About Nail Extensions & Overlays
Nails That Match Your Mood
At The SoBo Nail Salon, nails are more than just a beauty thing - they're a whole vibe. I want your nails to feel like you, whether that's chill and simple or full-on drama. My goal? You walk out feeling like a star, but without burning a hole in your pocket.
What I Can Do
- Glossy, matte, chrome, glitter, or even magnetic 'cat eye' finishes - you name it, I do it.
- Ombré nail extension designs are a big hit here, from soft pink fades to bold color combos.
- Classic French tips, but also fun twists like colored or glittery versions.
- Hand-painted nail art: smileys, swirls, butterflies, bridal stuff, or just something wild you saw on Insta.
- Want bling? I add rhinestones, 3D charms, tiny diamonds - all that jazz.
Extensions & Overlays
- Need length? I use gel, acrylic, or dipping powder for extensions in any shape - almond, coffin, stiletto, whatever suits your style.
- Love your natural nails but want them stronger? Overlays are perfect. I just add a gel layer for extra strength and a smooth base for art or color.
- Nail refill for acrylic extensions is available, so you can keep your set looking fresh as your nails grow.
The Salon Vibe
It's relaxed, friendly, and honestly, a bit like a mini therapy session. Good nails take time, especially if you want something super detailed or blingy, so just chill and enjoy.
Keeping Nails Fresh
Refills are the way to go if you want your extensions to last. I fill in the gap as your nails grow, reshape, and repaint so they look brand new.
