I live in the USA and have gone to many many nail salons before being so fed up and deciding to go to school to get my license. I have been reading salon geek for awhile now and have noticed that all the geeks from over seas seem to be gentler and looks out for the health of the natural nail. I guess where I am going with this is last week I went with a friend to a higher end salon so she could get gel nails and I noticed a ton of mistakes this person was making first off every nail tech i have seen feels the need to file layers off the natural nail to prep. It doesn't matter if you are getting acrylic, gel, shellac or soak of gel polish. Next is they seem to either make the tips to wide or file half your free edge off. So I was asking this person where they got their training at and if they had to do a conversion course to use the brand of gel he was using. And he looked at me and was like I'm confused what do you mean?????? are you kidding me. Than I asked why he was filing the nail plate so much. Well the product won't stick unless you. Hello????!!!!??? I know I have not graduated yet but come on I feel like I know more than everyone that is qualified and how on earth do these people pass their state boards doing services like these.
Sorry for the rant I just get so annoyed that people continue ruining nails and are uneducated.
