When people who absolutely don't know what the products are or how they're used are complaining about getting what they asked for. Dip is acrylic. And it's unhygienic to put your fingers into a container of dip powder that's used by hundreds of people a week. This is the best and most hygienic way to get the exact same results in a fraction of the time with better results that typically last the same length of time if not longer. Stop being so afraid to look up information on products and how they're used. Ask questions. And if you're NOT SATISFIED then use your words and speak up on it while it's being done. Don't pay for the service until it's done properly. And don't be afraid to tell them no or stop that it isn't what you asked for. The only reason you leave a nail salon upset is when the results aren't good. You have the power in the shop to make that happen.
Acrylic is dip dip is Acrylic and it's more hygienic to put it on with the brush I get it some people don't like the smell of monomer .but dip is 1000% Acrylic lmfao for all the people in the comments that don't realize that dip and Acrylic is the same thing...just like polygel and Acrygel it's both the same it's Acrylic and gel mixed together lol rather it's in a tube or a pot haha
I'm a cosmetology student and I just want to say FACTS!! More communication needed to happen from the nail tech but misunderstandings also happen, and clients should absolutely feel that they have a right to speak up that something isn't right. At least the client ended up happy with the service!
for everyone: if you're ever getting your nails done and you're confused or feel like the person doing your nails did something wrong... speak up! and don't wait until after. don't be rude, but you can and should ask questions just to avoid any anger or confusion
I came in for dip nails and the guy straight told me no we do acrylic over natural nail. Dip and gel has to be soaked off every time. Acrylic can be filled. It's cheaper and more convient
I once went to the nail salon for the first time when I was like 11 for my aunts wedding’s and I was really nervous because different people kept coming back to my nail removing polish and putting it back on giggling at the past ones work and I was so confused because they spoke another language and had a VERY strong accent I nearly had a panic attack because I thought it was gonna be quick and my hands and legs get really shaky when I’m there and after we left I told my mom and she went” oh yeah forgot to tell you ,the man who was doing my nails said they we’re using me as a test dummy for the new people there because a kid wouldn’t get mad and my moms nails would take like an hour and mine was like 10 minutes so they just decided that would be best💀 I’ll never forget it I was so worried and I remember one dude did it and I realized an entire chunk of my nail wasn’t painted and when the next person came she kept laughing at him for it pointing it out and then she removed it and re painted I thought it was never gonna end I wish someone would have explained Edit:no disrespect against my mom I love her more than anything in the world but she said she learned halfway through her nails because one of the workers freaked out for a second and asked “this isn’t for a dance is it cause if it’s important I can switch to her” but it was just for a family members wedding that I was just there ,nothing special also yeah they gave me a discount on my own nails
Nail tech here 🙋🏽♀️: Acrylic is dip, but it’s also stronger and last longer when applied with a brush because it’s structural, we build the nail so it last longer 😊
Thank you I didn't know that the same thing happened to me and I was just too scared to say anything cuz I figured they know more about what they're doing than I do😅
My mom is a manicurist. Every single time she gets her nails done, she regrets it. She shows me every flaw. And she's always right. Now I can't stop looking at all the things wrong with nails either. She would be APPALLED by those first ones. APPALLED. Also... she hates dip lol. Says acrylic is way better, easier to work with, come out nicer. She's very happy acrylic and nail art are back 😆
So, for clarification. I'm a nail tech. Acrylic and dip are essentially the same thing just they use different methods in order to put the product on your nails. One uses, acrylic polymer and a monomer (acrylic) the other uses acrylic polymer and a bonding agent and activator (dip). The only difference is the liquid used and method of application. They use the same plastics for acrylic and dip.
My nail tech puts my dip powder on the same way as acrylic, and its the best nails ive ever had. I was also confused the first time bc i was used to them dipping my finger in, but i also saw that wasnt the most saniltary way so i figured he does it like that to make it more clean.
@@Jade-hr1mf but that doesnt make any sense at all because they are the same exact thing. The only reason they are called different things is because of the methods. The ingredients are the same. Theres no difference. Also, this isnt hate and im not trying to offend you, im just in need to tell what not a lot of people know or talk about.
Thank God people knows the difference. Yes! Dont ask for a kind of technique. Just ask for nail extentions and show a picture. Let the artist do her own thing and technique as long it is the same end result as your expectations.
She gave you "dip" but the RIGHT way. The powder IS acrylic, but instead of giving you another bumpy mess that would require a ton of filing to smooth out, she applied it properly with a brush like the experienced professional she is.
I'm so obsessed with nails because I'm a sign language interpreter. And having a good set is a uniform for me. So that clean set at the end was perfect.
Omg I took an asl class and I was so scared my nails were getting in the way and it would be hard to interpret what I was saying so this makes me feel a bit better
It seems like she used acrylic (dip is also acrylic) so your nail beds are more even and are better structured . She didn’t do it how you wanted but she gave you what you needed . And did a great job with clean application . 🎉
AMEN! was about to say techs knows better but yeah i get the lady since she’s the one paying, nail tech could’ve just explained why at lease. BUT DAMN THOSE NAILS ARE FRESHER THAN ME.
It’s also more sanitary in a salon setting since dipping nails into the container when many clients have done so is really nasty. And yes dip powder is acrylic. I hate it when people say dip powder is better than acrylic when it’s lowkey worse since when you soak it off, you have to soak off all of the glue too which likes to stick to the nails while good acrylic will fluff up and easily come off.
You found yourself a real veteran nail technician hun. I’m a 15 plus veteran myself and trust me, when she seen all that product on your nails at the beginning.. she wanted to show you how a real set is supposed to look like. ❤❤❤
$48??? That is a great deal! Those nails are perfect! Hope you gave her a good tip. Just so you know, dip powder is just a finer acrylic powder. Its the liquids and method that are different. And now you can get a backfill instead of a full soak off and redo. The 1st set HAD to be a brand new tech because those are not it!
