Growing up I only ever got my nails done for school dances. Now that I am an adult with adult money, I have been getting my nails done pretty regularly for about a year. It took quite a few different shops to find a nail tech whose work I really like.

A few appointments ago when they were doing my fill, they noticed a green spot on one of my nails. They told me not to worry about it and that it would just grow out. I said okay, not knowing what it was. Then again at the next appointment, they had found another one with another green spot. Again, they told me its normal and that it will grow out. I asked what was caused it. They said it was just from water getting under my nails and that its normal. Well now again for the third time, there is another new spot on another new nail and again was told its okay to just cover it up. I told them during this appointment that I had to set my next appointment with someone else because of plans I had made which changed my availability. They immediately turned down the idea of me seeing someone else and said they were going to adjust their bookings to accommodate me. My gut was telling me that I should look more into this green nail situation.

From what I am gathering, they should have told me the first time around that they wouldn't do my nails until the first green spot grew out. Call me dumb but I didnt realize its a bacterial infection.

Now here is the thing, this nail tech does great work, I really enjoy it. I cant tell if its their application thats the reason I'm getting so many greenies. Or if it is the fact that I do a lot of wet work at my job every single day.

I need help. Obviously I will be having this set removed, but should I start seeing a new tech or should I just be more mindful of my nails and speak up if I get another greenie?

I am going on vacation next month and my fiance and I are stopping in Allentown Pa on our way back home so he can visit old friends and family. I'm look to make an appointment at a bridal boutique in the area, maybe two. If anyone of you have any reccomendations on shops with a nice selection that fall within the 3.5k-4k price range, I would appreciate it!

Also, if any of you have had an appointment at Kleinfeld before how was your experience? I made an appointment and have since seen a lot of negative experiences shared so I am considering cancelling my appointment.
