Whats the most embarrassing thing you have either said or done in front of a client ?
I once sneezed which means i turned away from my client and the force of the sneeze made me fart quite loudly :o so my bottom was in firing range of the clients head
The client was very good natured about it but i mortified :D

You will not believe this to be true but I said it. I was at a clients house and she lived with her mum. Her mum is from what I can see a bit of an aging party girl and while the hi-lights developing she was getting me and he daughter to look at her lastest escapades on a facebook album. she said "look at my friend, he dressed up as a naughty school girl". The picture was what I thaught was two trannys I said "omg those two guys look like they would be great fun to go out with". She turned around and said the other one isnt a man, its me! I had to mutter about blurry pics and being so tired etc. So awful... I only went back there a couple times and then the girl moved out and didnt have me come any more. It was the most imbarrising moment with a client ever, wished the ground could have swallowed me up x

I've had several but the most recent was when we had a faucet malfunction in the nail spa. The whole "face" of the fixture came off and it created a jet affect when you turned on the faucet. It literally shot water all the way across the nail spa. But we had to use it to clean our implements. We just had to pay very close attention to how we turned it on.
Well, I wasn't paying close attention when I walked up to it and turned it on full blast. Water shot all the way across the nail spa and hit one of the nail techs sitting clear on the other side of the room. Worse part is, it hit two clients directly in the face who were sitting in pedicure stations.
One of the clients laughed hysterically as I handed her a towel for her face and hair. The other acted as if she just received a gun blast to the face. Bad? It gets worse.
When I see the look on this client's face (a matronly, sour-faced woman), I rush over with a towel to assist. As she dries her face, I just start wiping her off. As you do in these circumstances, you look around, laugh and joke to make light of the situation...when an awkward silence comes over the nail spa.
I turn to the client who is staring down at her breasts, which apparently I have spent an inordinant amount of time rubbing. :o

Gr8nailz you always guarantee to make me proper belly laugh with your comments, I have tears streaming down my face, that's so funny! Worst I've done so far is spit on a client when I was talking, but I only started a few months ago. Still embarassing tho xxx
Well I had a pretty embarassing moment yesterday - the salon was completely full and I was doing Minx on a client, in full view of about 10 people. So I half stood up to reach something and went to sit back on my stool but it rolled back and I totally missed! Ended up on my bum with legs in air and stuff flying everywhere! I swear I could still hear people giggling half an hour later :o

Now I really am laughing!!! Didnt I tell you to make them last??!! I really do feel bad....surely you must be able to buy british chocolate there no? If not then we need to get some kind of campaign going....perhaps it was low blood sugar that induced you to rub a clients breasts????

About 10 yrs ago when I was working mobile and I went to a client house where there were several friends who would get together each month for a list of treatments together. Pamper party.
They were a good bunch of wrens and used to help me set up my couch. They used to take turns at each others house and I'd not been to this house before.
This particular time we set the couch up and it was on a wooden floor. I was doing an eyelash tint and the other girls were sat in the room chatting whilst the tint developed. Suddenly the couch collapsed, I saw it go and grabbed my client and couch.
She was fine and everyone was in hysterics apart from me of course. The end that the wren had helped me with, on the couch, hadn't been locked so the legs gave way. Not that it was her fault at time, I should've checked.
I was mortified but they were all laughing and very forgiving. It was a very valuable lesson for me though but one of my most embarrassing that's for sure. I will never forget that and still have the same couch though I don't do mobile anymore. If I go to a friends or family member and use my couch I always always double check everything's locked myself.

This happened to me today... the weather has been sooo muggy and I suffer with terrible hayfever, so I've been dripping from my eyes, nose, forehead - everything.
I had 3 ladies for acrylics in a house where there was only one window in a cramped living room.
I was working so hard, and they were all very quiet (awkward).
I could feel myself getting nervous, and I was already hot. Usually when I'm uncomfortable I choose an appropriate moment to tell the client to go and wash their hands or grab me something like a drink so I can dab my forehead/wipe my nose etc but there were 3 of them so no escape! So I just carried on and prayed to god the room cooled down. No such luck, apparently.
I could feel the sweat beading on my face.
I could feel the drip forming on the tip of my nose.
Then I felt my client flinch as it dripped on her.
THANK GOD noone saw, I blamed it on my brush being too loaded with monomer (???) and mumbled something about flicking her by accident. They were none the wiser but I was horrified. Absolutely horrified.
Oh the shame....

