I've gone for years and have never had a problem.
Do you have back up for your "many people" who have died from going to a nail salon?
One would assume you can use the internet and are not confined to DCUM. Search.
One could also assume you could provide a link for such a claim.

If you are one of the few who gets professional gel manicures that are always pale pink, rounded short nails 💅🏽 then good news: you can do this at home for $1.50/week in supplies. No need to get a $40 salon job for this look.
OP here
Can you share what products you use? I cook and clean a lot so regular polish does stay on my hands.
I don’t polish my nails—I buff them. Problem solved.
So you really don't have anything for OP.

You can easily remove gel nails at home.

I’m paying $59 plus tip in McLean- $72 total. So, could be worse.

Yet my nail tech is putting her son through college working part time.

Not PP.
But I've had great success with Essie from the drugstore. Even their quick dry (Expressie) lasts about a week on me.
I use the gel-like topcoat and almost always get a week out of it.
Op it's gotten so expensive. I used to go every few weeks.

I could do that, but I like the professional look and want my manicure to last. I don't have tips, but gel over my natural short nails.

I pay $45 every two weeks, including tip. I love having beautiful nails - they’re my one beauty indulgence and make me happy. I get different colors, so it’s not always the same, moreover, with three kids and a busy home life, I’d rather spend the hour it takes out of the house and get it done right.
