I got my nails done at a home salon, and when she was filing the acrylic down the sides of my nails, it was super painful and started to bleed on 2 fingers, so I asked her to stop. Low and behold, after further inspection, I realized she had literally filed through my nail! There was a raw hole (with now dried blood!) about a millimetre off the cuticle on one finger and the other finger just lacked nail plate for about a millimetre off the cuticle. The exposed nail plate on the finger with the hole is also paper-thin. No wonder it hurt so bad! I requested that she leave those areas alone when applying the gel polish afterwards. She did so and gave me a $5 discount, but I am concerned with infection as her "home salon" isn't the most sanitary, she isn't very qualified, etc. It was my first time coming to her salon. I have been putting Neosporin and bandages on the 2 fingers, but they hurt like hell! I am praying that they grow out and now know not to visit her salon again! Any advice on what to do in this situation would be very appreciated! Lowkey freaking out!
