Offering professional nail extensions, artificial nails, gel and polygel applications in Galata and Beyoğlu with a personalised approach, Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU brings together aesthetic design with the right technique, carefully chosen materials and high hygiene standards.
For us, a successful nail extension is not just about making the nails look longer. It is equally important to create a design that suits the natural nail structure, complements the overall look of the hands and is comfortable for everyday life.
That is why, instead of starting every treatment with a standard method, we first assess the structure of your natural nails, the characteristics of your nail bed, their current length and your daily habits.
Our professional nail artists choose the techniques that suit your needs from gel, polygel, tips and special form systems to create the length and shape you want.
For people whose hands sweat heavily or tend to be damp, how well products adhere to the nail surface can vary. In such cases, nail preparation, choice of materials and application stages are re-planned according to individual needs.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, our priority is not only to give your nails an aesthetic look, but to provide professional treatments that suit your natural structure, are comfortable and can be worn for a long time.
Nail extension is a professional nail treatment that creates new length beyond the natural edge of the nail. During the procedure, special products suited to the nail structure and the chosen style are used to achieve the desired length, shape and surface finish.
Different extension methods can be used to give short nails a longer shape, change the look of the nails or create a suitable surface for detailed nail art designs.
The techniques used for artificial nails vary depending on the current condition of the natural nail. Ready-made extension pieces are preferred for some nails, while for others length can be created with builder gel, polygel or special form systems.
Nail extensions are not the same as gel polish. Gel polish adds colour and shine to the existing nail surface, while a nail extension adds new length to the natural nail.
Which method will be used is decided by our professional nail artists, taking into account your natural nail structure and the design you want.
There is no single method for nail extensions. The technique is chosen according to the length of the natural nail, its surface characteristics, the desired shape and the structure the design requires.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, we use professional extension techniques suited to different nail structures.
Nail extensions with tips is a method in which ready-made extension pieces, selected to fit the natural nail, are attached.
Once properly secured, the tips are reinforced with the materials required by the system being used, and the desired length and nail shape are created.
This method may be preferred for lengthening short nails, giving them a particular shape and preparing them for different designs.
In gel nail extensions, new length and shape are created with special builder gel products applied over the natural nail.
The gel is applied in line with the nail structure and cured under a UV/LED lamp. The nail surface and length are then refined with the necessary shaping.
This technique is one of the professional methods to consider for those who want a natural-looking, aesthetic nail structure.
Polygel is a special nail material that combines some of the application properties of gel and acrylic systems and can be shaped in a controlled way.
During application, the product is shaped to suit the natural nail structure and the desired length. Where necessary, it is used together with special form systems.
Polygel can be used to create various nail lengths and styles. The amount of product, the form and the application technique are determined according to individual needs.
The top form technique, known as Dual Form, uses special forms that match the nail shape to be created.
Builder materials such as gel or polygel are shaped using the form and placed onto the natural nail.
Once the product has properly cured, the form is removed. The length, surface and edges of the nail are then refined to create the final look.
In the bottom form method, a suitable extension template is placed under the free edge of the natural nail.
Gel or a suitable builder material is shaped on the template to create new length as a continuation of the natural nail.
After the product has cured, the template is removed and the nail is given its final desired shape.
Each extension method has different application characteristics. That is why the technique to be used is determined by our professional team based on the current structure of your nails and your expectations.
In nail extensions, choosing the shape is as important as the length. The right shape not only complements the overall look of the hands but also affects comfort in everyday use.
Different nail shapes such as almond, oval, square, soft square, coffin and stiletto can be applied depending on your personal style and preferred length.
The width of the nail bed, the structure of the natural nail, the appearance of the fingers and daily habits are factors we take into account when choosing a style.
For example, shorter, easy-to-wear styles may be more suitable for people who type a lot during the day, work intensively with their hands or are getting nail extensions for the first time.
For clients who want longer, more striking nails or nails suited to special designs, different length options can be planned after assessing the condition of the natural nail.