I agree that she found a veterinal Tech. I myself am a veteran now. Recently, I've started to do dip because new client tale have requested it. But I also like to educate them that the dip is just and acrylic. Dipping sand it is you're using basically the same thing. It's all gonna wind up being sent type of acrylic Nell. So you've got the liquid monitor powder combination that she used on you. Or you would use the resin, the acrylic dipping. Outer and then their brush with the catalyst to harden it. And a glossy coat to see it or Matt. Depending on what you wanna do, the reality ISIS that solar Mills are UV acrylic nails that do not fade or yellow or become briddle from the sun. It was never a brand solar nails was never a brand. And this is the same thing, and I'm sorry to go on, but it's drives me nuts as they now. Tech for over 15 plus year, who continues to educate themselves and is impossibly murdering the English language with this long comment through voice text that I'm not even gonna spell check I love you guys. I love the content being shared and I'm not trying to be mean in anyway I just I wish people could be better educated about this when they go select to talk comment at this time me posting stop comment or that I seen was definitely ask questions when something doesn't feel right and. Out of getting upset and and getting you know weird about it. And I agree. I think that when you go see someone. You should not be afraid to ask them what they're doing. And they shouldn't be upset. And they should be glad to inform you as to what they are doing. And what you are using, and what's the difference in those products are?
Facts I no longer go to salons I have found a private nail tech who is all about nail prep and healthy nails before the extension and when I say that makes all the difference it truly does. I have the world's finest nail beds the lifted cracked or broke all the time after about a week and a half I stopped the chop shops started going to my girl and no lifting no cracks no breaks nothing and my current set has been on for 4 weeks and still holding on strong
She really said I’m tired of people asking for dip as though it’s not the same as acrylic and making my jar unsanitary, I’m applying this cleanly. And she did a great job 👏🏻
Hi nail tech here but I wanted to say that dip IS acrylic. Traditional acrylic uses monomer and acrylic powder Dip still uses acrylic powder, but instead of monomer it’s resin that glues the acrylic powder to your nails. The prep is the same, the only difference is application. With traditional acrylic you don’t have to file/soak off every single time whereas with dip you do. 😊
As a nail tech, the first little bit of information I want to drop is that dip is just a very finely milled acrylic it’s applied differently. It’s applied using a dip base which is just an acrylate (like cyanoacrylate aka nail glue) or it can be applied with a gel base. But also when you saw her go for traditional acrylic, why not speak up? As we get busy, we’re working on client after client generally speaking and we talk to numerous clients a day so sometimes it’s easy to forget Oh, wait, they want this. They turned out pretty but I do believe you were at a traditional salon and not an individual nail tech. There may have been a language barrier and she may have misunderstood you, but I’m sure she would’ve been happy to dip if you had spoken up and reminded her. As long as you’re happy that’s what’s important but don’t be afraid to tell your tech what you want. I always tell my clients speak up, I don’t have to wear the nails I’m doing on them they do therefore I want them to be ecstatic.
Until reading your comment I was always nervous that if I spoke up or asked questions to my tech that they would assume I was being extra or that I’m just dumb and don’t know what I was talking about. But now seeing as your a tech yourself- maybe it was just all in my head 😳
@@ThewoowooguruIt's not in your head. They do get annoyed and visibly pissed at you, but at least you get what you want and don't go home feeling angry and unable to come down from the feeling of "I should have said something ".
@@ThewoowooguruI always hear nail techs saying they’d rather have you speak up while in the chair than get a bad review or message later asking for a refund or asking for them to fix it 😅 like no mams you paid for them, you left with them so enjoy them 😁
@@user-vp8oz1pj9cit's sad that some nail technicians get pissed. You pay and I want to make what you paid for. Sometimes I can advise something because of the natural nails being thin or flexible but the end result should be what you asked for
I do dip at home with phenomenal results in 10 .minutes... because only 1 nail tech in the entire 130-mile radius around here does a very good job and always listens. 1. She's a very busy girl. Plus, acylic always ruins my nail beds. And doesn't last me near as long dip. There are people that dip os just right for.
@@4jmoffitt28 acrylic or dip does not matter all can cause potentially damage just dont over file the nails , remember all products that you soak off have the worst damage your going to need a break from traditional dip try using rubber base gel instead of glue to then fill them inn if you use clear poweder then gel colors on top
Honey, a nailtech here. Dip powder, is acrylic. The "special" solution they use before applying it. Is either glue, or monomer in a nail polish bottle. She actually made a right choice, because your nails were probably really bumpy and uneven. Your really want a smooth and even base before applying dip powder. Otherwise they would look chunky and bumpy. That probably what the previous nailtech did wrong, she probably only filled the upper layer and applied ONLY the dip powder like you asked for 😅
This was what I was thinking!!! on a train cosmetologist, and I was thinking her nails were probably too fragile to handle the dip! She probably needed a little bit thicker of a wire to make sure her nails didn’t bend or break! Because the other place probably left them bumpy and weak and really bad! So don’t be mad at this nail tech. I think this one did her a favor!!! Cause they look CLEAN! And yeah I don’t get the big thing about dip! ITS THE SAME THING! Still grinding your nails! Still applying a gel or monomer! And still applying an acrylic power! Your just rolling your nails around on everyone else’s nasty juices! No thank YOU!
@@kimorimia3278 see good to know I got a nail techie on my side! Cause bay bay I wanted to learn nails so bad but my school focused more on hair and make up!!! Not all three because they are plant based (Aveda THEY SUCK DONT EVER LET ANYONE USE THEM!!!) but yeah so didn’t learn any of that from them! It’s just basic common sense of a nail diva! 🤣😂😆🤌🏻 I love good nails! And fact is if they was bumpy on top THEM HOOCHERS WERE STRAIGHT WILD ALL THE WAY THROUGH 😂🤣😆🤌🏻 let’s be real here friend 🤟🏻
Acrylic and dipping are the same but there are people who is allergic to acrylic but not dip . It is important for a nail tech to do the right thing when a client ask for.
that doesn’t matter tho, she could’ve said that but she HAS to do what she’s payed for and asked to do. i would have spoken up and have before. it doesn’t matter what the nail tech’s opinion is if the client orders something specific 😂
I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I OWN a nail studio… Dip IS acrylic. That’s why Kiara sky dip is also the acrylic powder. Says it right on the container.
Just curious is dip application process approved by the board cause when i first saw people start doing it seemed like something that would be considered unsanitary or cross contamination.
@@artemisrodriguez3297 it depends on how it’s applied. They sell little dishes to pour the powder into that can only be used on the client getting the service and remainder powder is tossed. However many places will just dip the nail directly into the jar which isn’t sanitary. Also many places that offer dip (I honestly don’t know many licensed technicians that do) also take people with fungus and are dipping directly into the jar. Contaminating the jar with fungus and continually using the jar on everyone. I’ve seen a girl with fungus on all nails under her dip because of contaminated powder. Had to send her to a dr.
