Builder gel (often called BIAB) is a thicker gel brushed over the natural nail to strengthen it and add a little length.

How these salons are picked
We read the Google reviews on each salon's listing and kept the 4- and 5-star ones that mention builder gel. Salons with more of those reviews are listed first. Nobody pays to be listed.
We only see a few reviews per salon, so a salon missing here may still do builder gel. Prices are what reviewers say they paid, not a salon's menu, and each salon sets its own; a city gets its own range once 3 salons' reviews give a price. See all 148 nail salons in Washington.
