Susie I commented back in 2021 about how I was pregnant with my first baby and watching your videos to take my mind off of the morning sickness. You shared how tough your pregnancies were. Well here I am, 2 years later, pregnant with baby number 2 and yet again binging old and new videos to take my mind off the morning sickness! 😂 Your videos are a great distraction and so so entertaining, pregnant or not!
Ya that morning sickness can be rough.
But worth it when you meet your baby ❤️
@@NailCareerEducation absolutely! Worth every minute! That's how we get here again! The baby is so wonderful you forget the hard part almost!
Feel better soon!! Hopefully your morning sickness doesn’t last much longer ❤ I’m 30 weeks now, I do not miss the first trimester at all.
@@AmandaJ__ thank you and good luck to you! It really is true what they say, I almost forgot how much the first trimester sucked the first time around. I was sick to about 18 weeks with my first so I'm hoping for a break this time and for this to go away sooner!
Today I went to get my acrylics taken off and the nail tech used an acrylic extension to dig underneath mine and peel it off. I said it hurt and he ignored me so I had him stop and get another nail tech. I insisted on using acetone and he kept fighting me on it saying it would take too long.
That’s why I’m doing my own nails now, I’m traumatized by getting my nails off when I go to the nail salon. I’ve never had a tech that removed the product like that, they always rip off with a tip. Thank you so much for showing the right way ❤
Uuugghh I’m sorry
So crazy! Even at the relatively ‘budget’ salons I’ve been to, they have always filed the product off with a mechanical drill bit!
Same. I paid $37 for a nail tech to remove gel tips with a carbide tip and drill only. Just hacked away. I waited for her to grab a hand file at some point. But no. I should’ve spoke up. My nails are super thin now. And I will not go back to any salon because I get the impression that this laziness is normal. Knowledge is power.
They do!! And it feels almost like they don't respect you!!
I had a nail tech use cuticle nippers to remove my acrylics. When I said it was painful the tech simple said "Oh it's not really that bad." I never went back. Now I do my own nails and hand file when I want to remove the acrylic.
I’m sorry that happened - on behalf of good techs out there we are sorry 😞
I hadn't had my nails done in about 20 years and I liked the new nails and wanted something different, the nail tech tore the older set off by getting a plastic nail tip and prying them off... so much damage to my actual nails, they have finally a year later started growing properly again
Side note: Wow those nails are gorgeous lol
@@NailCareerEducation😢YES. ONE REASON I BECAME A MANICURIST. TO SHOW THAT ALL NAIL TECHNICIAN ARTIST ARE NOT THE SAME. IT IS AN ART THAT SHOULD BEGIN WITH SAFETY AND SANITIZATION. YOUR VIDEOS HELPED ME WHILE IN COLLEGE AND NOW. I JUST PASSED THIS MAY 2023. BUT, HAD BEEN DOING MY OWN NAILS SINCE THE EARLY 2000s. ❤I HATE TO HEAR OF CLIENTS WHO AT THE HANDS OF POOR SERVICE NOW NO LONGER TRUST US. WHEN EVERY HUMAN SHOULD BE PAMPERED AT TIMES!❤
@@april2702I’m glad you went to school to become a licensed Nail tech! So you will do nails the right way! Enjoy your new journey in nails!
ALL the nail places in our area(Midwest) use tips/floss & when you ask them not to do that they get angry because, yes it takes more time, but I’ve literally had part of my nail bed ripped off from being ripped off with a nail tip. I had to go to Urgent Care where they had to remove my entire nail😤🤬 which really hurt, EXTREMELY. But thanks to Suzie & her store I now can do them myself & have zero problems with ripping, thing/brittle nails or fungus growing under the product🤢. But to anyone reading this, they cannot rip off your nails, if they refuse to soak or buff off then get up & leave. Call around & ask nail techs how they remove nails & you’ll find someone who takes the time to do it correctly. I’ve lost four nails to nail techs doing it the “fast, so they can get more clients in way” & the other three were to fungus growing due to my natural nail trying to heal & being trapped under product & without your natural nail being able to breathe it’ll become infected. Hope this helps people, by scaring them, sorry😅 but don’t let it happen to you. It’s weeks/months of painful regrowth. And as always ❤ your helpful videos
I CANNOT believe this is a legitimate thing professional nail salons are doing I would kill somebody for abusing my hands like that.
