What is BIAB?
BIAB means Builder in a Bottle. It is a builder gel overlay that adds structure and strength while keeping the look and feel of natural nails. Our BIAB service includes gel colour and typically lasts three to four weeks, depending on nail growth, daily activity and aftercare.
BIAB can be a good choice if your natural nails bend, split or break easily, or if you want to grow them while maintaining a neat, polished finish. Your artist will assess your nails before application and recommend the most suitable shape and length.
What your Ao Nang BIAB appointment includes
- Nail preparation and cuticle care
- Builder gel overlay shaped to support the natural nail
- Gel colour included in the full-set price
- Finish and aftercare advice from your nail artist
Existing gel or BIAB removal, detailed nail art, repairs and extensions may require extra time and can change the final price. Add these details to your booking note so the salon can prepare.
BIAB refill and aftercare
Most guests return after three to four weeks for a builder gel refill. Book sooner if you notice lifting or a damaged nail. Avoid peeling or picking the product off, because that can remove layers of the natural nail. Use cuticle oil regularly and wear gloves for prolonged cleaning or chemical exposure.
