Not recommended - maybe I just had a bad experience, but went in for shellac removal and the nail tech 1) did not remove correctly and had to do it twice and 2) filed through my nail! It was super painful and really put a damper on ever coming back here. It seems to be super hit or miss depending on which nail tech you get, but it was obvious the woman that worked on my nails was inexperienced. Plus now I am stuck with a painful nail - hoping it grows out quickly!
