Bloomin’ ‘eck. How do I know if they know what they are doing? What happened to you? |

Insist that you’d rather they file/buff nails by hand, or check they would be willing to do so beforehand. I’m still growing out a fetching set of ridges on my nails from a manicure in June (almost there now!) |

It's really easy to damage the nail bed with a Dremel - I have been bruised by a podiatrist before now, let alone a nail bar. I think it might be to do with the speed though, like a dentists drill and I definitely felt discomfort at the time. |

"Do they simply sort out broken, stained and overworked nails? An old fashioned manicure without all that painting and polishing and fake stuff?"
Apparently there is a product you can get from Sally Hansen called Nail rehab that sorts out the staining on your nails..

Yes be careful of the electrical files, my one nail was badly damaged by one salon I went to as they filed it so thin and it took me ages to get it growing again. X |
