180Allow approximately 3 hours

Correction of Extended Nails — One Color

Already wearing extensions? A correction addresses growth near the base, rebalances the existing structure where possible, refines the shape and updates the selected finish. Tell the studio if the set was applied elsewhere, if nails are lifting, or if one or more extensions are broken. A heavily grown-out or damaged set may require a different appointment.

From $140Allow approximately 2 hours 30 minutes

Starting prices and appointment lengths depend on the selected technician and service. Removal, repairs, additional length and nail art may change the final total. Review the booking details before confirming.

Not Sure Which Service to Choose?

You want extra length: book Nail Extensions — Full Set.

You already have a set that has grown out: book Correction of Extended Nails, subject to its condition.

You like your natural length but need structure: choose a Hard Gel Manicure.

You only want color on natural nails: choose a Gel Manicure.

Nail Extensions FAQ

Gel nail extensions add length beyond the edge of your natural nails. The technician builds and refines the extension structure, then shapes the set and applies the selected finish. M.STUDIO's published extension service is described as sculpted hard gel.

An extension appointment creates extra length. A hard gel manicure generally adds structure over the nail length you already have. If you are happy with your current length, see our Hard Gel Manicure page instead.

No. Gel-X typically uses pre-shaped, full-cover soft gel tips. Sculpted gel extensions are built using an extension system to create length and refine the nail shape. M.STUDIO has not confirmed Gel-X as an available booking option; please select the actual extension service shown in our menu.

Choose a full set when you want new extensions. Choose correction or refill if you already have extensions that have grown out and may be maintained. If the existing product is lifting, cracking or from another salon, contact us before booking so the right amount of time can be reserved.

The published starting price for a full set is $180. Your final price can vary by technician, length, repairs, existing-product removal and design. Check the current booking options before confirming. Correction pricing is listed separately in booking.

Our previously published menu allowed about three hours for a full set and two hours and thirty minutes for a correction. Current appointment lengths depend on the service and technician. Allow additional time if you have an intricate design or material that needs removing.

Yes. Adding just a little length is still an extension service. Bring reference photos of a short almond, oval or square shape if you have a specific look in mind. The technician can discuss a suitable length for your nails.

Almond, oval and square are common options. The shape that can be achieved depends on your starting nails, requested length and selected extension service. Your artist can refine the outline before finishing the set.

Many clients return around three to four weeks after a full set, but there is no fixed interval for everyone. Growth, lifting, length and daily wear determine whether a refill is appropriate. If an extension catches, cracks or lifts, contact the studio rather than waiting for the next regular appointment.

Available finishes and design options depend on the appointment you select. Some require additional time or a separately priced add-on. Check the booking menu and visit our Nail Art page for examples. A detailed design is not automatically included with a one-color set.

Apply cuticle oil regularly, wear gloves when using household cleaning products, and avoid using your nails to pry things open. Do not pull off or peel back a lifting extension. Arrange professional correction or removal if the material becomes loose or damaged.

Use our online booking page and choose Gel Extensions for a new set or Gel Extension Refill for maintenance, if these are the current names in the booking menu. M.STUDIO is at 34 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018. You can also call +1 (929) 507-4060.
