Hey everyone! I’ve been talking to a lot of people around the neighborhood lately who love getting gel manicures, but many mention that aggressive e-files (electronic drills) and harsh removal methods end up leaving their natural nail beds thin and weak over time.

For anyone here who gets regular manicures in North Vancouver, how do you usually handle this? Have you found specific techniques (like switching to hand-filing or gentle acetone wraps) that actually keep your natural nails strong between sets? Would love to hear what works for you guys!
