2024.05.17 01:04 kimbapkoala Bad Nail Salon Experience
Yesterday, I had the worst nail salon experience thus far. I have a hard time speaking up and I am trying to take this as a learning lesson. submitted by kimbapkoala to Winnipeg [link] [comments] I had Acrylic nails done on a place at McPhillips on April 15th and they lasted the whole month. I decided it was finally time for a new set. I decided to try a new place closer to home. I’ll leave the place nameless because I don’t know if I feel comfortable exposing the name. The reviews were good, so I booked an appointment after work and made my way there. The ladies were nice as they welcomed me into the salon. We’ll call them Lady A & Lady B. I arrived at the salon at 5pm. I was seated at a chair and Lady A asked what I wanted. I had grown my natural nail out under the Acrylics I had, so I requested we start with an Acrylic removal, but I requested to keep my natural nail long so I could grow it out. If my natural nails were good, I would get gel,and if they weren’t I would get acrylics again. Here’s where things started to go wrong… Lady A seemed confused why I wanted a removal because the Acrylics I had were still good. I told her I use a keyboard for work & need my nails shorter. She seemed kind of inconvenienced/annoyed by an Acrylic removal. She cut my acrylics, along with my natural nails despite me asking to see how they look first incase I wanted gel instead. My nails and fingers were soaked in bowls of acetone. The smell was strong, and my fingers started to feel weird, but “this is the process” I thought. It took an hour of Lady A scraping the remaining Acrylic, back to soaking, and scraping again. Finally we got to gluing new acrylics on. Lady A buffed and filed the shape on one hand, while Lady B filed and shaped on the other.. They were not exactly the same. I was assured it would be re-shaped again when the acrylic powder was put on. They BUFFED my nails…and my poor cuticles. It was like sandpaper on my cuticles. I kept flinching. Lady A had this thin metal drill and went underneath the acrylic to even things out, but there was a few instances where she went too deep and went under my natural nail. I should have said something then. Here where I was confused, as my old salon would already have acrylic colour powder- but Lady A told me she was going to put a clear Acrylic powder & THEN do coats of shellac paint. (Looking back, I feel like it’s just a way to have a customer pay for 2 services…) As Lady A began placing the acrylic powder, I could tell she was more inexperienced/not good at applying the powder in contrast to my other salon at McPhillips. This whole process of applying acrylic powder, buffing, and reshaping took ANOTHER hour. They kept wiping my nails with rubbing alcohol and it burned my cuticles so bad 😭 I couldn’t speak the language, but I heard the word “crooked”,and could feel as though Lady B was hesitating on my nails. Lady B then took over to paint my nails and it took until closing for them to finally finish. Reminder, I arrived at 5pm. They close at 8. 3 hours for nails is kind of ridiculous. They even took a picture of my nails for their salon..but my nails are not good and cuticles were bleeding, I’m surprised they even wanted a picture. My total was $98 something without tip. I tipped $5 because I took up a lot of their time because I felt bad. This is a people pleasing tendency I need to stop ): As soon as I got home I washed my hands. They sting when I get them wet. It’s been a day later and I’m worried if I’ll get an infection from them leaving my cuticles RAW with the tools they used. This acrylic is AWFUL, BUMPY, and NOT worth $98 dollars. I’m hesitating requesting a refund. They are okay from a DISTANCE but in this economy when i’m paying this much, my nails should be perfect ): The pictures don’t even do justice with how bad they are. I’m so mad at myself |

Some highlights: submitted by PopcornIntensifies to LetsTalkBam [link] [comments] Bam has an infected middle finger from painting his nails when he had a broken cuticle (?). Bam is good with all the Jackass guys except Tremaine and Knoxville who are poison cocksuckers ofc. Bam tried to rant about the UK tour being cancelled and SQ cut him off and paused the live. SQ doesn’t read or look at Reddit but she “sees” everything on this sub but she doesn’t care and it doesn’t affect her. She has lots of friends but just doesn’t talk about them. She’s not thirsty. She loves the nick name “stretch” bc that’s what she was called as a child. “Skeletor” doesn’t bother her bc she was called “Sasquatch” as a kid for being tall. Please add anything I missed. https://preview.redd.it/12pnexk90wzc1.jpg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d1e19ce69b02ea39b49ebe1e386d09c071270b6 https://preview.redd.it/ukkfi0ca0wzc1.jpg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f0d93554793af8d89ecfacda0b32321c9ddfb56 https://preview.redd.it/lezurxxa0wzc1.jpg?width=1178&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13b942021191face12aeb96623bb3b629c0258bc |

