Can the tech's at the nail salon take off your old acrylic nails and put new one's on?

just let me know.Can the tech's at the nail salon take off your old acrylic nails and put new one's on?
Please don't 'pry' the nails off using another nail tip - yes it is quicker, but you'll end up needing to wear false nails all the time because your natural nails will be too thin to do anything with! Buy a nail varnish remover with acetone in it (or 100% acetone - you should be able to get it at a chemists) and soak them off yourself, using a file in between soaks. Alternatively, pay to get them removed at a salon (cause they will do this) watch how it's done, and then you'll be able to do it yourself next time!Can the tech's at the nail salon take off your old acrylic nails and put new one's on?
YES - definitely
Yes, they can. And I would suggest getting gel instead of acrylic. It looks better and in my opinion its a little easier on the nails. When you get them redone, you should only need an overlay, I would also suggest getting pink. When you refill with pink it hides the demarcation marks of your previous fill. Good luck, I prefer for them to take them off by applying a nail tip under the acrylic and prying the acrylic off...it is very painful but a lot quicker than soaking. If your nail tech is not familiar with that method, avoid it. and just use the soaking and drilling method. Be sure to tell them you want to preserve your nails.
yeah but it takes longer and they may charge more, you can do it at home but steeping the nails in a bowl with nail varnish remover
Yes, when I was trained some 15 years ago, we were taught to remove any acrylic over three months old and replace it. They will charge about a tenner to do this, but it can be done. These days, acrylic does not need to be replaced unless you want it done.
Yes they can, if the nails have been on for a while they'll just come right off, if they are recent it may take a little while to remove them.
yep! that's what they're there for. they put it on you, so they can definately take it off and put on new ones.
YES
yah but dont do it yourself cuz it will hurt and rip your nail
They should be able to, but you could take them off yourself. Just go to Sally Beauty Supply and tell them you want 100% Pure Acetone. Also buy some cheap wooden cuticle pushers while you are there. Once you're home, put the acetone in a bowl and begin soaking your fingertips. Try to soak as long as you can before you scrape a little bit with the wooden cuticle sticks. If you do this long enough, they'll come off and you can go get more. This takes a long time, but if you (or anyone else) tries to pry them off, it will also remove layers of your natural nail (and really hurt).
yes
Yes they can.
