Acrylic Nails in Austin, TX: Compare Full Sets, Fills & Removal Prices
Acrylic nails in Austin, TX are extensions made from a powder and liquid mix that is shaped over the natural nail, giving length, strength, and a wide range of designs. Nail salons offer full sets in short, medium, and long lengths, fills every two to three weeks, refills, and removals or soak-offs. Clients on Ben White Boulevard, Airport Boulevard, and Shoal Creek Boulevard often compare salons before booking, since the length, the design, and whether a fill or full set is booked change the price. Booksy lets you check prices and appointment lengths, read client reviews and photos, and book your acrylic nails online in a few taps.
Full sets and length

A sale nail set is listed at $65 for 2 hours 30 minutes, and a French set from $50 for 1 hour 45 minutes. Ask the technician how long to make the nails, since longer sets take more product and time.
