Prices and counts: the 8 most-viewed listings we checked on creatrip.com on 2026-10-25. Booking-site prices are often promotions and change without notice.

1. You choose a color or design. Some shops post monthly designs.
2. Staff may suggest colors that suit your skin tone.
3. A base coat goes on to protect the nail.
4. The color or design is applied, then a glossy top coat.

• Look at the shop's posted designs online before you go.
• Ask whether the price is for one color or for art, and what each extra costs.
• Some shops take only one booking at a time, so book ahead.
• Some shops offer a lash perm in the same visit. Ask if you want both.

• Ask how gel will be removed later, and whether removal at the shop costs extra.

3. Compare the written answers. Booking-site banners are often promotions and change without notice.
4. For lasers, injections or anything a doctor does, read the treatment page first and ask the clinic for its registration to treat foreign patients.
