How much are acrylic nails at Element Nail Bar?

Full set and fill prices

A full set is the first appointment, where acrylic is built on every nail. Ours starts at $60 and takes about an hour. A fill, which rebuilds the new growth near the cuticle on a set you already have, starts at $50 and also takes about an hour.

Both prices carry a plus sign because they are starting points. Two clients can sit down for the same service and end up with different totals once length, shape and art are decided. If you are unsure which one fits, describe your current nails and the tech will tell you which service applies.

What pushes the price up

Length uses more product and shaping time. A short natural-looking set is quicker than a long almond or coffin shape. Extreme shapes need more filing and more careful balancing so they do not snap. Ask the tech what your nail beds can carry, since a shape that is balanced on one hand may not suit another.

Other items count too. Removal of an old set, repairs on broken nails and anything beyond a single color add time and cost. Design add-ons start at $10. If you want ombre, hand-painted flowers or gold details, tell the tech first so the price matches the work.

The cost over a few months

Acrylic is usually kept up with fills about every two to three weeks as the nail grows out. Count one full set, then fills. That pattern is why many people compare the long-term cost of acrylic with Gel-X, dip or builder gel rather than the first-visit price alone.

Skipping a fill for too long leaves a gap at the cuticle where the nail can catch and lift. If you have a crack or lifting between visits, come in sooner rather than trying to glue it yourself. Skipping a fill for too long means more product, more time and a bigger bill when you do come back.

Booking at the Plantation salon

Appointments are recommended, and we accept walk-ins when there is room. Call 954-236-7922 to book. We are at 8151 W Sunrise Blvd in Plantation, with a parking lot on site. Walk-ins are welcome when there is room, but a booked time means a tech is ready and the wait is short.

Hours are Monday to Saturday 9:30 AM to 7:30 PM and Sunday 11 AM to 5 PM. If you are switching from another product or another salon, say so when you call so we can plan time for removal. Mention a trip, event or deadline too, so the tech can plan a shape that will hold up until then.

Getting an estimate before you sit down

The easiest way to avoid a surprise is to call ahead. Tell us the length and shape you want, if you have an existing set, and if you want any art. We can then tell you how long the visit will take and what the total is likely to be.

A photo helps. Bring one or two pictures of the shape and length you like, and note which nails have art. Even a rough idea lets the tech judge the work involved and tell you honestly if the shape is a lot of work.

If you already wear acrylic from another salon, say so. It may be a straight fill, or the shape may need rework or removal, which changes both the time and the price. Honest information up front means a fair quote and a set that comes out the way you pictured.

Questions guests ask

How much is an acrylic fill at Element?

A Color Acrylic Fill starts at $50 and takes about 60 minutes. The plus sign means a starting price, and length, shape, repairs or design can raise it. Call 954-236-7922 if you want a clearer estimate.

How often do acrylic nails need fills?

Most people come in every two to three weeks, as growth shows at the cuticle. Waiting longer can lead to lifting or cracks. Come in sooner if a nail breaks or an edge lifts.

Is a full set cheaper than a fill?

No. At Element, a Color Acrylic Full Set starts at $60 and a fill starts at $50. A full set builds every nail from scratch, while a fill rebuilds growth on an existing set.