She applied the dip like it was acrylic but yes, they are in fact the same product. This is just not “dipped” but yes it’s the same. Her technique was amazing and she didn’t seem to harm your nails at all I would continue going to this person forever. A great nail tech cannot be given up!
My nail tech moved to another province 😭 my mother gets her nails done by other people, but they're never as good as when I got them from my artist. I don't get my nails done anymore cause no one else can measure up.
Just finished the video your nails are clean and they look amazing. I like acrylic because it's cheaper than dip but this lady simply slayed with the acrylic. You look like you can do a hand commercial now.
Thank you to all the nail techs here saying you can use dip with a monomer!!!! I want to move into acrylic nails but was sad I've wasted so much money on dip powders that i never use. Love you all!
I too have a TON of dip powder. But I actually use mine. Still working my way thru my collection but I enjoy doing my own nails, and I've gotten pretty good at it!
She did a light layer of acrylic to cover the mess of her grinding the last job away to give your nails a fresh start from whatever was making the dip bubble. It makes sense - could also be oils in your natural nail beds that cause the dip to bubble so this was her solution… just ask to clarify what’s being done and be friendly and I’m sure she’d gladly tell you!
As a nail tech, DIP IS ACRYLIC! Let me say it again: DIP IS ACRYLIC! They're the same product. The only difference is the way they're applied. Traditional acrylic is applied by dipping a brush into a monomer liquid and then a polymer powder and then hand shaping it onto the nail either on a form or on the natural nail. "Dip" is the same acrylic powder, in a slightly finer consistency, and instead of dipping a brush into the monomer liquid, monomer liquid is painted onto your nails in a thin layer and then your nail is "dipped" into the powder causing a thin layer to adhere to the nail which can then be buffed and shaped exactly like any other normal acrylic. Girl, she gave you EXACTLY what you asked for, she just did it her way, and it looks really good. Especially for that super CHEAP price.
Not a nail tech but came here to say this. I dip my own nails at home but would walk RIGHT back out if I went to a nail tech and they wanted to dip my nails in a community powder. She got exactly what she asked for and I WISH I could find a $48 professional manicure. Pfft, she's ungrateful.
Nail tech here!! Gurl no matter how many times we tell them... dip is acrylic!!! They think its different!! Its the same stuff!!! Say it again for the people in the back!!!
Is there a way to ask for it to be applied like this? Everyone swears by dip, but the actual act of dipping your nail into a big jar always gave me the heebie jeebies for hygiene
"Y'all are not ready for what happened" I'm over here thinking something bad happened. That was pretty underwhelming to say the least. At least she liked it.
She saw the horror you came in with and decided you can't be trusted with what you want 😂 she did what she felt was best to save those nails and her integrity as a tech
Nails are difficult to do i am in cosmetology and there is a reason it takes 4 years and 1000 hours of learning to get your license its hard to do so dont get mad over a little bump or 2 we work hard on them
Exactly she just complained to complain 😂 I can see it they was bad but come on that woman obviously know what hat she doing and if she didn’t speak up
She probably thought your nails were a bit too thin for dip and decided she could do the same thing you wanted with acrylic, she just didn’t want your nails to break easily, she was looking out for you and wanted quality for you
Dip powder is acrylic powder it is simply applied with a nail Base glue instead of monomer. It is the exact same product, the only reason to apply it in a dip fashion is to make it easier for at home nail technicians. Professional nail technicians often have more practice using a brush
Dip is acrylic. Applying acrylic beads is usually more common because it gives a lot more control (IMO) and it's what most nail techs are educated on. But it's literally the same thing she asked them for. Dip is literally just acrylic. It's stupid to request your nail tech to give you a service using a medium she isn't accustomed to if she knows a way to give you the same result with the same quality.
It's not stupid She just didn't know that dip was also acrylic....and if a customer says "dip" they expect you to DIP... if the tech doesn't know how to do the dip powder then be upfront about it
@@jkgolden6143 I mean, I wasn't calling her stupid. I was just arguing that one should know what they're looking for before resorting to complaining about a perfectly fine service. The internet is free. U
Nail tech really said "nah hunny imma show you what real nails look like then you can come back for something flashy" as they shave off the last salons shame lmaoo
To be fair, it’s hard to NOT have bumpy nails with dip. “dip” is literally the powder that is used for acrylic. it’s the same thing but in a different form. so when you add the monomer, you get acrylic. so while it’s the same product minus the monomer, the process is a lot easier to get that smooth finish. so when you said you wanted dip, and saw how bumpy ur og nails were, she did you a favor
@@Lily-kc6ilThat is what she asked for same products she just applied it the same way she would acrylic because of the bumpiness what more do you want that is perfect service
The form!!!??? The POWDER IS ACRYLIC yall!!! ALL POWDER ANYTHING FOR NAIL ENHANCEMENT IS ACRYLIC!!! the difference is the liquid that’s used that’s it!
It is still dip however, whenever you have long nails either fake or natural it’s not good to do it by dipping it’s better to do it as an acrylic style because it will last longer and it’s also stronger than just dip by itself but she still do SNS she just did it like she would do actual acrylic! -ex nail tech ❤️❤️
Introductions???? 😅 Btw acrylic and dip r basically the same just applied differently. There’s rly no difference. I prefer liquid to powder over dipping. I’m a nail tech btw 😏
@love-ph this is a completely false statement. Dip is NOT better than acrylic. Dip is not any better for your nails either. Dip takes little to no skill on behalf of the nail tech and a lot of the time they do little to no filing causing the horrible bumpy set she had to begin with. Dip is a waste of money
❤Back in the late 90s we grew out our natural nails & then put a nice thin layer of acrylic over them..they always looked great. Also that color was my go- to color back then and it's still my favorite ❤
Acrylic lasts much longer than dip. Dip is from the 80s BEFORE we started with porcelain nails, which later became acrylic. I became a nail tech in 1985 and it was a brand new career. We started with dip and we moved into porcelain.
