The acrylic comes in two kinds, odorless and regular. Odorless is obviously more expensive so they say to avoid salons as much as possible. I tty and go in the middle of the week right when they open so that I'm the only one there so all the chemicals aren't in the air yet and I stay away from acrylic because my friend is a cosmetologist and they taught her in school that being exposed to the odors of the acrylic chemicals can cause problems in pregnancy.