@@WakeupgrandowlA few months ago I went into a salon for a new set, and the nail tech tried to rip the old tips off with a plastic debit card. 😭🥴 I ripped my hand back so fast. She was mad because I told her to soak them off the right way! I left a bad review and they banned me from the salon 😭😂
I live in the Midwest and mine uses an e-file to take off gel or acrylic. I am always STUNNED when I hear people's techs use dental floss. Noooooooooo. E-file!
Same for here in Arizona. I’m so sick of professional nail salons doing sloppy work and getting angry at the paying customer for asking for quality work.
I think so many nail techs in my area do this. For so long I didn’t even know you were supposed to file them down. When I would ask them to properly remove it, they would even roll their eyes or give me a hard time. They don’t actually care about the integrity of your nails, they just care about the next customer and getting everyone in and out quickly.
I have surgery tomorrow and I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to have nails on until I just had a phone call with my mum and she said. I am lucky enough to have had some hundred percent acetone lying around so I’m going to try and use it now. I’ve just watched your whole video and it was so helpful. Thank you so much for your help.
I lived in Ontario when I first started watching you a couple years ago. I took a break from my DIY nail journey as I had my 4th baby. Now I live in Alberta and am resuming my nail education. I just had the thought of "OMG! I'm only one province away from Suzie now!" I could realistically attend one of your workshops one day! It's definitely a dream of mine as you have helped me more than you know when it comes to acrylics. Thank you for all you do for us! ❤
I literally ripped mine off… then found your TH-cam channel. I wish I did more research. I haven’t had acrylic since early 2010s. I got them done and then realized I didn’t want them. But then I found some to do at home. I so glad I found your channel! ❤
Thank you so much for this video Suzie. I've been watching your videos not only to relax, but also figure out how to do my nails on my own. I live in an area where I don't have access to nail artists but want beautiful healthy nails. Thank you for your videos.
My nail tech always uses a nail tip to remove my acrylic nail. At times it would hurt and she would just tell me not to move my hand so much. The nail tech did not care about my comfort level, she just wanted to be sure she was getting money to put on a new acrylic set. She did not care about the health of my nails. I no longer go to get my nails done.
I've seen so many saying they use dental floss or something to pry them off ..I tell them every time DO NOT USE THAT METHOD.. YOURE TARING LAYERS OF YOUR NATURAL NAILS OFF . And it's always a good idea to do a base layer of clear to file down to rather that total removal every time because some change them every few days. And acetone is so harsh when used that often
As someone with ace tone sensitivity, I prefer the nail file/drill method! Great tip with having a base that you don’t remove!!
I went to a salon and they used a TIP to remove the nails!!!!!!!!! I was in so much pain and I just sat there and let them like a dummy!!!!
Thanks for this education. I trusted the nail salon to know what they were doing. They were aggressive taking the acrylics off with a plastic nail tip and my nail bed was so sore. They used the file thing too and it must have been too high because my nails were burning. I'm doing my own nails from now on. I'm educating myself first.
You just helped me out so so much. I am self teaching myself acrylics at home gm for me and my daughter. We both have damaged nails bc of bad techs. So learning how to remove safely is my #1 priority. Thank you so much.
I watched this video because I wanted my nails removed. Mind you, I've only had them filled less than two weeks. The person that did my nails I told her not too thick. I don't think she understood. Well, they were too thick and painful. Remarkably, one popped off. I'm glad I found your filing off method and soaking method. I used a combination of both, and it took me two hours still to get these off. My nail beds ache. I don't think I will be getting acrylics any time soon. Fine with me, I'll be saving money. I'll definitely baby my nails for now on.
Had a removable of acrylic nails. First soaked in acetone and then the nail tech used a nail tip to popped them off. It was painful and couple of my nails were sensitive. Thank you for sharing!
For soak offs, I invested in a cheap USB mug warmer on Amazon. It warms my coffee cup (because I hate cold instant coffee) and it doubles as an acetone warmer in colder months, haha. Best $20 I ever spent.
