You may have some temporary damage to your nails when you have the acrylic nails removed, but just keep using lotion to keep your cuticle supple, and a nail strengthening polish on your nails as they will be pretty weak when the acrylics are removed and you should be fine.

Any kind of artificial nails can damage your real ones, just like dyeing your hair. They have to file down the top of your nails to get a rough surface; it helps the glue adhere better. But nails grow out fast, so don't worry too much about it. If you want to get it done, then do it.
You might want to consider gel nails instead of acrylics. They look more natural, last just as long, and don't damage your nails as much.

they basically extremely weaken your authentic nails. It takes about a month on occasion slightly longer once you get rid of the acrylics on your authentic ones to be back to widespread. the in hardship-free words time they extremely damage your nail is even as one receives ripped off, once you've an allergic reaction to the glue or in case you get a fungus at some grimy nail position. Yuck. besides wish that enables.

I have had them also...they dont damage your nails as as such, but you must go to a professional to have them removed properly...oh yeah word of advice, the equipment that some of them may use to actually smooth your nail, it's like sanding the nail, can sometimes weaken your own nail...so the decision is yours, but they do look lovely when there done.

Yes, they will damage your nails. All the machine filing weakens your nails and the acrylic weakens your nails.
I suggest you either do it an leave them on or don't do at all.

as long as you go to a reputable salon and have them removed at a salon as well there shouldn't be damage. but beware of the places that offer really cheap acrylics (like $30 and under) because they tend to use products of lesser quality and those alone can damage your nails.

not really!! i have had them done quite a few times! after you have the nails removed just give your own nails a good file, moisturise and put a good nail strengthener nail polish on and they should be right as rain after a few weeks!

no. just make sure they don't over file the top of your real nails to put them on and when you take them off, dissolve them in acetone - don't rip them off! After you remove them, condition your nails real well and cover with a good top coat until the filed or "roughened" area has grown out.

if you have them taken off by the Solon correctly they should not harm your nails. if you try to peel them off yourself, then you could do some damage.
