Is it possible to have maintain acrylic nails without using the drill during the manicure?

All most every nail salon uses drills to file b/c its fast, but when you actually go to cosmetology school you learn to do nails with files only. (well in Oklahoma you do) But there are salons that do acrylics with regular files and dont use drills, just expect to be there a little longer for a fill or new set, but it could be worth saving your real nails.Is it possible to have maintain acrylic nails without using the drill during the manicure?
Yes, but the nails still need to be filed and sometimes you can do just as much damage with the file as with the drill. What you need to do is to find someone who is willing to not drill too deep. That is the key so that your nails stay healthy underneath. Good luck.
