Oh damn. You wanted a russian manicure but then forgot to make sure the tech you went to could perform a russian manicure. Are you in the states. The technique required for that particular type of manicure may not even be legal in your jurisdiction. Why? Because russian manicures heavily manipulate the area near the nail matrix. Damage to the matrix can be irreversible and result in an effed up nail forever or no nail at all. Be glad she didn’t try to give you something she isn’t trained to, or perhaps legally allowed to. ❤
@@jessicahorner4531in my opinion going onto instagram and putting your town/city with nail tech afterwards is super good at finding nail techs near you. like “dallas nail tech” or “dallas nails”. thats how i found my fav nail tech 😹
what that lady did to ur nails was soo unprofessional 😭😭 she cant have used the excuse that she was in a rush because you are a paying customer that deserves what you paid for, that is so messed up edit: i’m talking about the nails from before, not these gorgeous nails
@@lynnfromthetin did you watch the video i’m talking about? she said in the video that she was too shy to say anything about it, which is completely fine and completely normal, it’s not that she’s unprofessional..she’s not a professional at being shy so you can’t really say that it was unprofessional of her to be too nervous to speak up. she also did communicate what she wanted with pictures, so there is no excuse.
independent nail techs are always the best. they take there time and actually give you the quality you pay for. salons are eventually gonna go out of business if they keep treating there clients like shit
I've been a nail tech at the salon, but I always did my best for clients. For sure, I was scolded for being too slow But I was a beginner, so it wasn't a huge problem. Also, there was a problem with machines 🤩 I could make a client wait just because all of the machines are taken by other techs
I was an independent tech for 30 yrs. We don't have anyone with their 'foot on our neck' saying "Hurry up! Aren't you done yet?!!" "No! You have to use cheaper products." "Push this style! It'll cost the client more!" We have control. We can honor our own ethics. We can treat our clients the way they should be treated. Leaving a chain salon was the best decision I made. Nicky is a tech with a conscience. She did a great job. Stick with her! 😊
Independent nail techs are the BEST! I’ve never had a bad experience with them. They’ve all been so sweet and knew their stuff. Plus, if they work from home, it can be a bit less expensive since they don’t have to rent a chair/space.
I do gelx, it’s great for damaged nails.. but it isn’t necessarily “healthier” it’s still the same chemicals that are in acrylics or traditional gels. The damage comes from improper removal, or bad techs that file away your natural nails during application. Finding the right tech is key, and it looks like you found it now 👏👏 yay!!
same ! i get the gel x, i get like medium length almond. i used to get acrylic, & the places i used to go they would get either a press on nail or a nail tip-& pry the nail away from the natural nail. it hurt so so bad & i could see the layers of my nails peeling away. when i finally stopped getting acrylics-my nails got healthier. i am a CNA-i can work with the gel x no problem. my tech removes the nails every time soak off, it’s so much better
They probs used like mma monomer and then had to basically pry it off bc it takes like an hour or more to remove. So it does kinda matter what chemicals are being used bc some dont remove well so they cut corners and gouge it off instead. Using gelx and stuff means even if the next person is incompetent they probs still end up being less damaging to the natural nail.
Gel x is actually chemically different from acrylics for the because you’re not using monomer which can contain MMA or acrylic powder. My nail tech is the best thing that ever happens to me. Each visit I get a nail care baggie with a brush for cleaning under my nails and cuticle oil. After regularly using my oil I have 0 hang nails. Products matter
Never understood why ladies need to decorate your nails so much it end up damaged. Isnt it already enough with damaged hair due to dyeing/perming? Now you wanna have your nails damaged? It doesn't even look good.
Yes girl!! I’m so glad you did this! Most salons do not have properly trained technicians. Independent nail techs get proper schooling and always want what is best for their clients!
Same how do we find local independent nail techs? Have been wanting to get my nails down very nice and not just the basic gel acrylics from salons but I can’t seem to find anything near me ):
This. We as a society don’t want to look like Karen’s so we’ve just accepted mediocrity. It’s ok to say you don’t like it and it’s not what you asked for.
i LOVE independent nail techs. Their so talented and i love to support their art form, plus just like in this video, they can give you a lot of options and consult you on your nail health.
Next time try slavic manicure( russian manicure) and you would not believe that your nails are can look that stunning! Takes longer to get them done, but worth it!
Even I knew about the cuticles just by watching nail art vids, your old nail tech must've sucked for not telling you, glad you're happy with your new nail tech
@@lawson6267and do you know, that if you apply gel on the nails without removing the cuticle, the gel will simply peel off later (plus the nails wouldn’t look great) It’s so strange to hear that this is not allowed somewhere wow.
Cuticles don't need to be removed, that can also be a risk, you can do a treatment and keep your hands moisturised or hydrated, you don't need to cut your skin.
@@lawson6267In Brazil (my country) that's a common procedure. I don't do that very often, but that's not that bad if it's done correctly, with really clean tools. It makes the nail look prettier and gel fix better
Any method can be damaging if you don't know what you're doing. I've definitely seen gel x wreck some natural nails. Healthier not necessarily, just good technique.
Definitely taking this as a sign ! Every time I go to a nail salon I always feel disappointed. And I’m pretty sure it’s the same price as a independent nail salon😭
Sometimes independent nail techs are very affordable! Some vary as they get more customers so of course sadly they raise prices on a few things .. like charms, designs, different nail colors etc. Which make sense bc they buy those for the service. (Also their time is a big factor as well) Still, many are also very considerate if you want to get your nails done but don’t have a lot of money. Really depends but is possible.
same. my first ever experience at a nail salon - she didnt remove my cuticles and there were imperfections like the shape of the gel being crooked at the nail bed.
The difference in my nails since ive been going to an independent nail artist has been so noticeable, not only is it so much fun once you get to know them and actually getting cute inspo pictures and it coming out better than expected👏🏻👏🏻
