Get answers to common questions about Acrylic Fill.

We recommend scheduling an acrylic fill every two to four weeks depending on growth rate and lifestyle. Faster growers or active hands may need two-week fills; most clients maintain optimal strength and appearance with three-week intervals.

When performed by trained technicians using proper prep and removal techniques, acrylic fills do not inherently damage natural nails. Regular maintenance, gentle filing, and professional removal help preserve nail health and minimize thinning or trauma.

Fill appointments typically take 45 to 75 minutes depending on nail length, regrowth amount, and added services like shaping or polish. Please arrive with clean nails; repairs or intricate designs may require extra time during busy appointments.

Yes — you can change shape or color during a fill if the structure supports it. Our technicians will assess the set, trim and reshape as needed, then apply your chosen color or finish for an updated look.

If you notice lifting, contact us promptly to schedule a repair and avoid water or debris getting under the nail. Avoid peeling or picking; cover the area gently with nail glue or a bandage until you can come in.

Keep nails dry and moisturized, apply cuticle oil daily, and wear gloves for cleaning or heavy tasks. Avoid harsh chemicals and use non-acetone polish remover. Schedule regular fills every two to four weeks to maintain adhesion and appearance.
