Since when is getting nails done $180?!

Hi all, so I took a long break like 1.5 years from getting my nails done, I used to go to the nail salon every 3 weeks, always would get acrylic tips sometimes with gel color on top. I kinda miss having long nails so the other day I was calling a couple of salons to make an appointment and someone tell me how in the world has the price jumped to like $90-$180 to get a full set of acrylic nails. Nothing fancy, just medium length and one color! (I did it anyway) Have any of you tried any at home alternatives that actually look good and last at least 1 week?

... Read moreThe cost of getting your nails done has seen dramatic increases over the past few years, with full sets of acrylics now ranging from $90 to $180. This surge is largely due to increased demand for nail services and the rising costs of supplies in the beauty industry. Salons are also adapting to extra costs associated with sanitation protocols following health guidelines. As nail art continues to grow in popularity, many clients are left wondering how to manage their beauty budgets effectively. To save costs, many are turning to at-home nail kits that offer professional-grade results without the hefty price tag. Brands like Dashing Diva, Kiss, and Sally Hansen have developed easy-to-use press-on nails and gel kits that can last up to two weeks, giving you that salon-quality look at a fraction of the cost. Have you tried any DIY methods? Tips from fellow beauty enthusiasts can help you achieve that long-lasting manicure while keeping expenses down.

I use press ons (glamnetic usually or kiss) and I get compliments but you can also try local at home techs?
