Question
I recently moved and had to go to a new nail salon to have my acrylic nails filled. The technician is recommending that I switch to the uv gel nails. What are the benefits and is the price $80 compared to $40 for acrylics pretty reasonable?

Answer
Karen-
Well, the benefits are they are more flexible,stay super shiny and thin, you can polish on top of them take it off and they are super shiny, you can get them in color for a semi perm polish.
$80 is a little high but if she is including removal of the acrylic then that is competitive. Ask why so much.
Good Luck