This is genuis
I just use the file off method out on the patio. Did all ten fingers. Going to put a new set on later. I've been doing nails for over 45 years. Will take me about 25 minutes to put a new set on and file! If I do somebody else it takes longer cuz I talk😂❤❤❤ thank you for the continued education you put out there for nail techs. It is crucial to keep the service safe for everyone.
45 years, nail extensions are that old?
Heating up the acetone really really helps! That's Suzie❤
Nail techs ripping off my nails is one reason I stopped getting them done. I would ask them to file them off and would get nothing but attitude.
This is why I stopped as well mine would use a tip and my nails would be so thin and painful and she would slap some more acrylic on top and finally I was like no more and now I do my own.
Me too! My fingers still throb at the thought of getting them ripped off
Thank you Susie for sharing this video! It’s good to know how to remove acrylic without damaging your own nails❤
Since I am a newbie at his I appreciate you so much. I feel I can be good with all these videos.
Hello my dear Friends!!! What a great video! I see a lot of people in my area that rip their acrylics and then complain the acrylic ruined their nails. I'm going to pass this video to a few of my Friends , hope you don't mind ❤💋
Awesome - thank you Cathy❤️
@@NailCareerEducation you are so welcome my dear Friend. Thank you for letting me share your video. I know of my some of friends used dental floss, other tools and did some damage to their nail plate. Then they tried to sue the salon for their damages to their nails. So thank you for this video!!
This uploaded while I was clipping off my gel topped nails‼️🤯😆
I'm a soaker! I use gel, but when it's time to take any product off, I get patient, get some coffee, turn on some Netflix and get to soaking. The one time I used a file, I went to far and scraped up my natural nail because I couldn't tell what was product and what was my nail plate lol
Hi! I’m not a nail tech whatsoever but what I like to do is use a coloured (usually light coloured) gel as a base coat so I know when I’m filing near my nail :)
This is my fear!!! I always heard hard gel can’t soak off but from your comment I’m wondering if that’s simply not true ?? What do you use to soak off your hard gel ??
@@morganpelosi1866 sorry,i know this isn't directed at me but just wanted to chime in and say that I have definitely soaked off hard gel before. Just make sure you break the seal well and it will soak off :)
Watch out with soaking too long and too often, you can create an allergy for the acetone or other product that you use to soak it off. 😄
@@ankeoosterhof6006 If I'm not allergic to it now, I won't suddenly become allergic....idk why people have a habit of spreading this false info around. Acetone dries the skin, yeah, but it's not allergic reaction. Soaking is safer than drilling for people who are inexperienced with drills.
I really love how you explain ☺️💕💕
Hello Susie I have learned so much from you no I am not a tech just doing this for myself still learning its been two years and I am getting better at it I love the hard gel I tried the soft gel like it but to runny tried dips love it I am having trouble with the paper fourms I haven't tried acrylic yet that's my biggest one yet but loving the hard gel I do have problems with tips sticking with base gel I use my dehydrator and my prime but it stays on some but like 2 or 3 pop off unless I add nail glue then it stays on but I love doing nails just got a hand trainer i was doing practice on me but ruined my nails but other than that love doing my nails. But you are my inspiration and you are absolutely amazing thank you for the lessons ❤
thank youuu, this timing is impressive
I like step number one. You are a Godsend thank you ❤
Thank you so much! You are just awesome and I have learned so much from you! I really appreciate you doing
Your videos are always so informative. Thank you. Could you please do a video with peel off base coat
I agree about the wait time to remove with acetone is a tedious process but I have to share a way that I was shown that if someone wants a total removal for whatever reason this worked very well for me. Just like you mentioned that warmth helps speed up the process. I would fill a large to medium bowl ( big enough to hold my hands)with quite warm water then put a couple pieces of paper towel in a large ziplock bag and pour about a 1/2 cup of acetone into the ziplock bag. Submerge the bottom of the bag in the warm water and place your hands into the paper towel soaked ( with acetone) and run your fingers into the paper towel. It’s just abrasive enough to run layers of product off in ( for me) about 10 min. ❤ love this video. Your looking great 😊
PS. I have even put a heating pad on low under the bowl of water to keep it warm.
