Does anyone know how to take off acrylics with out going to a salon because my salon doesn't take them off...

This is what I use to do:
Take one nail off (usually there's a nail that will come off pretty easy) then I use that nail to kind of slice the others off. My old nail tech use to use a new acrylic nail to do the same.
I hope you understand lol I'm not so good at explaining some things

Soak them in pure acetone nail polish remover for a little bit then file them off.

Wiggle them around after you soak them in hot salt water. That should loosen them up. Then you could use nail clippers or a metal nail file to gently pry them off.

Prying them off is really bad for your nails! It pulls off layers of your really nail along with the acrylic and it usually hurts! Use a thick grit nail file to file down the top layer of each nail. Soak each hand in a cup of enough acetone to cover every part of each nail. Leave in cup for 10-20 minutes or until you can see it getting softer and flaky looking. File gently and soak again until all of it is off. Be careful the closer you get to your real nails, you may want to use a finer grit file the closer you get to your real nails so you avoid as much damage as possible
