Julie,
This is a really challenging question. I would ask around and your friends. What salons do they like? What do they like about them? What do they not like about them. If you ask enough, you’ll start to hear 1 or 2 names pop up more often. You are also allowed to go in and sit in the waiting area. Just watch the salon. How does everything look? How does everyone behave? Does it look like they’re bringing out sanitary tools with each new customer? Do they clean things after each service? Rely on your gut feelings/intuition to talk to you. ~Ana

I very rarely go to a nail salon at all, and when I do I don’t ever get manicures, because of the horrors I read and hear about. However I would like to go to the salon sometimes for pampering and nail art. Is there a way to find professionals that do things right? I don’t want to walk into every salon in my area and quiz the techs, if you know what I mean.

Great question. I can see that the glue basecoat method might not be damaging because it doesn’t make a very strong bond. I personally haven’t tried it.

My education says that peeling off nail polish is going to result in the damage in Image #1. A product that creates a strong bond like nail polish needs to be dissolved.

Polish certainly creates a weaker bond than gel, but pulling nail polish off the nail is going to lift some of those top keratin layers, making the nail feel a little bumpy.

I think I will do an article on this topic. Thanks! ~Ana
