8 weeks ago I had acrylic nails done. I kept them on for about 6 weeks making sure to go in every two weeks to get them filed. After about 6 week I removed them myself because of drill burns, cuts, and horrible service from various nail techs. The entire experience was nightmare.
(salon#1) When the nails were originally put on the nail tech cut me and then started drilling my finger pretending not to notice the blood dripping from my hand. I had to literally scream to get this woman to stop drilling my bloody finger. Then this nasty person took the bloody drilling a placed it back in her drawer without cleaning it. The store manager assured me that he would have her sanitize the equipment before it was used on anyone else. I ended up leaving without my nails being completed. (salon #2) A few days later I went to another salon to have them finished.
(salon #2) Since this salon did a good job fixing the first salon's mess I returned here for my first filling, bad idea. At the first filling the nail tech gave me a very bad drill burn then she pretended she could speak English when I told her that she burnt me. A few days later I to return to the shop because the filling job she did fell off.
(salon #3) I had to find yet another salon for the third filling. After the tech claimed to be finished with my nails I noticed that the base of my nails was 1/3 inch high. I tried very nicely to explain to the tech that my nails need to be drilled and that the nail line was not natural looking. I looked like someone hit my fingers with a hammer. The more I explained the less he claimed to understand. Finally a nail tech comes over that speaks English and said the exact same thing I had been saying all along. So this jerk starts drilling my nails as if he is trying to hurt me. I lost it and I couldn’t believe the words that were coming out of my mouth. Another tech offered to fix my nails but by that time I was too pissed to have my nails done. I went home and removed them myself. No nails on earth are worth this kind of treatment, no thanks.
What shocks me about this entire nail saga is none of these nail tech cared about how they were treating their customer. I really felt like they saw me as a piece of meat with $25 bucks. I don’t understand why would you use a potentially dangerous piece of equipment on a person that you can't communicate with to determine if something is wrong? I guess I should have asked if the techs spoke English before I let them do my nails but I didn’t want offend anyone, I regret it now. This whole experience has been shocking and disgusting.
Since removing them I can't get any nail polish to adhere to my nails for longer than a few hours. Also, my nails are so weak that anything touching them hurts. There is no sign of infection and I don't think I have one but the slightest bump on my nails hurt. I'm really at a lost here this was the first time that I had fake nails so I don't know what I should expect after they were removed. Does anyone know why my nail polish won't stay on? Is there anything I need to do get my nails back to a healthy state?
Forgot:
My nails have a lot of dents, ridges and scratches.
Thanks
