SK Allure Experience

Located inside Rosegold Beauty Bar on East Berkley Avenue in Norfolk, the business is built around full nail sets in acrylic or gel. Lengths run from short to extra-extra-long, with prices starting at $65 for a short set. Listed appointment times range from about 105 minutes for shorter sets to about 210 minutes for the dramatic XL length, which includes nail prep, cuticle care and detailed shaping.

Fills come in two types: a two-week acrylic fill and a four-week-plus rebalance. Builder gel sets and gel fill-ins are also available. Nail art is sorted into three tiers, from simple accents on up to four nails, through classic French, airbrush, ombre or mixed-media work on up to ten nails, to custom 3D gel sculpting, heavy crystal placement and themed sets. For clients who would rather not choose, a freestyle service lets the technician pick the design, and may offer three options to choose from.

Appointments are held Tuesday through Saturday, 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Arrivals get a 10-minute grace period; later arrivals pay a $15 late fee added to the service, and arrivals more than 15 minutes late may be treated as no-shows. Cancellations or reschedules need at least 24 hours' notice, with less notice charged 35% of the reserved amount and no-shows charged the full amount. A $25 deposit applies to builder gel full sets, builder gel fill-ins, and acrylic fill-ins.
