Nail services in Tampere – which option is right for you?
Choosing the right nail service depends on many factors: the condition of your own nails, the desired result, length, and your lifestyle. Here we introduce our most popular services so you can choose the solution that is just right for you.
1. Gel polish – long-lasting color for your own nails
Gel polish is by far our most popular nail service, and for good reason. It is a modern alternative to traditional nail polish, offering nails a beautiful, glossy, and durable surface that does not chip. Gel polish is cured under a UV or LED lamp, making it instantly dry – you can dig your keys out of your bag immediately after the treatment without fear of ruining the polish.
Gel polish protects your own nail from the strain of everyday life and stays beautiful typically for 2–4 weeks. It is the perfect choice for you if you are happy with the length of your own nails but want durable and carefree polish.

2. Nail extensions – length, shape, and durability
When your own nails are too short, fragile, or you want a completely new shape for them (such as almond, stiletto, or ballerina), nail extensions are the right choice. In nail extensions, the length of the nail is extended using a form, and the nail is built from a durable mass.
We offer two different materials, both with their own strengths:
- Acrylic nails: Acrylic is the most traditional and highly durable material. It is often the best choice for people who naturally have a very oily nail plate or whose nails are subjected to heavy stress in everyday life.
- Gel nails: Gel extensions are more flexible than acrylic and often feel more natural. Gel is an odorless alternative (acrylic liquid often has a strong scent during application) and is very popular in modern nail styling.
Nail extensions require regular maintenance (infill) every 3–4 weeks so they stay beautiful and balanced as your own nail grows. Read more about the different options in our article nail extensions Tampere – acrylic and gel from a professional.
3. Classic manicure and nail care
Not everyone wants polish or extensions – sometimes just tidying up and care is enough. Classic manicure and professional nail care focus on the health of the nails and the skin of the hands. The service typically includes nail cutting and shaping, cuticle tidying, hand exfoliation, a relaxing hand massage, and a nourishing cream. The result is healthy, well-groomed hands that represent you well at work and in everyday life.
Material comparison: Gel polish vs. Nail extensions
Are you still unsure which is the better option for you? Here is a quick comparison:
- Length: Gel polish does not extend the nail. With extensions, the desired length and shape can be created for the nail.
- Durability: Nail extensions withstand harder mechanical stress and impacts better than gel polish.
- Thickness: Gel polish looks more natural and thinner. Nail extensions have a little more thickness to ensure sturdiness.
- Removal: Gel polish can be dissolved or gently filed off. Nail extensions require removal by a professional to prevent damage to the nail.
Nail care at home – how to extend the maintenance interval
Although the professional does the groundwork, the durability of the nails also depends on your home care routines. These tips from our cosmetologists help keep your nails beautiful in Tampere throughout the maintenance interval:
- Use cuticle oil daily: This is the most important rule! Cuticle oil keeps the nail and the surrounding skin flexible, which prevents the nail from peeling and the polish from chipping.
- Wear protective gloves: When doing chores, washing dishes, or using strong cleaning agents, put on rubber gloves. Water and chemicals are your nails' worst enemies.
- Do not use your nails as tools: Nails are not meant for peeling tape, opening cans, or scraping. Use proper tools!
- Follow the maintenance interval: Do not exceed the recommended maintenance interval (3–4 weeks for extensions, 2–4 weeks for gel polish). A nail that has grown too long loses its balance and can break painfully, damaging your own nail.
