MMA is the smallest methacrylate molecule used, hence the powerful odors associated with these illegal nail products. For discount salons, cost outweighs the safety factors. While MMA monomer may cost less to buy, the health risks are more costly in the long run. The sad thing is many times the salon techs have no idea that the MMA liquid is dangerous or that is, in fact, what they are using. Salons that are identified as using MMA products are at risk for citation, fines and even loss of licensing.
Many salons hide the containers in the back, or refill brand containers.
Drill Use should never be damaging or painful. All operators must be licensed and the license should be visibly posted Proper Sanitation Methods should be used Inquires should be answered in a professional and educated manner Salons using MMA will probably not inform you of the potential dangers. We the professional salons in your area want you, the consumer to understand the importance of this issue. Improper removal of MMA nails can be painful and damaging. Professional removal is recommended.
