Which procedure is NOT performed during an acrylic maintenance service?

Filing the nails
Applying primer twice
Rebalancing the acrylic
Buffing the surface

The correct answer is: Applying primer twice

In an acrylic maintenance service, procedures are typically designed to maintain the integrity and appearance of the nails. One common practice is the application of primer, which is essential for ensuring proper adhesion of the acrylic to the natural nail. However, applying primer twice is not a standard procedure. Generally, primer is applied once during the initial application and may not be reapplied unless there is a specific need, such as inadequate adhesion. Filing the nails is a regular part of maintenance to shape the acrylic and keep it looking neat. Rebalancing the acrylic helps in managing the growth of the natural nail and maintaining an even thickness and aesthetic appeal. Buffing the surface is also crucial as it smooths out imperfections and enhances the shine of the acrylic nails. Thus, the option of applying primer twice does not align with typical maintenance practices, making it the correct choice for the procedure that is not performed during an acrylic maintenance service.
