This salon removed my shellac nails with an electronic file and it completely destroyed my nails - for two weeks my nails were incredibly painful because the top layer of my nail had been removed and then for the past two months my nails have been cracked and splitting. I haven’t been able to have a shellac since because my nails have been so weak - application of shellac was fine but the removal has really damaged my nails. They are only just starting to recover now two months later.
the wax was OK but there were still a good few hairs left and the beautician pulled the wax slowly which I think made the hairs break rather than be pulled out.
