How much do nail extensions cost in Chennai? (2026)
Nail extensions in Chennai, 2026: from ₹2,200 for both hands at our Kilpauk studio. What a plain set, a design, a refill and removal each cost.
At Based Aesthetics in Kilpauk, gel, soft gel and polygel nail extensions cost from ₹2,200 for both hands in 2026, with colour included. Any design on extensions is a flat ₹2,999, a refill starts from ₹1,500 and removal is ₹700.
Below, the cost is broken down by what you want from the visit. For the questions worth asking any salon before you compare prices, see what is the price of nail extensions in Chennai.
A plain set
If you want length and a single colour, the starting point is ₹2,200. That covers both hands, and colour is part of the price rather than an extra. There are three systems to choose from:
- Gel
- Soft gel
- Polygel
All three start from the same price. We do not use acrylic. If you are not sure which system suits your nails, the free 30–40 minute nail assessment in the studio is the place to decide.
A set with a design
On extensions, any design is a flat ₹2,999. French, chrome, ombre or detailed work all sit under that one price, so you do not have to add up styles one by one.
Individual add-ons can also go on a set or on gel polish, from ₹250 for simple art up to ₹1,500 for detailed art. Every style is listed in nail art in Chennai. If you have a design saved, send the photo on WhatsApp and ask which price applies.
Keeping the set going
A set lasts about 3 weeks. At that point you can book a refill, from ₹1,500, to keep the same set going. That costs less than a new set from ₹2,200, which is why it helps to plan in three-week cycles rather than single visits.
Taking it off
Removal of an extension set is ₹700. If you plan to go back to your natural nails, include it in your sums from the start.
If extensions are more than you need
If you mainly want colour that stays put, these may suit you better:
- Gel polish, ₹1,000. Long-wear gel on your own nails, lasting about 3 weeks.
- Gel polish manicure, ₹1,700. A manicure and gel colour together.
- BIAB, from ₹2,200. Worth asking about at your assessment.
A regular manicure starts from ₹1,000. We compare these in more detail in do gel nails cost more than a regular manicure.
What stays the same at every price
The hygiene does not change with the bill. Every reusable metal tool is sterilised in a Class-B autoclave at 134°C, sealed in a pouch with an indicator strip, and opened in front of you. Files and buffers are single-use and go home with you. Cuticles are pushed, never cut.
Before you book
If your nails are thin, peeling or still growing out after a previous set, start with the free nail scan online or the free assessment in the studio. If a nail looks sore, discoloured or infected, please see a doctor first. Our line is simple: a doctor comes first, a salon second.
We are at 11/5 Sundar Lal Nahata Avenue, Kilpauk, open daily from 11 to 8, with parking on site. Women and men are welcome. Every service and its time is on the full price list, or WhatsApp us on +91 98848 96963.