Now is this effective for a FULL sculpted acrylic removal? Cause you certainly could do this for Gel Polish Removal
@@NailCareerEducation Yes this works well on Gel and Hybrid gel even Dip nail products. This is where I first saw this method used. I did however used this method much like you but on my acrylic nails. I filed the top layer down to open up the product like you and just submerged and rubbed the product off. IT worked. I used to soak off the submersible method like you demonstrated I wanted to try the zip bag method on my acrylics to see if it would work too. And it did. 🤷🏻♀️
i have to try this! i would have thought the acetone would eat through the ziplock baggie?!
My nail tech did this for me about 2 weeks ago. It was so friggin quick. I can confirm this method works really well
This is how I remove my acrylic, too! It works so well and there’s no damage to your natural nail✌🏾❤️
I'm very luck I came across your video I want to remove my acrylic nails. You are amazing thank you for sharing I'm now one of the subscribers ❤
This exactly that Video that i needed!!!!!!!!! Thank you for that!!!!!!❤❤❤
I love how excited you get about the visible acrylic at the bottom of the cup! I'm that way about dancing. Anyway, thank you for being my safe place during my paralysis episodes. And for inspiring the creation of my own channel. 🎉🎉🎉
I like her explaining and demeanor
I’m with Suzie on just filing down to my safety layer of acrylic…I can’t sit around with the soaking technique…it promotes me being hyperactive and not wanting to sit still for the process😂😂😂😂. Another great video Suzie❤
I've always wondered if prolonged exposure to acetone could be toxic?
@@andreapulver2127 That’s a good question. I do think it could break down the dexterity of the nail - maybe making it weaker???
SAME!! I can’t wait around with the soak off method. I always file nails off with my KUPA efile that I’ve had for 2-3 years no. Never any issues with it. Anyways, I always file it off to a super thin layer of acrylic and then I use a mandrel bit. I prefer this a lot and
dont like my skin being exposed and soaking in acetone. It just doesn’t
Seem right and it makes my skim
Feel very weird as it’s now ultra dry and just ew idk I hate that feeling when I tried soak off like twice. Never again. Takes too long anyways
Hi Suzie, love your videos-always informative and your so sweet and down to earth. 😊 I normally use gel on my nails but wanted to try acrylic. Can I keep the thin layer of gel and then put acrylic over? TY! 🙂
Oh wow! Your video is awesome! Now I know what to do! Great information and Thank You😊
I love this channel already!
Thank you Suzie this video was very helpful! Does this work for dip powder as well? I’m just starting to learn nails for real and I’m trying to decide between getting a nice dip kit or the apres gel system. I do like long nails but I have very sensitive skin/nails and the curing lights really hurt me. When I used dip in the past it was such a pain to remove.
😬 I'm guilty of removing my acrylic nails via soaking then lifting. I rarely get my nails done (less than once a year), so I never knew how to properly remove false bails without damage! Thank you!!!
Thank you, this video helped me alor🙏🏿😭
Thank you for this advice, Suzie !! Is there anything extra to do (file wise) if you have a lot of growth?
suzie please do a video on cubed thumbs! i have them and they are such a pain in the butt to do at home but i go to a salon and they can’t do it right either!!❤
such a pretty set of nails!!
Hi Suzie! Long time fan here. I was wondering what's the best way to clean and sanitize files?
Having a positive relaxingrelaxing space/environment can also truly be beneficial to not only you but also your clients also changing of how the space functions and works things like that make your client feel relaxed 😎including yourself truly helps immensely. Nice music in the background or having individual separate areas cubicles-Separate individual rooms if you own business space your own salon where there is separate space for you and your client away from all the noise that can get very loud in salons if you build a business around having separate Areas almost like doctors offices but not boring and dull but like separate breakdown of spaces in your salon “ for example, kind of like Imosa lines of the year separate area, or a separate type of additional business that you add to your own like someone pacifically does waxing would be put in a separate part of the space a room or somewhere in the salon” basic, same concept, but a separate space for each individual nail tech in their client in your nail salon -business where it will instantly eliminate all that horrendous amount of noise and things like that an in thee quaint, beautiful nail room space that separated from the whole salon, the clients on oasis where you can give your clients phenomenal top notch experience you ask if they want to listen to music or watch something or maybe just share their day with you and speak about how their life is going or what have you Pour them a beverage where you have at least three options And this will help both you and the client have a amazing experience and atmosphere 🫶🏾👊🏾🎨💅🏽💕
As you grow and evolve as a business, there are all kinds of amazing ideas and things that you can do to improve the workspace for yourself, your clients, and if there is any others working in or around, you which will create a very positive environment that only will just grow your business From there on out 🫶🏾
Very good! Thank you ❤️
Those glitter nails look amazing! 😍 where can I get glitter like yours? 😍
Your a life saver
Hi Susie thanks for all the great videos! Will this method of filing off product work for hybrid gel? I am learning how to do my nails myself and I do not have an e-file yet.
