Question 4

What is the longest-lasting nail service in Manila?

Accepted Answer

Hard gel or polygel extensions last 4–6 weeks with proper care. Nail Overdose Makati (polygel specialist) and KIYOSA (hard gel extensions) both offer the longest-lasting results in Metro Manila. To maximize longevity: use cuticle oil daily, avoid harsh chemicals, wear gloves for cleaning, and schedule infills every 2–3 weeks rather than full removal.

Question 5

Can I walk in without a booking at QC nail salons?

Accepted Answer

Most BGC and Makati nail salons accept walk-ins on weekdays from 10 AM–5 PM. Weekends (especially Saturday 11 AM–3 PM) can have 1–2 hour waits at popular studios. Nail Overdose Makati is strictly appointment-based. KIYOSA salons prefer bookings via their website. Call ahead on weekends to confirm current wait times.
