What is the price of nail extensions in Chennai?
Nail extensions in Chennai at Based Aesthetics, Kilpauk: from ₹2,200 for both hands, colour included. Refills, removal and what to ask before you book.
At Based Aesthetics in Kilpauk, gel, soft gel and polygel nail extensions start from ₹2,200 for both hands, with colour included. A refill starts from ₹1,500, removal is ₹700, and a set lasts about 3 weeks.
What the ₹2,200 covers
The starting price is for a full set on both hands. Colour is part of that price, not an add-on. We work in three systems: gel, soft gel and polygel. We do not use acrylic.
If you are weighing extensions against BIAB, that also starts from ₹2,200. If you are unsure which one suits your nails and your routine, ask during the free nail assessment.
Comparing prices across Chennai
Search for nail extension prices in Chennai and you will find several price guides, each with its own numbers. Before you compare one figure with another, check what each one actually includes:
- Is it for both hands, or per hand?
- Is colour included, or charged on top?
- Is removal of your old set extra?
- What does a refill cost, and when is it due?
- How are the tools cleaned between clients?
Two prices are only comparable once you know the answers. Ask the same five questions wherever you go, including here.
The full cost over time
Extensions are not a one-off spend. A set lasts about 3 weeks. After that you have two choices:
- A refill, from ₹1,500, to keep the set going.
- Removal, at ₹700, if you want a break or a change.
So when you plan for extensions, think in three-week cycles rather than a single visit. That gives you a clearer picture than the first-visit price on its own.
What you pay for but cannot see
Part of any price is hygiene, and that is hard to judge from a menu. Here is how it works with us. Every reusable metal tool is sterilised in a Class-B autoclave at 134°C and sealed in a pouch with an indicator strip. The pouch is opened in front of you. Files and buffers are single-use and go home with you after your appointment. You can read the full process on how we sterilise.
Not sure extensions are right for you
If your nails are thin, peeling or still growing out after a previous set, it is worth a check before you book. You can start with the free nail scan online, or come in for a free 30–40 minute nail assessment in the studio.
If anything looks sore, discoloured or infected, please see a doctor first. Our view is simple: a doctor comes first, a salon second.