I did that constantly and it ruined My Natural Nail. I had to keep them off let My Nails grow back. I added collagen and biotin to My Daily Vitamins and it helped so much in the growth.
I have a question 🙋🏻♀️… should I change the acetone for each nail or just reuse the same one for each nail?
U are awesome thank you so much ❤️
All of the nail salons in SW Florida that I've gone to remove gel nails using a new tip and it does hurt badly sometimes as the gel is still secured to the nail bed. I understand the tech probably wants to get customer nails done as fast as possible, but they need to be gentle. I feel like I paid them to torture my nails.
I've also had nail techs burn my nail with the gel and cut my cuticle with the hand file when shaping my nails. The only time I've seen them soak off the gel and use the electric drill to remove them is if the customer has dip nails.
Love it ❤
❤❤❤thanks 😊
Thank you so much 🌷
I haven’t had much success with soaking even when I used pure acetone 🤷🏻♀️ Don’t know why it never occurred to me to just file them off and away 🥸 Got myself the most coarse file I could find and about 25 mins later, my super long grown-out acrylics were nothing but a pile of powder on my porch. So glad I found your channel! 💅🏼
It’s the BEST way ! FILE ALL THE WAY 😊
Great video.
Great idea to leave a thin layer of clear or pinkish layer of acrylic or dip powder to save and preserve your real nails.
Doing your nails on a regular bases, and having to roughen the the surface of your nails, thins them out each and every time.
Do you have any recommendations for a salon quality gel nail lamp? And what gel products do you recommend? I’ve been recently seeing a lot of videos about an acrylic allergy that comes about from at home gel manicures.. any thoughts? Anything will help me!!
I want to do this because my nails need a little break from acrylic. If Im going to file can I use a glass file? I love them for just filing my nails.
What are your thoughts on when they remove your nails by soaking / file / soaking / file / soaking , etc.? I used to not know any better so I thought the jamming a tip down in between was the only method, but the places I go to now do the soak/file/soak/file method. Is that considered appropriate and safe?
This is my 2nd set of nails ever and the 1st set they removed by ripping the nail off. It ruined my nails so bad i had to go to a different salon and get another set put on. I never went back to the other place. It hurt and he cut my finger in the process of removal. I will definitely do this method with this new set I have now.
Thank you for these tips. My real nails are as long as my acrylics now so it's time to take them off. Do you find it now difficult to do your left hand, since you're right handed as well? ... subscribed 😊
I wish I saw this video when my acrylic nails decided to lift off and take most of my beautiful natural nails. I can't afford to go to my nail salon the cost is getting ridiculous but I trust them it is just like my hairdresser I don't trust anyone but her. Sorry just went off the topic. I managed to salvage some of my nails (they were so soft and thin I literally cried) but the ones that didn't lift properly I soaked and having no acetone on hand I had to deal with just filing the darn left over gunk. Roll on this morning 2 nails down 8 more to go to make them look semi normal. My natural nails grow alot when I have acrylics but now I am going to leave them off as I think 4 months is just too long to have them on. Thank you for your info and I am happy that I found your channel.
I have been getting my nails done for the first time in 10 years and when I went to have them removed for a new set the nail tech took a nail tip to remove them and it hurt and it messed my natural nails up! Never again will i let them do that! This is much better and more effective than ripping them off!!
Can you please do a video on proper and improper ways to restore nail polish consistency?
I was trying to rip off my acrylic nails, and one moment I felt like my natural nails were going to come out. Thank God I came here to watch this. O dear, you saved me.