I trust my nail tech 8/10 so if I ask for something and they give me something else?? Imma roll with it bc they’re gonna set me up. Last time I got my nails done, I asked for a one-glitz, nine shine in lilac glitter/lilac and he showed me the difference and said “this much prettier” and did lilac glitter for ten..was skeptical at first? Yes but they turned out great. Plus they matched my vacation outfits perfectly ❤ Wore those nails til they grew out enough to clip off.. But yea this might not be the case for everyone so speak up! Techs don’t want they’re time wasted, you don’t want your money wasted.
Looks so much better. Acrylic is always so much smoother and lighter than dip-- I love it. I've tried dip several times, and I always end up with a thick, built up mess despite three different nail techs doing them. They're also strong and hold color well. Acrylic forever!
Lol 😂 I have a similar story! just the lady told me “no I’m changing style, that’s not you I’ll show you” & she did something wayyyyy better than what I originally had, I loved it!
I love my nail tech. She's phenomenal and gets it right every time. Free hand, and they look like my real nails except much stronger and last till my next visit. Shout out to all the wonderful nail techs keeping us fabulous ❤
PSA for everyone : dip is disgusting to get in a nail salon because nail techs will dip unwashed hands, nail fungus, and all types of other disgusting nail diseases and there’s nothing you can do about it because the powder is used over and over again. Dip also starts chipping way faster than acrylic for whatever reason. It’s just an inferior nail product unless you’re doing it at home.
And they use the same brushes and all that dip is not the only way you can get an infection I’ve gotten it before and I’m fine y’all are making excuses for not following a customers orders and trying to scare people into not getting what they prefer do your job or don’t do it at all
Seems like she didn’t have a voice when she was getting her nails done but as soon as she’s in her car, she needs to record it and express how she feels
@@emmajeanjumpinbean not at all, but if you’re paying for a service and you don’t like it, it’s common sense to speak up so the person providing that service can actually give you what you want. She’s choosing to wait until it’s done and leaves to complain about it 😭
She did it that way to help you heal from a dip that would have to be damaging to the nail to remove it so she ground off the top layer down to a little bit and then re-strengthen the nail by reinforcing it with acrylic. It also allows you to grow them out.
I was looking for this! Everyone going on about how dip is acrylic and I'm just thinking... that wasn't her only mistake! Follow introductions 🙄 That was driving me nuts before the "I asked for acrylic and she gave me acrylic!" 😂
I went to the same nail tech for over 20 years. The very last time she did my nails she did them for free as a wedding gift to me. Little did I know as we stood there and cried happy tears that she was leaving the area and that day of beauty was her gift to me. I have a new tech that I really like and if she's not available I don't go. Period.
Just say something! Last time I had mine done they were bumpy too and I was too anxious to say anything right then. I came back the next day, anxious and literally shaking, and told the guy who ran the place. The same nail tech came up trying to do my nails I immediately requested someone else. They redid them free of charge and she reassured me it was completely okay that I didn’t like them and I wanted them redone. She even let me pick out a new color and tested 5 different polishes on her own nails to help me decide. I’m glad I went back because now I feel more comfortable to speak up and I will always have the girl that fixed them do my nails.
@@LynixASMR yeah, she asked for a specific way of application, which is why she mentioned it in the first place. The woman has no right to do something she didn't ask for.
You should have, politely asked questions when you noticed, or at least thought that she was doing something different from what you had asked for. That way she could have explained what she was doing & why, to avoid any confusion. Asking early in the process can also benefit both you & her, because if she is infact doing the wrong thing/ making a mistake she can stop what she's doing & fix it/ give you what you wanted. Not doing so could cost you a great nail tech. Because if there was a misunderstanding & you never said anything & ended up dissatisfied chances are you'd choose to go somewhere else the next time you get your nails done, & had she understood & did what you expected there's a chance that you'd love it & chose to return.
If you meant “dip” as in the method when they literally dip ur nail in, consider yourself lucky that she didn’t, there are some nail shops that aren’t that hygienic and I’ve heard of people getting infections from dips..
i actually always felt nervous to speak up with my nail tech, even when i became friends with her and started going over to her house and met her dog and texted her consistently i still wouldn't speak up, this time i finally did and my nails turned out perfectly and she didn't even get mad even jokingly she just fixed it immediately. i really love my nail tech.
She didn't give you what you wanted, she gave you what you needed 😂❤

she really said "the customer ain't always right"

😂😂
The customer is not always right !
Most of the time, the customer is a complete idiot and has no clue what their talking about.
"Customer is always right *in matters of taste and opinion*" everyone loves to leave off that last little part that changes the whole quote
for everyone: if you're ever getting your nails done and you're confused or feel like the person doing your nails did something wrong... speak up! and don't wait until after. don't be rude, but you can and should ask questions just to avoid any anger or confusion
Completely agree definitely say something I made the mistake of not doing that and winde up with way to long of nails
Exactly! I don't get why people don't. I hate speaking up if they are doing them wrong but I am the one wearing them and I have to pay for it!
I came in for dip nails and the guy straight told me no we do acrylic over natural nail. Dip and gel has to be soaked off every time. Acrylic can be filled. It's cheaper and more convient
I once went to the nail salon for the first time when I was like 11 for my aunts wedding’s and I was really nervous because different people kept coming back to my nail removing polish and putting it back on giggling at the past ones work and I was so confused because they spoke another language and had a VERY strong accent I nearly had a panic attack because I thought it was gonna be quick and my hands and legs get really shaky when I’m there and after we left I told my mom and she went” oh yeah forgot to tell you ,the man who was doing my nails said they we’re using me as a test dummy for the new people there because a kid wouldn’t get mad and my moms nails would take like an hour and mine was like 10 minutes so they just decided that would be best💀 I’ll never forget it I was so worried and I remember one dude did it and I realized an entire chunk of my nail wasn’t painted and when the next person came she kept laughing at him for it pointing it out and then she removed it and re painted I thought it was never gonna end I wish someone would have explained
Edit:no disrespect against my mom I love her more than anything in the world but she said she learned halfway through her nails because one of the workers freaked out for a second and asked “this isn’t for a dance is it cause if it’s important I can switch to her” but it was just for a family members wedding that I was just there ,nothing special also yeah they gave me a discount on my own nails
kenmaaaa!!!!
Nail tech here 🙋🏽♀️: Acrylic is dip, but it’s also stronger and last longer when applied with a brush because it’s structural, we build the nail so it last longer 😊

Thank you for clarification, I had never heard of dip and clearly never has this influencer...acrylic it is!
