    Is it my imagination or does it seem like there are more Chinese nail salons than there are people. They are popping up everywhere. Does anybody here go to them? My wife said that she does not trust them for proper hygiene.

    Acrylic nails are fugly. I keep my clean, fairly short, and trimmed. On occasion I use a pale nail polish but that's the extent of my fingernail grooming. All kinds of crap collect under those long, fake nails...eww.

    Nail salons aren't only for acrylic nails, they also provide manicures and pedicures.

    They are all over here too. Quite a few Vietnamese ones too.

    I stay far away from them and stick to my Day Spa for these services. Not because I have anything against other cultures but because I want to ensure that anyone working on my skin are using proper sterilization and hygiene practices. :) Also, a legitimate Day Spa aren't doing acrylic nails with their nasty smell.

    ** The acrylic nails having a nasty smell, not the people applying them. :D

    You're right; it can be an awesome experience for some. All those smells would have me on the floor with vertigo in a NY minute.

    I had acrylic nail for a while - bloody expensive and couldn't be fagged getting them refilled. The ruin your own nail underneath as well - they end up so weak it's terrible. Now I just grown my own, if they break well so be it - that's life.

    And that is exactly why I pay a little more to go to a high end place. Those infections can be quite serious.

    Sorry that you had to suffer through one xx