Okay removal question so say gel polish or other enhancements etc the layers like base coat etc how do you know if you’ve removed them? Their clear so they blend right in with your natural nail which is obviously the point but sometimes I feel I don’t file enough or too much trying to figure it out. I used to wear gel all the time I do it at home but this kinda the only thing I’ve been stuck on and really damaged my nails going too far onto my natural nail I think. Live and learn but now I know dos and donts.
So question… I noticed some brands (Kiara Sky for example) have cover acrylic powder and color acrylic powder. What is the difference between the two, and in what circumstances do you use each one?
How often should i replace my files? and do you ship worldwide? i live in the netherlands and am definately concidering a new fresh set of files!
What polish/glitter are you wearing?! They’re gorgeous!
Have you ever tried a peel off basecoat? I use it for my acrylic nails and it removes this process! It allows me to change my nails at least weekly :)
Hi! Is there a brand you recommend? And do you have any nail pop offs? Do you have to cure?
Can you do a video on nail tool hygiene? Even just for DIY I wonder if I should be sanitizing my pusher, nippers and such
New to nail techniques here...i have a question pls...Will filing immediately after soaking, damage the nails as the natural nail would also be soaking the liquid and thus become soft? 😮
Nice tip
What about the remover that you paint on your nails and it causes the gel polish to bubble up. It's kinda like using paint stripper on a piece of furniture, sort of.
“I’m gonna get this cute little jar” *pulls out shot glass* 😂
Hi,, u know the acid tone, do u have too put individual nail in cup or u can put all 5 fingers and thumb together in the salutation, plz explain, xxx
Before I developed an allergy to gel and acrylic I was going to one salon for acrylics and one day the tech used a tip to remove a couple nails. I never stepped foot in there again.
Miz, how can you tell when you reach your thin layer of acrylic and when you're filing the natural nail? Cause honestly I can't tell the difference 😂
Thank you for the videos! They're very useful ❤
I have got a nail soaker you put hot water underneath and acetone on top then it comes off quicker
I have acrylic extensions how do I take the extension off that was glued on
Hey, I have got tip extension’s under my acrylics so can I still use these methods?
I’m just starting to learn all this (I’m 28 I’m so embarrassed to admit my lack of knowledge on nails) where do you purchase those files? I only had a super fine, terrible file 😅
Hi Suzie thanks for this video but one question I have? That u said u file 95 % but some time client don't want to refill than they want complete clean nails than how to remove product.?
I love the colors of this, what's a beautiful glitter to it is fun studies nails in square shaped, coffin shape Sqoval stiletto shaped Nails. Using different colors of the rhinestone, different large and medium stones more like Jenny does that would be fun 🎉🙋🏻♀️🥰👌🏼❤️🥇💛🎉🖤💛❤️💯‼️ I hope you have a wonderful week thank you for making that fun and a great learning tool
Thank you Susie. I have thyroid issues and very thin, brittle nails. I have resorted to doing my own mostly because I couldn’t stand the damage that was done to my natural nails when the nail tech did them. And there was no point in arguing with him/her about their technique because they didn’t speak English. Very frustrating. I’ll never go back.
Not all nail techs are like that
hello Suzy, I'm wondering .. To shorten your nail , why not use nail clippers or nail pliers ?
How can you see if your to the natural nail?
Great info Suzie! Thank you! I have seen the ones that you do not recommend! UGH
I may have missed this in the comments but could you combine these ways? Like use a file to take off most of the acrylic and then use acetone to completely remove the thin layer that’s left?
What's the best way to remove custom press-ons? I'm using full cover tips with gel polish as well as a layer of builder gel for strength before top coat. I've been using a mix of soaking off and filing with my e-file on the lowest setting with a sanding band. But sometimes I do pop them off if they're lifting after soaking them in the acetone. Is that as bad as popping off a loose acrylic? Just want to make sure I'm not damaging my natural nails and that I'm using the recommended technique. Thanks!
Most hard gel you need to file cause it can’t be soaked off - so becareful you could be pulling too much - if it’s Hybrid you can soak. But filing is good to just leave a thin layer to protect
I’ve had nail techs remove by popping off the acrylic with nail clippers or an orange stick! Very painful!! Unfortunately, that is very common in this area.😢
THANKS, MOM ❤
What oil do you use?
