I have never had this problem before and have been wearing these type nails for 15 or more years. Yesterday I had my nails done at one of the cheap "Vietnamese" salons. After the tech applied the acrylic and began using the drill to file, smooth, and buff my nails, they burned like they were on fire the entire time. It did not stop util the tech got completely finished with the process. They are not hurting or sore now and they do not burn anymore. What caused this and is this normal? Should it happen when I get my nails done?

well. not all "vietnamese" as you put it are cheap.. you`ll never know.. some other race might own it too... but i know what is your problem is.. 1. since you have been getting acrylic for so long.. you might have encounter thin nails underneath that acrylic.. to keep healthy nails.. you would sometimes need to let it "breath". i know that its hard to let your beautiful nail go.. but sometimes you would have to make sacraface..because everytime you get it redone.. they would have to drill it some so the acrylic can hold. 2. they had put too much primer on it... did u notice that everytime you get refills.. they would drill it out then apply a wet coat of primer on where it needs to be filled.. primer is not a bad thing.. it destroys all the bacteria around your nails and nail's bed.. its not because of hard buffing or filing... its because of thin nails and primer... my advice.. go somewhere else.... just go to a place where there are bright areas clean looking and a full set cost more than 20. and also pedicures costs more than 25$ hehe...

There is not supposed to be any pain involved when getting acrylics done. You shouldn't go back to that place, or any cheap place for that matter. Any place who's acrylics cost $20 and less are probably using harmful chemicals that will inevitabely kill your nails in the long run. Having had your nails done for 15+ years, I'm sure you know what I am talking about--so I'm not going to waste time explaining something you probably know very well. Good luck and take care of your nails.

I have been getting my nails done for years and have encountered burning as well and found every time this happens they are 1) not paying totally attention, 2) not focused, or 3) filing or buffing too fast! Thais isn't healthy or pleasant for you nor your nails. I would definitely bring the problem to their knowledge. I do not feel the inexpensive way to go is always the wrong way because 9 of 10 times vendors usually boost their price up to make an profit as well. (overly charging) In the end it is really up to you to make sure you get the full benefit by making sure your health isn't taken for granted as requested by health regulations.

i have had that b4 i hate it i think it has something to do with the glue stuff getting on the skin at the tip of ur nail and the vibrations from the drill file yanking at the skin im not sure tho just a guess

why did you quote "vietnamese" ? you know most of the salons are owned by vietnamese? anyways. the person probably drilled too deep.
