I’m getting a hard gel manicure this Sunday with a new nail tech and need to find a place that will do just a file off removal of my current hard gel set.

I’m kind of concerned about being able to get a good, non-rushed removal since I’m not going to get a manicure, polish or anything. I don’t want to assume someone would do a rush, potentially damaging job, but I feel like it wouldn’t be much of an enticing appointment to a nail shop.

Any ideas or recommendations? The only thing I’ve thought about is just booking some kind of hand massage upcharge to sort of make it clear ahead of time I’m intending to leave a big tip.

I know I'm probably already boxed in for being so particular but I'm trying to book our honeymoon and I'd love to be able to go via ITA because they have a direct flight to Rome from my city. We've got enough CX miles to cover the flight but I'd really love to go in premium economy for once in my life haha.

I saw that very recently ITA became part of Star Alliance. There are CX mile transfer programs that I can use with other airlines on Star Alliance right? Would I just transfer straight to Star Alliance directly and book with them or is there a step in the middle I am missing?

If it isn't obvious I feel like I have zero clue as to what I'm doing. I find the points gamifying websites really overwhelming and I'm hoping someone here can do an explain like I'm 5 situation here. Thank you!!
