During an acrylic maintenance service, which procedure is NOT performed?

Refine the apex
Hold abrasive flat
Apply primer twice
Use nail dehydrator

The correct answer is: Apply primer twice

During an acrylic maintenance service, applying primer twice is not a standard procedure. The primary purpose of primer is to enhance adhesion between the natural nail and the acrylic product. Typically, a single application of primer is sufficient for a reliable bond. Reapplying it is not only unnecessary but could also lead to potential issues such as over-saturation, which can harm the nail bed or affect the overall integrity of the acrylic enhancement. In contrast, refining the apex helps maintain the structure and strength of the acrylic nail, while holding the abrasive flat ensures even filing and reduces the risk of damaging the natural nail. Using a nail dehydrator is also a common practice before applying primer, as it ensures the nail surface is properly prepared by removing moisture and oils, thus enhancing adhesion.
