What is it like to go to the beauty salon and get a full set of nails for the first time?

well i work at one. so you go in and they ask you if you want acrylic or gels. i would choose gels. they last longer and look better. then they start to perform a regular manicure, but rather than just puting polish on they cut all your nails off ( for the fake nails to be put on) then unpolish your nails (buff) them and apply the nails. now its not over yet. afterwards they put on a gel coat which need to be stuck under a uv machine to dry quickly. there are many layers put on to ensure the nails durabilty. afterwards its given one topcoat as sort of a ';stain'; to keep it shiny and protect the gel underneath. its also put under the uv machine to let dry. but be careful it still may be sticky. (btw some people can get a french or color, they would add it after the gel has dryed)


this is a pretty rough explanation, but go try it out. my shop is called Pretty Nails in Raleigh NC if you are ever there. good luck.What is it like to go to the beauty salon and get a full set of nails for the first time?

Depends, if you go somewhere Asian (not being racist) but SCARY. they talk in a different language, slap your hands, and are just kind of mean...lol. where i went they shouted at me when i couldnt find the sink with no directions, made my fingers bleed, and slapped my fingers down, whilst talking to eachother laughing at something, and the nails didnt even last very long. :(
Diana's answer EXACTLY. It hurts a little for the first few days, but you HAVE to fall in love with them! They, in a weird way, seem to eliminate the imperfections of fingers... if that makes sense.





But if you don't have them push your cuticles up, it is horrible.
Unless you have a lot of money, don't get this started. You have to pay to keep it up and they take your natural nails down really thin. It is not healthy for your nails.
I THINK ITS DIFFERENT FOR EVERONE CUZ WITH ME I WAS LIKE 12 AND MY NAILS FELT REALLY HOT AND A LITTLE SORE AND I HIT A LOT OF THINGS LIKE WITH THE NAILS BUT IDK IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT MAKE SURE THEY PUSH UP YOUR CUTICALS