Thank you I didn't know that the same thing happened to me and I was just too scared to say anything cuz I figured they know more about what they're doing than I do😅

My mom is a manicurist. Every single time she gets her nails done, she regrets it. She shows me every flaw. And she's always right. Now I can't stop looking at all the things wrong with nails either. She would be APPALLED by those first ones. APPALLED. Also... she hates dip lol. Says acrylic is way better, easier to work with, come out nicer. She's very happy acrylic and nail art are back 😆
So, for clarification. I'm a nail tech. Acrylic and dip are essentially the same thing just they use different methods in order to put the product on your nails.
One uses, acrylic polymer and a monomer (acrylic) the other uses acrylic polymer and a bonding agent and activator (dip). The only difference is the liquid used and method of application. They use the same plastics for acrylic and dip.
My nail tech puts my dip powder on the same way as acrylic, and its the best nails ive ever had. I was also confused the first time bc i was used to them dipping my finger in, but i also saw that wasnt the most saniltary way so i figured he does it like that to make it more clean.
@@Jade-hr1mfdip powder and acrylic is literally the same thing just different names and different methods.
@@Jayde.Giggles I'm saying some people use the same method as acrylic but with dip powder.
@@Jade-hr1mf but that doesnt make any sense at all because they are the same exact thing. The only reason they are called different things is because of the methods. The ingredients are the same. Theres no difference. Also, this isnt hate and im not trying to offend you, im just in need to tell what not a lot of people know or talk about.
@Jayde.Giggles the powder that he uses says "dip powder" but he uses the brush wets and it gets the powder on the brush instead of dipping my finger
Dip is acrylic, just applied differently. Brush is the superior method. Those results are fabulous 🤩💕
Ooooh this makes everything make sense
Thank you cause thats really the reality of it.
Yes! Exactly 💯
Thank God people knows the difference. Yes! Dont ask for a kind of technique. Just ask for nail extentions and show a picture. Let the artist do her own thing and technique as long it is the same end result as your expectations.
so when they ask dip or arylic what’s the point? i always get asked this when gett g my nails done
She gave you "dip" but the RIGHT way. The powder IS acrylic, but instead of giving you another bumpy mess that would require a ton of filing to smooth out, she applied it properly with a brush like the experienced professional she is.
Thank you!!!!
But it's still not what the customer was asking for and expected
Dip is literally acrylic powder. It would be different if she asked for polygel. @@NoBooNo
@@NoBooNo Do you?
@@bonnie.fshe could of asked a question about why she wasn’t doing what she wanted and I’m sure the nail tech would of explained what she was doing
I'm so obsessed with nails because I'm a sign language interpreter. And having a good set is a uniform for me. So that clean set at the end was perfect.
Omg I took an asl class and I was so scared my nails were getting in the way and it would be hard to interpret what I was saying so this makes me feel a bit better
I’m an interpreter too and nails can make such a difference in how your hands look when signing! You go girl!!
We appreciate you ❤
It seems like she used acrylic (dip is also acrylic) so your nail beds are more even and are better structured . She didn’t do it how you wanted but she gave you what you needed . And did a great job with clean application . 🎉
AMEN! was about to say techs knows better but yeah i get the lady since she’s the one paying, nail tech could’ve just explained why at lease. BUT DAMN THOSE NAILS ARE FRESHER THAN ME.
It’s also more sanitary in a salon setting since dipping nails into the container when many clients have done so is really nasty. And yes dip powder is acrylic. I hate it when people say dip powder is better than acrylic when it’s lowkey worse since when you soak it off, you have to soak off all of the glue too which likes to stick to the nails while good acrylic will fluff up and easily come off.
You found yourself a real veteran nail technician hun. I’m a 15 plus veteran myself and trust me, when she seen all that product on your nails at the beginning.. she wanted to show you how a real set is supposed to look like. ❤❤❤
@@Allison-jj1vqAfrican American vernacular English is different
@@Allison-jj1vq elementary school grammar makes you so much smarter than everyone else, please, keep teaching us 🙏
$48??? That is a great deal! Those nails are perfect! Hope you gave her a good tip. Just so you know, dip powder is just a finer acrylic powder. Its the liquids and method that are different. And now you can get a backfill instead of a full soak off and redo.
The 1st set HAD to be a brand new tech because those are not it!
I agree that she found a veterinal Tech. I myself am a veteran now. Recently, I've started to do dip because new client tale have requested it. But I also like to educate them that the dip is just and acrylic. Dipping sand it is you're using basically the same thing. It's all gonna wind up being sent type of acrylic Nell. So you've got the liquid monitor powder combination that she used on you. Or you would use the resin, the acrylic dipping. Outer and then their brush with the catalyst to harden it. And a glossy coat to see it or Matt. Depending on what you wanna do, the reality ISIS that solar Mills are UV acrylic nails that do not fade or yellow or become briddle from the sun. It was never a brand solar nails was never a brand. And this is the same thing, and I'm sorry to go on, but it's drives me nuts as they now. Tech for over 15 plus year, who continues to educate themselves and is impossibly murdering the English language with this long comment through voice text that I'm not even gonna spell check I love you guys. I love the content being shared and I'm not trying to be mean in anyway I just I wish people could be better educated about this when they go select to talk comment at this time me posting stop comment or that I seen was definitely ask questions when something doesn't feel right and. Out of getting upset and and getting you know weird about it. And I agree. I think that when you go see someone. You should not be afraid to ask them what they're doing. And they shouldn't be upset. And they should be glad to inform you as to what they are doing. And what you are using, and what's the difference in those products are?
Facts I no longer go to salons I have found a private nail tech who is all about nail prep and healthy nails before the extension and when I say that makes all the difference it truly does. I have the world's finest nail beds the lifted cracked or broke all the time after about a week and a half I stopped the chop shops started going to my girl and no lifting no cracks no breaks nothing and my current set has been on for 4 weeks and still holding on strong
She really said I’m tired of people asking for dip as though it’s not the same as acrylic and making my jar unsanitary, I’m applying this cleanly. And she did a great job 👏🏻
Yh
Do people not know dip is acrylic?!
@@rroman1988nope 😂

Esthetician nail technician here ❤ dip is acrylic :) just using the powder in a different way / using a different technique
Was about to comment this!
