What is the difference between acrylic and fiberglass nails at salons?

When getting sculptured nails, what is the difference between acrylic and fiberglass, which one is better and why?What is the difference between acrylic and fiberglass nails at salons?
Fiberglass nail wraps are good for people with weak, soft, ot bitten nails. However, they are not as strong as acrylic nails, and are not a good choice for people who use their hands a lot as they will easily break apart on this type of person. They are also requested by people who are allergic to acrylic nails, or those who have a fear of acrylics ruining their nails. But overall, acrylic is definitely stronger, and more durable than fiberglass nail wraps will ever be. The one and only reason that they are often more expensive than acrylic nails is because they take so long to apply. It can take several hours to wrap the nails on both hands. Acrylic can be applied in an hour or so. Thus, the price difference that you will sometimes see but that is not always the case.And if they are more expensive, the difference is quite a small sum.

I didn't mean that fiberglass nails were bad for everyone, and I'm glad they are working out well for you. It sounds like you made a good choice :-) Report Abuse

i think fiberglass are slightly better for your nails as they allow the nail to breathe which makes them less brittle when you eventually have them removed
The difference between Acrylic %26amp; Fibreglass is basically the strength. Fibreglass is much stronger than Acrylic, and is less prone to cracks and breaks... That is why Fibreglass is generally more expensive.





If you have a small nailbed, you are better getting Fibreglass, however it is entirely up to you. Ask your nail lady if you have any queries!
