How much pain should one expect from having acrylic nails put on professionally?

Asked by tranquilsea (17775points) December 3rd, 2010

For the first time in my life I have had false acrylic nails put on. The esthetician really reefed on my fingernails. She ended up cutting into my cuticle a bit too much and caused it to bleed and her enthusiastic filing slightly separated one of my fingernails from the nail bed. Now, some 5 hours later, the tips of all my fingers hurt like hell.

Now I know that the bleeding and the nail bed separation should not have happened and I am not ever going back. But is it normal for your finger tips to ache like crazy?
