First BIAB Appointment? Here’s Exactly What to Expect

If you’ve never had BIAB nails before, booking your first appointment can feel a bit daunting - but don’t worry, I’ve got you.

This is exactly what happens when you come to me for BIAB nails in my Torbay salon, so you feel fully prepared and relaxed.

Step 1: Nail consultation

We’ll start by looking at your natural nails and chatting about:

• Your nail goals

• Your lifestyle

• Any previous nail treatments

• What finish you want (natural, nude, colour, nail art etc.)

This helps me tailor everything to you.

Step 2: Nail prep

This is where the transformation starts. I’ll:

• Remove any old product

• Shape your nails

• Tidy cuticles

• Lightly prep the nail plate

This ensures your BIAB lasts properly.

Step 3: BIAB application

Then the BIAB is applied in layers and cured under an LED lamp.

This is where the strength and structure is built.

You’ll start to see your nails:

• Look smoother

• Feel stronger

• Appear more even

Step 4: Colour or design (optional)

You can keep your BIAB natural or add:

• Gel colour

• French tips

• Nail art

• Chrome or seasonal designs

Step 5: Finishing touches

We finish with a top coat for shine or matte, plus cuticle oil to keep everything healthy.

Does it hurt?

No - BIAB should never hurt. It’s a gentle, relaxing appointment. Most clients actually find it really therapeutic.
