Although I've been getting my fusion done by the same lady for years, it's been getting really expensive and I just can't afford it anymore. 

A friend offered to help me put in the current weave and it looks sorta OK but I'm not thrilled and don't want to hurt her feelings by asking her to take it out. 

So I want to take it out myself but when I bought some acetone from Walmart I noticed it wasn't breaking the bonds very fast and not nearly as fast or efficiently as my former pro did it.  She seemed to zip it right off.

Is there a better place to buy it or a better product to use?  Does Sally's have a better brand?  Can acetone get old?  Why did it take me so long?
Is it possible you can get even a higher percentage of acetone than 100%?  The bottle says I got 100%.

Is there a good place to buy it online?

I have my stylist's license so I can buy professional quality acetone which seems to always works great and very fast but Sally's has a very good quality brand.  It's possible you may just need practice doing the removal.  The more you do, the faster they seem to go.  Your pro probably bought professional brand which may or may not have worked better.  Hard to say for sure.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)

You can get it at a hardware store :) Make sure the bonds are supper saturated when you crush.
