1 /5 Susan Thompson: Ruined my nails, not sure licensed tech. I had long healthy natural nails. I get gel manicure every 2 weeks. Unfortunately, to save travel time, I tried a new place close to home. Instead of soaking gel off, went right to grinding off. I questioned this but told no problem, dont worry. Within 2 days nails and polish peeling. Top layer of nails destroyed. Its been 4 weeks and nails now super short, split and peeling and hurt.
