Hi all! I’ve been getting BIAB nails for years now, but unfortunately the lovely lady who’s been doing them the past while has cut her hours and I cant go to her anymore.

I went to a new (very cheap) salon near me and didnt have a great experience. The usual spots in town (trop pop etc) are charging upward of 60 quid for basic refills these days which I think is crazy!

I know you get what you pay for with these things but if anyone has any recommendations for a decent technician/salon (preferably dublin 1/2/7) I’d be grateful to hear about them.

  • Mint on Richmond street, Dublin 2 is cheap and cheerful. There are a few Mint salons around but I can really vouch for this one especially.

  • Might not be ideal location wise but Castle Nails in artane do BIAB for €48 and they’re very good, never any issues

  • Unrelated question but when you get biab and they grow out are they supposed to just fill in the gap bit? I thought that's what was gonna happen but then she took them off completely and redid them? Only my second time ever getting them done & refilled not sure what to expect?

    In my experience they file them down to even out the surface where the biab meets your regrowth, then apply more biab on top

  • D2 salon! Hogans place, just around from holles street. I get biab here, daughter gets acrylics, and if you splurge get a full pedi, staff are amazing.

  • Gg nails in Smithfield!

    Edit: looks like she moved to Capel st

    How much for biab/refills?

  • Take Time at Harts Corner Phibsborough do Biab refill for 40 with colour on top.