That's what I assumed and I was confused.
What does she think dip is
Yes my sister is a nail tech and sent me this saying the exact same thing- acrylic dip powders make that bead on the brush 😂
Hi nail tech here but I wanted to say that dip IS acrylic.
Traditional acrylic uses monomer and acrylic powder
Dip still uses acrylic powder, but instead of monomer it’s resin that glues the acrylic powder to your nails. The prep is the same, the only difference is application.
With traditional acrylic you don’t have to file/soak off every single time whereas with dip you do. 😊
As a nail tech, the first little bit of information I want to drop is that dip is just a very finely milled acrylic it’s applied differently. It’s applied using a dip base which is just an acrylate (like cyanoacrylate aka nail glue) or it can be applied with a gel base. But also when you saw her go for traditional acrylic, why not speak up? As we get busy, we’re working on client after client generally speaking and we talk to numerous clients a day so sometimes it’s easy to forget Oh, wait, they want this. They turned out pretty but I do believe you were at a traditional salon and not an individual nail tech. There may have been a language barrier and she may have misunderstood you, but I’m sure she would’ve been happy to dip if you had spoken up and reminded her. As long as you’re happy that’s what’s important but don’t be afraid to tell your tech what you want. I always tell my clients speak up, I don’t have to wear the nails I’m doing on them they do therefore I want them to be ecstatic.
Until reading your comment I was always nervous that if I spoke up or asked questions to my tech that they would assume I was being extra or that I’m just dumb and don’t know what I was talking about. But now seeing as your a tech yourself- maybe it was just all in my head 😳
@@ThewoowooguruIt's not in your head. They do get annoyed and visibly pissed at you, but at least you get what you want and don't go home feeling angry and unable to come down from the feeling of "I should have said something ".
@@ThewoowooguruI always hear nail techs saying they’d rather have you speak up while in the chair than get a bad review or message later asking for a refund or asking for them to fix it 😅 like no mams you paid for them, you left with them so enjoy them 😁
@@Thewoowoogurusome might, unfortunately. but then you know it’s time to find a new nail tech who cares a little bit 💖🫶🏻
@@user-vp8oz1pj9cit's sad that some nail technicians get pissed. You pay and I want to make what you paid for. Sometimes I can advise something because of the natural nails being thin or flexible but the end result should be what you asked for
Dip is acrylic powder applied poorly. This looks phenomenal, I love them!
I do dip at home with phenomenal results in 10 .minutes... because only 1 nail tech in the entire 130-mile radius around here does a very good job and always listens. 1. She's a very busy girl. Plus, acylic always ruins my nail beds. And doesn't last me near as long dip. There are people that dip os just right for.
@@4jmoffitt28Did you have a stroke
@@bunniiluvin hahaha kinda mean, but faf!
I agree with you there but did she maybe mean sns? I mean similar concepts though to be fair
@@4jmoffitt28 acrylic or dip does not matter all can cause potentially damage just dont over file the nails , remember all products that you soak off have the worst damage your going to need a break from traditional dip try using rubber base gel instead of glue to then fill them inn if you use clear poweder then gel colors on top
She saw how much dip wasssnnnttt working for you and gave you that princess diaries makeover 😂
Dip is acrylic just letting you know it’s a finer milled acrylic that’s applied differently but can be used as regular acrylic with monomer!
was about to say the same.
Yasss 🙌 dip is powered acrylic.
Exactly that's what I'm saying it's most of the time the customer's fault. Honestly don't question pro nailtechs they knows best
I’m so glad you commented this. I didn’t understand why she was complaining when they’re technically the same, just different forms and applications.
That’s exactly what I was gonna say
Honey, a nailtech here. Dip powder, is acrylic. The "special" solution they use before applying it. Is either glue, or monomer in a nail polish bottle. She actually made a right choice, because your nails were probably really bumpy and uneven. Your really want a smooth and even base before applying dip powder. Otherwise they would look chunky and bumpy. That probably what the previous nailtech did wrong, she probably only filled the upper layer and applied ONLY the dip powder like you asked for 😅
This was what I was thinking!!! on a train cosmetologist, and I was thinking her nails were probably too fragile to handle the dip! She probably needed a little bit thicker of a wire to make sure her nails didn’t bend or break! Because the other place probably left them bumpy and weak and really bad! So don’t be mad at this nail tech. I think this one did her a favor!!! Cause they look CLEAN! And yeah I don’t get the big thing about dip! ITS THE SAME THING! Still grinding your nails! Still applying a gel or monomer! And still applying an acrylic power! Your just rolling your nails around on everyone else’s nasty juices! No thank YOU!
@@Ashley_Lauren Exactly that! 🙌🤗
@@kimorimia3278 see good to know I got a nail techie on my side! Cause bay bay I wanted to learn nails so bad but my school focused more on hair and make up!!! Not all three because they are plant based (Aveda THEY SUCK DONT EVER LET ANYONE USE THEM!!!) but yeah so didn’t learn any of that from them! It’s just basic common sense of a nail diva! 🤣😂😆🤌🏻 I love good nails! And fact is if they was bumpy on top THEM HOOCHERS WERE STRAIGHT WILD ALL THE WAY THROUGH 😂🤣😆🤌🏻 let’s be real here friend 🤟🏻
Acrylic and dipping are the same but there are people who is allergic to acrylic but not dip . It is important for a nail tech to do the right thing when a client ask for.
that doesn’t matter tho, she could’ve said that but she HAS to do what she’s payed for and asked to do. i would have spoken up and have before. it doesn’t matter what the nail tech’s opinion is if the client orders something specific 😂
I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I OWN a nail studio… Dip IS acrylic. That’s why Kiara sky dip is also the acrylic powder. Says it right on the container.
Then you should also know that Dip… is also a method of application. Not just “dip powder is acrylic”.
@@TheRealestRAVEN that’s obvious. Shouldn’t have to explain that one but guess someone needed that.
Just curious is dip application process approved by the board cause when i first saw people start doing it seemed like something that would be considered unsanitary or cross contamination.
@@artemisrodriguez3297 it depends on how it’s applied. They sell little dishes to pour the powder into that can only be used on the client getting the service and remainder powder is tossed. However many places will just dip the nail directly into the jar which isn’t sanitary. Also many places that offer dip (I honestly don’t know many licensed technicians that do) also take people with fungus and are dipping directly into the jar. Contaminating the jar with fungus and continually using the jar on everyone. I’ve seen a girl with fungus on all nails under her dip because of contaminated powder. Had to send her to a dr.
