Will a salon turn me away if I have green spots on my nails?

Discussion/Question

Hello! I wore press on nails and recently took them off to reveal greenies underneath. I’m aware they aren’t contagious if they’re properly buffed and dried and are now just technically a stain but my question is would a salon turn me away?

I ask because I have my graduation pictures in a week so I need to get my nails done, but two of the spots are really dark (there’s like five but three of them are super small and light) so I’m worried about going to the appointment I booked in 5 days and them seeing that, and then turning me away. I don’t want to inconvenience them or embarrass myself.

Either way I need to cover the spots and get my nails done somehow. Should I just get press ons again or paint my own nails?