2024.05.09 15:05 life-of-lore We have lift off (😭)
I am beyond disappointed to see another one of my nails has lifted...I have been treating all my fingernails for with Efinaconazole 10% (pictured) for 6+ months in case it's a fungal infection, my doctor doesn't want to give me the oral medication... I have a dermatologist appointment pending, waitlist is 12 months...I suspect I may have psoriasis, I have joint pain, pitted nails, and what I thought was excema (mostly on my hands). I also tried my nails (over and under) with cuticle oil, always keeping the nails clean and dry. My wedding is coming up in four months...I'm desperate for any solution while I wait for my medical system to catch up. submitted by life-of-lore to DermatologyQuestions [link] [comments] |

2024.05.04 19:33 Limp_Telephone2280 Attempted to do my nails again and it’s getting better. Need to work on trying to not get it all over my fingers, and figure out how to paint with my non dominant hand. Advice is appreciated
I did 2 base coats, 2 coats of color, and 2 top coats. I figured out that using a lot of the polish and spreading it out with 1-2 strokes makes it more smooth and less clumpy. Also tried using Elmer’s glue around the nail which worked decently but it’s still a bit messy. submitted by Limp_Telephone2280 to malepolish [link] [comments] Using my left hand to paint my right hand is a pain lol. Also need to clean it up. I’ve learned that it’s better to leave it all messy for the night then scrub it off of my fingers while in the shower. Also- Cuticle stuff. I’m scared of doing something wrong and getting an infection or hurting myself so I’m fine with my cuticles looking messy for now. |

It is also important to avoid using any harsh chemicals or solvents on your nails that can damage the acrylic surface.What is the difference between Black Acrylic Nails and other types of fake nails?The main difference between black acrylic nails and other types of fake nails is the material they are made from.

2024.04.20 06:46 IllustriousKey599 Podiatry: Nail bed injury from too small shoes
2024.04.18 11:15 raygirll I need to think of questions to ask my Dr.!
This is my first time posting. I also apologize in advance for having a longish post. submitted by raygirll to Autoimmune [link] [comments] About 4 weeks ago I found out that I have dermatomyositis. Since 2016 (or at least that’s when I first remember noticing) I’ve had brownish spots on the cuticles of my fingernails. It’s progressively gotten worse over the years. They’re now very swollen, painful, and red. (See pictures. First four are from today, the rest are from various times). In 2020 I first remember noticing red spots on my hands that have basically stayed the same. I had seen 3 different providers and showed them my hands and none of them seemed concerned, but they all said something different about what it could be. I finally decided to go to a dermatologist because I was tired of having ugly hands but honestly wasn’t that concerned. At my first appt he mentioned he thought I could have dermatomyositis and sent me for blood work. 3 weeks later I did more blood work and had two biopsies taken from my hands. 2 weeks later for my third visit he told me the blood work showed I have dermatomyositis. I’m going back to see him Thursday, and he specifically told me to think of questions to ask him. I have thought of a few but I feel like I need more. What are some questions I should ask my Dr.?? I honestly feel kind of lost and don’t want to miss the chance to ask some good questions. My Dr. scheduled me for a 45+ minute appt so we can go over lots of things and so that I have time for questions. I went to the dermatologist honestly expecting him to say I had an infection or something in my cuticles and was just so surprised and shocked to find out that I have an autoimmune disease. Also, is it just me or have I been seeing a lot of posts about dermatomyositis lately? |

2 years ago after mani in salon my cuticle on big finger began to ich. I used cuticle oil first but it didn't help. It began to progress and spread to the back of the finger. Literally 3 months ago I was doing a manicure at home and cut a little too much cuticle and it showed up on 2 other fingers. I took tests and no fungal infections were found, and 3 different dermatologists gave me different diagnoses. Treatment for eczema did not help.
