I can confirm that there is very little health risk with proper gel nails or good acrylic, but MMA is a harmful substance. However, if the nail technician is wearing a mask this is not necessarily a sign that MMA is being used.  If you feel uncomfortable in a nail salon I would recommend you do ask the technician for a mask to put on, but it is not essential and in normal circumstances it is perfectly safe

Im almost 11 weeks pregnant, and one to keep my nails done and my hair highlighted. I spoke w/my dr about the risks of having my hair nails done and they said I needed to wait till after the first trimester was over and if I did do it, to do it in well ventlated areas. I know the fumes are harmfull with having your figernails done, but with hair are you more at risk because its your hair and its going into your body?? Im just curious and wonder what everyone else done while they are/were pregnant. Its not a big deal for me to let it go, im just curious.

Your only concern would be contracting a fungus infection, which is very common with artificial fingernails.  Check out this article here; http://www.beautiful-healthy-fingernails.com/acrylic-nails-and-pregnancy.html