Our professional nail artists review the reference style you like and help you create a design that suits your nail structure and daily habits.
Although nail extensions, gel overlays and gel polish are sometimes confused with each other, they are different treatments in terms of purpose.
A nail extension adds extra length to the existing length of the natural nail. Tips, gel, polygel and special form systems can be used for this.
A gel overlay is the application of a suitable gel material to the existing nail surface without changing the length of the natural nail. It may be chosen to reinforce the nail surface, create a smoother look and achieve an aesthetic coating.
Gel polish is a treatment that gives the nail colour and shine. It is applied to the natural nail and does not lengthen the nail on its own.
Which treatment to choose does not depend solely on the desired look. The current condition of the natural nails, daily habits and the design to be applied should also be considered.
That is why our professional team examines your nails before the treatment and informs you about the suitable options.
One of the key factors affecting the longevity of nail extensions is that the material used suits the natural nail structure.
Every client’s nail surface, moisture balance, natural nail structure and daily habits are different. For this reason, using the same products and techniques on every nail may not always be appropriate.
For people whose hands sweat heavily or tend to be damp, how well products adhere to the nail surface can vary.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, we assess the current condition of your nails before the treatment and choose the materials and nail preparation techniques based on this assessment.
Where necessary, we make individual adjustments to the choice of products, preparation stages and application methods.
With this approach, we focus not only on the aesthetic result after the treatment but also on the durability of the application and your comfort while wearing it.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, we consider hygiene and sterilisation to be a fundamental part of our professional service.
In our doctor-supervised working environment, the reusable metal instruments used in nail treatments are properly sterilised in professional autoclave devices, the same type used in surgical settings.
Once sterilised, our instruments are stored in special sterilisation pouches. For each client, a new sterile pouch is opened and the prepared instruments are used.
Our disposable materials are always new and unused for every client.
With this system, we aim to maintain hygiene throughout the treatment, ensure that instruments are prepared under proper conditions and offer a professional service environment that our clients can trust.
For us, a quality nail treatment is not just about the aesthetic result. Hygiene, the right choice of materials, professional application and client comfort are inseparable parts of our service.
Regular maintenance after nail extensions is important both to preserve the look of the nails and to monitor the condition of the natural nails.
Since the natural nails keep growing, a gap may form at the base of the nails over time. This can affect the balance of the material used and the overall look of the nails.
For this reason, we generally recommend a maintenance appointment every 3–4 weeks, depending on the growth rate of the natural nail, the product used and daily habits.
During maintenance, the existing product is assessed, the necessary corrections are made, and the length and shape of the nail can be refined again.
Removing nail extension products may also require different methods depending on the material used.
Some products are removed by controlled professional filing, while other materials are taken off with suitable removal techniques.
Pulling, prying or peeling products off the natural nail is not recommended, as it can damage the nail surface.
To help your nails last longer, we recommend not putting pressure on them against hard surfaces, not using them as tools to open boxes or lids, and wearing gloves when using cleaning products.
At Beyoğlu Aesthetic & Nail Art Studio by DRTU, we take appointments for professional nail extensions, artificial nails, gel, polygel and personalised nail art in Galata and Beyoğlu.Since every client’s natural nail structure and preferred design are different, we plan each treatment according to individual needs.
Nail extension prices may vary depending on the method used, the preferred length, the materials, the details of the design and any additional services.

Different materials and techniques such as builder gel, polygel, Dual Form (top form) or templates (bottom form) may be used.

Maintenance is generally recommended every 3–4 weeks for nail extensions.
However, since every client's natural nail growth rate and daily habits are different, the maintenance interval may vary from person to person.
As the nail grows, the gaps that form at the base and the current condition of the product are assessed and the necessary adjustments are made.
Regular maintenance helps preserve the shape and aesthetic look of the nails.

With proper wear and regular maintenance, professional nail extensions can generally keep their aesthetic look for 3–4 weeks.
This does not mean the product must be completely removed after this period. As the natural nail grows, maintenance and the necessary adjustments can be carried out at the base.
The durability of the treatment may vary depending on the material used, the natural nail structure, the moisture balance of the hands and daily habits.