@@artemisrodriguez3297you knlw you can pour some of the powder in a differe t container to dip in it so you dont contaminate the whole powder?
After seeing what you walked in with mama was like Ima just do what I want. Lol
😂😂 and that’s exactly!! What she did!
She applied the dip like it was acrylic but yes, they are in fact the same product. This is just not “dipped” but yes it’s the same. Her technique was amazing and she didn’t seem to harm your nails at all I would continue going to this person forever. A great nail tech cannot be given up!
My nail tech moved to another province 😭 my mother gets her nails done by other people, but they're never as good as when I got them from my artist. I don't get my nails done anymore cause no one else can measure up.
Dip IS acrylic. She just used a different application method
She really said “let the professionals handle it” ❤
Went from clumpy and crusty to classy!👏👏👏 10/10 to the nail tech!
Just finished the video your nails are clean and they look amazing. I like acrylic because it's cheaper than dip but this lady simply slayed with the acrylic. You look like you can do a hand commercial now.
She did exactly what you asked for hun it’s just more sanitary and helps build the nail better using a brush
Facts
what part is more sanitary?
@@lunaskissesinstead of dipping the nails into the pot of dip powder it’s applied to the nails with a brush so it’s less contact.
@@livdoeswhatever ohhhh that's why it's called "dipping" lol. thank you!
@@lunaskisses yep!
Thank you to all the nail techs here saying you can use dip with a monomer!!!! I want to move into acrylic nails but was sad I've wasted so much money on dip powders that i never use. Love you all!
Of course! Dip powder is acrylic at a finer grain. The only difference is the way they're applied.
It’s literally just fine acrylic powder lol :)
Only difference is the texture of it. So have fun with all those colors you've already bought. ❤
I too have a TON of dip powder. But I actually use mine. Still working my way thru my collection but I enjoy doing my own nails, and I've gotten pretty good at it!
She did a light layer of acrylic to cover the mess of her grinding the last job away to give your nails a fresh start from whatever was making the dip bubble. It makes sense - could also be oils in your natural nail beds that cause the dip to bubble so this was her solution… just ask to clarify what’s being done and be friendly and I’m sure she’d gladly tell you!
I absolutely love the creator trying to use it as a "mixing" shade 😂😂😂😂 such a perfect demonstration of the idiocy of that defense!
As a nail tech, DIP IS ACRYLIC!
Let me say it again:
DIP
IS
ACRYLIC!
They're the same product. The only difference is the way they're applied. Traditional acrylic is applied by dipping a brush into a monomer liquid and then a polymer powder and then hand shaping it onto the nail either on a form or on the natural nail. "Dip" is the same acrylic powder, in a slightly finer consistency, and instead of dipping a brush into the monomer liquid, monomer liquid is painted onto your nails in a thin layer and then your nail is "dipped" into the powder causing a thin layer to adhere to the nail which can then be buffed and shaped exactly like any other normal acrylic.
Girl, she gave you EXACTLY what you asked for, she just did it her way, and it looks really good. Especially for that super CHEAP price.
This comment deserves to be pinned🫶🏻
Not a nail tech but came here to say this. I dip my own nails at home but would walk RIGHT back out if I went to a nail tech and they wanted to dip my nails in a community powder. She got exactly what she asked for and I WISH I could find a $48 professional manicure. Pfft, she's ungrateful.
Nail tech here!! Gurl no matter how many times we tell them... dip is acrylic!!! They think its different!! Its the same stuff!!! Say it again for the people in the back!!!
Is there a way to ask for it to be applied like this? Everyone swears by dip, but the actual act of dipping your nail into a big jar always gave me the heebie jeebies for hygiene
Exactly!
"Y'all are not ready for what happened" I'm over here thinking something bad happened. That was pretty underwhelming to say the least. At least she liked it.
Ikr, so cringe. Wow, you went to a nail salon and GOT YOUR NAILS DONE?? I’m shook! Call the news!
She did what she asked for just in a different way. If it was dipped and not applied with the brush it would’ve been bumpy
Exactly, made a big deal just for the views. Glad it turned out nice but still an annoying video.
She saw the horror you came in with and decided you can't be trusted with what you want 😂 she did what she felt was best to save those nails and her integrity as a tech
"decided you can't be trusted with what you want" 😩
This is why you trust the experts.
Yea you need to keep that nail tech because she’s a real one and your nails look so healthy and very natural.

Dip is acrylic, this nail tech just aplied it in her own way damn
@@mayrithapsfrr😂
Dip powder is acrylic powder it is simply applied with a nail Base glue instead of monomer. It is the exact same product, the only reason to apply it in a dip fashion is to make it easier for at home nail technicians. Professional nail technicians often have more practice using a brush
Dip is acrylic. Applying acrylic beads is usually more common because it gives a lot more control (IMO) and it's what most nail techs are educated on. But it's literally the same thing she asked them for. Dip is literally just acrylic. It's stupid to request your nail tech to give you a service using a medium she isn't accustomed to if she knows a way to give you the same result with the same quality.
It's not stupid
She just didn't know that dip was also acrylic....and if a customer says "dip" they expect you to DIP... if the tech doesn't know how to do the dip powder then be upfront about it

Why did I read that in Anjela’s nail tech voice 😭
Girl, that Nail Tech is a keeper. She might do what you told, but she loves her work to do acrylic and she saved you a lot of money.
To be fair, it’s hard to NOT have bumpy nails with dip. “dip” is literally the powder that is used for acrylic. it’s the same thing but in a different form. so when you add the monomer, you get acrylic. so while it’s the same product minus the monomer, the process is a lot easier to get that smooth finish.
so when you said you wanted dip, and saw how bumpy ur og nails were, she did you a favor
It doesn’t matter you do what the customer asked for
@@Lily-kc6ilThat is what she asked for same products she just applied it the same way she would acrylic because of the bumpiness what more do you want that is perfect service
the monomer is still there. it’s just brushed onto the nail before dipping
The form!!!??? The POWDER IS ACRYLIC yall!!! ALL POWDER ANYTHING FOR NAIL ENHANCEMENT IS ACRYLIC!!! the difference is the liquid that’s used that’s it!
