Gel nails and Japanese manicure in Tallinn: how to choose and prices

If your natural nails split easily or you are taking a break from colour coatings, you have two distinct options: sculpted gel nails for added length and structure, or a P.Shine Japanese manicure to nourish the natural nail plate. Below we explain how each treatment works, which one suits your hands best and what they cost at our T1 Mall salon.

Gel nail extensions and maintenance (S, M, L)

Gel nails are the right choice when you want extra length, a crisp shape (almond, oval, square or soft square) and durability that holds for 3–4 weeks. Builder gel creates a balanced apex and structure so even longer nails withstand daily wear.

At Ketyswit, gel nail extensions and maintenance are priced transparently by length:

  • Length S (0.5–1): extensions 55–65 € · maintenance (refill) 50 €
  • Length M (1.5–2.5): extensions 65–75 € · maintenance (refill) 55 €
  • Length L (3–3.5): extensions 75–85 € · maintenance (refill) 60 €

A full new set takes around 3 hours 15 minutes, and a maintenance appointment takes around 2 hours. If you are happy with your natural length and simply want lasting colour, see our guide to gel-polish manicure (40 €).

What is a Japanese manicure (P.Shine)?

A Japanese manicure (40 €, duration 1 hour 15 minutes) is a restorative treatment for natural nails with no UV lamp or synthetic coating. A mineral-rich paste containing silica, keratin and vitamins is buffed into the nail plate and sealed with beeswax powder.

  1. Shaping and cuticle care. The nails are filed evenly and the cuticles are gently tidied.
  2. Mineral paste application. Using a chamois buffer, the technician works the nourishing paste into micro-ridges in the nail plate.
  3. Beeswax powder seal. A second buffer locks in the nutrients and leaves a natural pearl gloss that never chips and grows out with the nail.

Japanese manicure is ideal right after removing gel polish or extensions, or whenever you prefer healthy, naturally glossy nails without colour lacquer.

Which option should you pick?

  • Pick gel nails (50–85 €) if you want added length, shape correction or extra strength.
  • Pick a manicure with gel polish (40 €) if your natural length is fine and you want 3 weeks of colour.
  • Pick a Japanese manicure (40 €) or a classic manicure without polish (30 €) if you want to restore the natural nail plate.

Frequently asked questions

How often do gel nails need maintenance?

We recommend booking gel nail maintenance every 3–4 weeks so the apex stays balanced and the nails do not lift or snap.

How long does the shine of a Japanese manicure last?

The beeswax and mineral seal stays glossy for 2–3 weeks and never peels. For full recovery after gel, a course of 3–4 sessions every 2–3 weeks works best.

How much does repairing a single broken nail cost?

A single nail repair costs 5–7 € (around 30 minutes), and nail design is +2–10 €.
