Sorry Mui, I see your point.
I guess none of us can be 100% unless we know what to look out for. Basically the topic of MMA came up on my course & my tutor warned us of several nail bars currently using the product. I personally would have not known all the tell tale signs but I learn something new every day.
Well my hairdresser, several of her friends & a few others I know have been & some unfortunately still do go to one of the bars local to me. A full set can be applied & finished in 45-50 mins & they take forever to get off.
They rarely suggest soaking off after XXX weeks, but simply infill or rebalance & paint.......infill & paint etc etc .
If this is not typical MMA usage then I duly appologise for making such an assumption & will recommend the salon but from local talk & tutor knowledge I think I am right to be concerned.

Thank you for your post i am like you i want to learn about every thing that is why i ask .
To miss nail pro
Thank you for your post i will make note from all your post and i will look at every thing you speak about on your web site i am happy i find this .
I can not speak for America or England or any other country but what i can do is speak for Thailand because this is my country .
When i do my writing i can not use the wearing of mask because many techs use a mask as they do all over asia this is because of some things some of us we do not like any dust even a little bit and we do not like the smell of any liquid our smell is maybe different to another country for any body that has visit Bangkok our tuk tuk taxi drivers wear mask no mma
.
Cheap how cheap is cheap in my own country we have people have salary some 100 baht for 1 day about 2.5 dollars a good job in a hotel you can have 200 baht for 1 day 5 usa dollars if some girl learns nail and the product cost 5 dollars to make the enhancement she can work for 7 dollars BUT we do not because we try to get back some of the big money that have have put into education
and we feel we are doing a good job and want to have a profit for our work and education But i am doing nails this month and maybe next month for 500 baht 12 usa dollars i would die if some one thinks in another country i am using mma because i am cheaper i am doing this price to pay every thing and try save a little bit .
Enhancement is hard to remove if a tech rough the natural nail plate hard and use primer and heavy on making the enhancement i think but do not know if this nail enhancement would be harder to take off then if a nail tech is well trained and makes the nail with a primerless liquid and good prep i think it will be harder to remove .
Containers with no lables because some salons buy there powders in 8 oz containers and 8 oz or bigger liquids most techs will put into smaller containers i am different i have my origional containers on my nail table but we could never say in my country that this is a way to see if a salon is using mma with unlabled containers .
You as a nail tech are years in front of me and i can only hope one day that i will have the knowledge that you have i have just put to you only what i think in my country .
After my one year of study and looking to see how we can realy tell if a salon is use mma there is only one way and that is to test the liquid .
Thank you for all the other education in your post it is every thing i was looking for .
This is what i think .
Thank you mui