I stopped going to nail salons and started going to an indie tech and I have ZERO regrets. My nail tech is patient and has given me my fav manicure ever. I’m never going back to a nail salon honestly
Yes! I go to an independent nail tech. She does my nails the same as the sample photos I pick out from Pinterest and I’ve always leave satisfied! I hate going to a salon where they rush you and do terrible jobs.
I feel like everytime when I used to go to a regular salon and do my nails it was incredibly improper technique and I felt tons of pain. But soon I started going to an independent nail tech it was the best experience ever!
Thank you for showing this! I dont work as a nail tech now because of chain salons. No one in our area wants to go to indy techs because they want as cheap as possible. 😢
Sorry to hear that. I actually prefer independent nail techs but I can’t find one in my area. I’ll pay the price for great service. I can never relax at a nail salon because I have to micromanage them and they ALWAYS cut my cuticles. They also damage my natural nails.
It’s that we can’t afford it, a lot of independent techs especially ones with charms like this charge over 100 for a set. I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but just not feasible for most people.
Independent nail techs, hairstylists, lash techs are 10000% better than big salons! And ALWAYS will be. Keep supporting smaller businesses please!!! 🙏🏼 ❤
I can’t believe the salons weren’t doing your cuticles… that is literally the core of a manicure! The polish is extra. Independent techs are amazing! And the range of products you get to choose from are way more fun (I saw all those jelly polish sample boards 😍).
Yaaaaassss girl you did exactly what I recommended in your last video!!! Not sure what it is about us private nail techs but once you find us you never leave!!! Nails should never hurt! Of course with anything that is done by a human mistakes can happen but they are RARE! I’m talking once to a person EVER…. But you should NOT feel pain during your nail prep, while your nail polish is curing in the lamp, or anytime after your enhancements are on. A private tech might be more expensive, but we’re providing a completely different service than you get in a salon. Especially ones like me that only provide Russian Manicure/Dry services. The health of clients nails ALWAYS comes first. We care about the goals of each client and providing an assessment, creating a plan of action, and making it happen! Anyone who is going to look for a new private technician- Request a few photos of their work or ask for a portfolio. Make sure to ask if there is anything the tech does not do. A lot of techs don’t do hand painted art other than some light line work and French tips. The best part is you don’t have to be afraid to ask if we can do something!!! Almost all of us love to be challenged when it comes to creating something special for our clients! I would highly suggest providing the technician with several pictures and letting them know specifically what you like about each photo. WE GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
First off, there was no way your nails were going to look like the pix. Your nail bed is short and the pix shows fingers with a longer nail bed. The technician should've told you that and suggested another shape. The re-do was beautifully done.
I can’t get gel nails anymore… after I gave birth I developed and allergy and it’s been so hard to find a tech that knows how to do nails like back in the day before gel was all the salons were using. I had a lady tell me she couldn’t do a design bc it wasn’t gel. Needless to say I won’t be going back there. Your nails were good at the end. Techs that don’t even try to do what you ask for should be ashamed of themselves.
Yes always go more independent salons my mamaw owns a hair shop and it’s double sided and a lady rents it and does nails she is amazing great prices absolutely stunning nails every time love love love independent salons over big ones
This might be a bit controversial, but you might think about giving your nails a break. Even with the gentlest and most professional removal, gels, acrylics and even polish itself can damage the health and beauty of your natural nails. As can Russian manicures which give you a very clean appearance, but remove the cuticle to a degree that can compromise the protection this essential part of the nail provides against infections. If you do take a break, apply a few drops of argon or jojoba oil at the base and tops of your nails after each hand wash (and a few other times throughout the day and do a deep 5 min warm oil soak for your nails once a week. It will take a few months to grow your nails fully, but they will be strong and beautiful for whatever you decide to do next. And yes, independent nail techs are amazing!
My sister is a independent nail tech and she’s so great she always makes sure she makes your nails look good even if that’s not what you were looking for and she makes sure she doesn’t ruin ur nails more as u go to her more and more acrylic, gel , or just painting your nails will seem like they are helping ur nails
Nail tech here🤗 please know that it isn't the product that determines "healthier" for your nails ... it's the nail tech if they know what they are doing, they can keep your nails from damage along with how YOU remove them and your up keep ❤ SO happy you love the new set
Tbh this should be your permnent nail tech cause she seems so sweet and intelligent and skillful with her job and even let's you pick your own little charms 😊❤
I recently started going to an independent nail tech and the difference in EVERYTHING is amazing! From the prep to the sanitation to the finished look! My new girl will not work on nails with any sign of greenies or anything g that might hint at bacteria as opposed to a nail salon that literally will work on a green nail or with open cuts! I will never go back to a salon after my great experiences with my independent nail girly!!!
thats what i akways got in LA. i got tired of trying to find a good salon. i think when you are a random client in a new nail place they just give you whatever tech is there but if you have been going there for months they give you a better, more seasoned tech. but i am glad you found a great nail artist!!!
What did they end up looking like when they were finished? What charms did you pick, I’d love to see a photo please. The video cuts out before we get to see the finished set. Independent nail techs take more pride in their work. Plus they use better quality products. I need to find an independent nail technician myself. I’m not really happy with my last set that I had done at one of those other places. I hope you were happy with the finished set. It must have felt nice to be pampered for a change while having your nails done.
Independent nail techs are always so so much better

