It should NOT be painful to get your nails done! If it is hurting during the service or after find a different salon. I have all of my clients to their natural nails, they just have an overlay of either acrylic or gel. Nails is what I do, staying educated is important to me so I am sorry if this comes off as being mean. If you have any questions please by all means send me a pm.

I go to a Vietnamese nail salon. I have had my nails done for over 15 years and I always have to get them replaced. They use a white tip or a now a white powder that eventually grows out and needs to be replaced. I know it hurts like a mutha! Maybe it doesn't need to be done, maybe it's a money making scheme who knows. I have been to many nail salons and they always do this tho.
