The service menu at 1904 Nails is comprehensive, catering to a wide range of needs and desires, all performed with precision and artistic flair. For those seeking a classic, vibrant look, the **Gel Manicure** offers a long-lasting, chip-resistant finish in a myriad of colors. If natural nail strength and growth are a priority, the **BIAB (Builder Gel) Manicure** is an excellent choice, providing a protective layer that helps reinforce your natural nails while still allowing for a beautiful gel color application.
For clients dreaming of added length and durability, 1904 Nails excels in **Sculptured Extensions**. Using polygel, a cutting-edge hybrid product that combines the best qualities of both acrylic and gel polish, Summer meticulously hand-sculpts extensions that are both strong and flexible.

Summer ensures these removals are performed safely and effectively, minimizing damage to your natural nails.
For those who love to express themselves through their nails, the **Add Ons** menu is a treasure trove of possibilities.