How do you find one? Googling isn't cutting it.

@@floriique I agree. Personally I wouldn’t have said something either. My social anxiety could never…
@@lynnfromthetinif you’re a nail tech and manage to damage someone’s nails *that* badly with one visit, lack of communication is not the only issue
The first nails looked so easy to do, how did they mess up THAT BAD?!?
exactly 😭😭 it was such a simple design and nail shape
I do my own nails and made the same color mistake. Didn't know there was a sheer color choice and it turned out exactly like her old nails 😭
It’s a gel mani and she got acrylic
@@kyleighwhite1409 You can put gel over acrylic
Not easy at all 😆 russian manicure with gel overlay takes experience to make it that clean ;P nail tech here

She charged u for the charms yes or no? 😅
So glad you got a dope independent nail tech who was knowledgeable and actually spoke to you about nail health!!!! A WIN!
How did you not know you’re supposed to cut the cuticle? It help the set look clean and helps them stick on better
I especially liked the part where we saw the finished look.
She never said we would
It's a joke
There’s a part 2 where she shows them finished

Don't ever leave Nikki. As an independent nail tech myself, she did you good. ❤
Hi there, how would someone go about finding their local nail techs? I'm in Dallas, but haven't had much luck.
Hi how do you find independent nail techs ?
My mum is an independent nail tech so it’s nice to hear that they’re better than nail salons 😊
Same my mom is an independent nail tech to!
Omg mine too ❤❤❤
how can we find the independent nail nechs?

Independent techs are way better, but in my experience also generally more expensive. So you get what you pay for. Glad you found a good tech
normalize not accepting bad quality service for your money, demand re-do or a compensation, this is ridiculous

There is nothing like having a good nail stylist/manicurist.
The joy is truly irreplaceable.
This is very pretty and cuteeee💖
right but its not coquette

Love those nails
What did they end up looking like when they were finished?
What charms did you pick, I’d love to see a photo please.
The video cuts out before we get to see the finished set.
Independent nail techs take more pride in their work.
Plus they use better quality products.
I need to find an independent nail technician myself.
I’m not really happy with my last set that I had done at one of those other places.
I hope you were happy with the finished set.
It must have felt nice to be pampered for a change while having your nails done.
"I couldn't stop-"
Stop what? STOP WHATT??? 😭

Gell aplicators are so much healthy for your nails❤

Gel x is not "healthier" 😂 It's the same chemicals, it's shoddy removal that peels layers of the natural nails that is the problem