I'm a beginner at doing my own dip nails and mine are not bumpy. They aren't buffing enough.

It is still dip however, whenever you have long nails either fake or natural it’s not good to do it by dipping it’s better to do it as an acrylic style because it will last longer and it’s also stronger than just dip by itself but she still do SNS she just did it like she would do actual acrylic! -ex nail tech ❤️❤️

❤Back in the late 90s we grew out our natural nails & then put a nice thin layer of acrylic over them..they always looked great. Also that color was my go- to color back then and it's still my favorite ❤
I still do that today.
Yes so true plus that color and the iridescent ones❤
They look really good and natural!
She was trying to tell you which one cheaper. What a sweetheart.
Acrylic lasts much longer than dip. Dip is from the 80s BEFORE we started with porcelain nails, which later became acrylic. I became a nail tech in 1985 and it was a brand new career. We started with dip and we moved into porcelain.
I trust my nail tech 8/10 so if I ask for something and they give me something else?? Imma roll with it bc they’re gonna set me up. Last time I got my nails done, I asked for a one-glitz, nine shine in lilac glitter/lilac and he showed me the difference and said “this much prettier” and did lilac glitter for ten..was skeptical at first? Yes but they turned out great. Plus they matched my vacation outfits perfectly ❤ Wore those nails til they grew out enough to clip off..
But yea this might not be the case for everyone so speak up! Techs don’t want they’re time wasted, you don’t want your money wasted.
It's never the product. It's the application!
Looks so much better. Acrylic is always so much smoother and lighter than dip-- I love it. I've tried dip several times, and I always end up with a thick, built up mess despite three different nail techs doing them. They're also strong and hold color well. Acrylic forever!
Lol 😂 I have a similar story! just the lady told me “no I’m changing style, that’s not you I’ll show you” & she did something wayyyyy better than what I originally had, I loved it!
oh that’s a real pro, she gave you the nail you needed
I love my nail tech. She's phenomenal and gets it right every time. Free hand, and they look like my real nails except much stronger and last till my next visit. Shout out to all the wonderful nail techs keeping us fabulous ❤
PSA for everyone : dip is disgusting to get in a nail salon because nail techs will dip unwashed hands, nail fungus, and all types of other disgusting nail diseases and there’s nothing you can do about it because the powder is used over and over again. Dip also starts chipping way faster than acrylic for whatever reason. It’s just an inferior nail product unless you’re doing it at home.
And they use the same brushes and all that dip is not the only way you can get an infection I’ve gotten it before and I’m fine y’all are making excuses for not following a customers orders and trying to scare people into not getting what they prefer do your job or don’t do it at all
@@shania991huh?? dip is unsanitary. you cant just say “oh ive done it its fine” 😂

Talk to her when you don't want something. The nail tech did a good job.
Seems like she didn’t have a voice when she was getting her nails done but as soon as she’s in her car, she needs to record it and express how she feels
Okay? Is that a crime??
@@emmajeanjumpinbean not at all, but if you’re paying for a service and you don’t like it, it’s common sense to speak up so the person providing that service can actually give you what you want. She’s choosing to wait until it’s done and leaves to complain about it 😭
She did it that way to help you heal from a dip that would have to be damaging to the nail to remove it so she ground off the top layer down to a little bit and then re-strengthen the nail by reinforcing it with acrylic. It also allows you to grow them out.
“introductions” 😭

Just say something! Last time I had mine done they were bumpy too and I was too anxious to say anything right then. I came back the next day, anxious and literally shaking, and told the guy who ran the place. The same nail tech came up trying to do my nails I immediately requested someone else. They redid them free of charge and she reassured me it was completely okay that I didn’t like them and I wanted them redone. She even let me pick out a new color and tested 5 different polishes on her own nails to help me decide. I’m glad I went back because now I feel more comfortable to speak up and I will always have the girl that fixed them do my nails.
So you like being treated like a child??… I’m not trying to be mean either I’m genuinely curious
@@bambinakekehow was she treated like a child? They redid a poor service. That's just good business.
she NAILED them!! ❤
Miss baby understood the assignment 👏🏽 💅🏽
She actually gave you what you needed!! This length needs to be strengthened with gel/acrylic
She heard you and give you what you meant to ask for.
She asked for DIP. I don't care what the lady thought she needed, that's not her job.
@@ariistra195acrylic is dup tho
@@ariistra195You know dip is acrylic, right? the only difference is the way they're applied.
@@LynixASMR yeah, she asked for a specific way of application, which is why she mentioned it in the first place. The woman has no right to do something she didn't ask for.
@@ariistra195Problem is that she didnt talk with the woman while she was doing it so it could be a miscomunication incident..
It's all about the nail tech, it makes a difference if she's a professional. Your nails look fantastic.
They are absolutely gorgeous! 😍 That artist did you a solid right there
The missed opportunity to say in the end "she nailed it" instead of "she killed it" that would be hilarious XD
When you want to be mad but you can’t because you love it 😂❤
I loved how she said "She nailed it"😂❤
When did she say she nailed it
You should have, politely asked questions when you noticed, or at least thought that she was doing something different from what you had asked for. That way she could have explained what she was doing & why, to avoid any confusion. Asking early in the process can also benefit both you & her, because if she is infact doing the wrong thing/ making a mistake she can stop what she's doing & fix it/ give you what you wanted.
Not doing so could cost you a great nail tech. Because if there was a misunderstanding & you never said anything & ended up dissatisfied chances are you'd choose to go somewhere else the next time you get your nails done, & had she understood & did what you expected there's a chance that you'd love it & chose to return.
She gave you what you asked for, but in the professional way.
If you meant “dip” as in the method when they literally dip ur nail in, consider yourself lucky that she didn’t, there are some nail shops that aren’t that hygienic and I’ve heard of people getting infections from dips..
An overlay on top of natural nails is top notch! If you can find someone who does tap gel on natural it’s even better!
What is tap gel?
i actually always felt nervous to speak up with my nail tech, even when i became friends with her and started going over to her house and met her dog and texted her consistently i still wouldn't speak up, this time i finally did and my nails turned out perfectly and she didn't even get mad even jokingly she just fixed it immediately. i really love my nail tech.
she went: nah girl, i got you. this might not be what you asked for, but it's what you NEED!
