Acrylic Nails

Acrylic nails are the strongest, most sculpted extension we offer — ideal if you want real length, a bold shape, or a set that stands up to a busy pair of hands. Each nail is hand-built and shaped to suit you, then finished with a long-wearing gel polish colour of your choice. Conveniently located in Old Strathcona, Pink Beauty offers evening and weekend appointments to fit your schedule.

Removals

Removal costs less when you add it to another appointment than when you book it on its own — it takes less chair time that way. Both options are here so you can choose:

Nail Extension Removal — on its own
$30

A standalone appointment to take off acrylic, gel, or Gel-X extensions. Gentle filing and soaking, taking the time to do it properly.

Nail Extension Removal — added to another service
$20

The same careful removal, added to a new set or fill in the same visit.

Gel Polish / Shellac Removal — on its own
$15

A standalone appointment to soak off gel polish or shellac, leaving your nails clean and ready.

Gel Polish / Shellac Removal — added to another service
$10

The same removal, added to another appointment in the same visit.

Please don’t peel or force extensions off at home — that is what damages the natural nail. Book a removal, and we’ll take them off gently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between acrylic and gel nail extensions?

Acrylic is built from a liquid and powder that hardens into a strong, rigid extension — the best choice for length, bold shapes, and durability. Gel extensions are built with hard gel that stays lighter and more flexible, with a high-gloss finish. If you’re hard on your hands or want dramatic length, acrylic is usually the better fit.

Acrylic is very durable. As your natural nail grows, a gap appears near the cuticle — a fill every 2–3 weeks closes that gap and rebalances the set.

New sets and fills both take about 75 minutes. Detailed nail art can add time — mention what you want at booking so we can set aside enough time. If you have an inspo pic, please upload it into our booking software.

Yes. We offer three tiers of nail art, plus ombre, cateye, and 3D designs — see our add-ons. Tell us the look you’re after at booking, or upload a photo into our booking software so your technician knows exactly what you have in mind.

Please don’t peel or force them off — that is what damages the natural nail underneath. Book a nail extension removal and we’ll take them off gently with careful filing and soaking ($30 on its own, or $20 added to another service).
