BIAB Manicure in Kerobokan
Strengthening builder gel over natural nails. Includes dry manicure and cuticle care.
Not sure? Message LinaBIAB stands for builder in a bottle. It is a builder gel applied as an overlay across your natural nail, adding strength without adding length. If your nails split, peel or bend before they get anywhere near the length you want, this is the service that fixes it.

What BIAB Costs in Kerobokan
Pricing in Bali varies more than it should, and BIAB is sometimes quoted as a budget add-on and other times priced like a luxury treatment. At Lollygagss the price is set where the work sits: a proper builder application with a dry manicure and cuticle care, finished in the colour of your choice.
A full BIAB Manicure is Rp 325.000. There are no surprise extras for the standard service. If you want nail art on top of your BIAB, that is priced separately and I am happy to quote it before you commit.
02
How BIAB Differs From a Gel Manicure
A gel manicure is colour. It looks good for two to three weeks and then comes off. It does nothing structural.
BIAB is a structure that colour sits on top of. It typically lasts three to four weeks and, more usefully, it protects the nail underneath while it grows. Most clients who come in for BIAB are not chasing a look, they are trying to stop breaking nails.
If you only want colour and your nails are already strong, a Gel Manicure at Rp 195.000 is the better use of your money and I will tell you so.
03
What About Extensions
Gel Tip Extensions add length using a tip. BIAB does not add length. Same price, entirely different job. If you want longer nails now rather than in three months, extensions are the answer.
04
Upkeep
Come back every three to four weeks. At that appointment the overlay is filed back and rebalanced rather than removed, so the natural nail underneath keeps growing undisturbed.
05
Adding Nail Art
Any nail art tier can be added on top of BIAB, from Rp 60.000 for dots and lines through to Rp 400.000 for hand-painted 3D work. All nail art prices are starting prices. Bring a reference photo or send one ahead on WhatsApp.
Why Clients Choose Lollygagss for BIAB
Lollygagss Studio sits on Jl. Persada II, just off Teuku Umar Barat in Kerobokan Kelod. It is a quiet side street rather than a busy main road, which is part of the point. You are not walking into a high-turnover salon with five chairs going at once. It is a small studio where the appointment is yours.
I am the owner and the only technician, so there is no rotation, no being handed to a junior halfway through, and no pressure to add things you did not come in for. You book with me, and I am the one who does your nails from start to finish. I take one client at a time in a calm, clean space, so your appointment is unhurried and the prep is done properly. With BIAB in particular, careful prep is most of what decides how long it lasts, and that is exactly the part a busy salon tends to rush.
"The nail art is absolutely beautiful and neatly done, just like I wanted. The owner is also super kind and pays great attention to detail."
Dwi Madame · View on Google →One honest note on booking: because every set is done by me personally, I only take a limited number of appointments a day. Booking ahead is the safest way to get the time you want, especially on weekends.
Getting to the Studio
Bali is small, and Teuku Umar is well connected, so most clients reach us in under twenty minutes. Here is roughly what to expect from the nearby areas, traffic depending.
If you would rather not travel, we also offer home service for clients staying nearby. If you are in a villa around Seminyak or Kerobokan and would prefer your appointment to come to you, message us on WhatsApp to check availability for your dates.
Before Your Appointment
A few small things help you get the best result.
- Come with bare nails if you can, or let us know in advance if you have an existing set that needs removing.
- If you have a colour or look in mind, a screenshot is the easiest way to show it. If not, that is fine too.
- Plan to rebook every three to four weeks as the nail grows, rather than waiting until there is obvious lifting.
- Mention any history of lifting or weak nails so the prep can be adjusted to suit them.