Was walking across a kitchen in a clients the other day while she was under the dryer and slid from one end of the room to te other, into a carton of milk on the side, the lid popped off and soaked everywhere, not thinking she jumped up to help me as smacked her head on the front of the dryer, we spent the rest of the time laughing it all off as we had both been clumsy, then she came out with the really old saying as I left " don't be crying over spilled milk tonight" glad some have a good sense of humour xoxo

I was helping a client the other day pick out shampoo well id been sitting down just before then and I guess my shirt had got caught. I looked down mid sentence and I saw it! My shirt on one one side was pulled down under my bra! My bra was a bit snug so needless to say it was very close :eek: I tryed pulling my shirt up but grabbed my bra instead and pinched myself (oooohh god) the lady (luckly a regular).reached over and pulled my shirt up and said,
"wow! Those are nice, you know now that iv seen them me and my friends(they come in aswel) were wondering if they were real? you must have a hell of a time finding a bra."
I was so shocked all I could say was "oh umm thanks I grew them myself"
I rang her up bright red in the face and I just wanted to diieeee!
LIKE GO HOME AND DIEE! I have never been so ashamed, I was shaking! Who knows how long I had been like that! What if other clients saw ooohhh I just cringe everytime I think back. GREAT IM ASHAMED ALL OVER AGAIN!

I was doing a pedicure and was using the Footsie Spa and said to my client, 'Now I'm just gonna turn your vibrator on.'
She looked really shocked and I was like, 'Not like a sexual vibrator, I mean the vibrations on the foot spa!' which just made it worse! I'm a bloody idiot sometimes and SOO ditzy it's unreal! Lol.
I ended up just changing the subject and we pretended it never happened! Lol. :)

We had a client who popped a complimentary sweet in her mouth, from the bowl on the reception desk.
Unfortunately it was a mini-soap sample.
The thing that made made me lose control was the way the poor lady tried to pretend it hadn't happened, while foaming at the mouth :eek:

I am very ditzy so there are lots of moments... But the worst has to be a few years ago when my regular client asked if I could quickly paint her nails while her facial mask was on... Okay no problem! After a lovely massage, I applied the mask, took hold of her hand and as I went to sit down on my stool (with wheels on laminate flooring!!!) it skid from beneath me but since I still had hold of her hand & the bed didn't have the break on - my poor client ended up being spun half way round the room with me as I hit the floor!!!! haha I'm glad she seen the funny side!

When I was doing my level 3 hairdressing at college, one of the tasks we had to do was supervise the level 1 students in the salon environment. I was showing one of the students how to shampoo, and as I was talking her through it, I cupped my hand around the clients hairline as I was rinsing it off, and said to the student, 'make sure when you're rinsing, you cup your hand round so you don't get any water on the FORESKIN'!!!! :eek:
I meant to say forehead or skin, and came out with a combination of both!! LOL:lol:
The worst part was, I didn't realise I'd said it, and there was a few seconds of silence from the client and student, until the client burst out laughing, and then I realised!! I was so embarrassed!! lol

I'm in fits of laughter reading these!! I'm extremely clumsy so I've had way too many embarrassing moments... For instance the time I was analyzing a clients skin in a facial with the magi lamp, tried to move it but instead it dropped and whacked the client
In the head! :( I apologized profusely, luckily she had a giggle about it and wasn't too traumatized! Then there were a few times (yes this happened more than once...) where I was doing a Brazilian on a client, went to remove the wax...lost hold of the piece of wax which went flying and whacked my client in the face!!

Was in work recently talking about roast dinners with a very senior manager I'd never met before (who was standing in for regular manager). I was thinking about cooking a roast that evening as I hadn't done one for a while, and announced:
"I think I may just go home tonight and knock one out!"
OMG I haven't blushed for MANY years! Luckily the guy just laughed, and said "and I've only just met you"!
Speechless
I have to share this as I was mortified. I was doing a lady's luxury pedicure. She didn't want any magazines or drinks or to chat, just staring at her feet while I was doing it. I tried the usual easy jokes but there was no chat to get out of her so I kinnda gave up.
I have hay fever and my nose was a bit runny but nothing major, I thought I was in control. As i was doing her foot and leg massage under her careful eye -my nose dripped on her foot.....For 2 long minutes I didn't take my eyes off her feet, hoping and praying she didn't see it and I've continued with my massage. Then I gracefully turned, picked up a tissue off the trolley and gave it a wipe, poked at her with a smile, she looked blanked at me -I can't tell if she's seen it or not. And I continued...
I was so embarrassed and so felt so down afterwards...

This thread quite honestly makes my day everytime I read it! :)
I had a new client in a few months ago, she was telling me about how she works as a model and how much fun it is even though she's older. I blurted out "that's fun, do you have a real job?" I could have died!! I spent the next 5min trying to make it sound better but it didn't work. Luckily she didn't take offense

The worst that's happened to me is trying to suppress a fart (you know the kinda ones you know are going to be so loud!) whilst doing a clients hair....well, was doing so well until I dropped my comb and bent over to pick it up......
Done the usual, whacking them round the head with the various tools and implements I'm using.

I was doing a spray tan and asked the lady to move her hand to the side and she didn't so I went to grab her hand and pop in to the side... In the process I brushed past her nipple !!!! I was mortified I said "oooops sorry, you can have that for free, I won't charge you extra! Don't be telling all your friends about the extras though, they'll all be wanting freebies haha" I don't know what possessed me to say it! It was embarrassing enough that I'd done it let alone started talking about it as an "extra" haha! Luckily she was an old friend (who I hadn't seen for years !!!) and we both found it hilarious!!! Haha x
While doing a full head foils and the back ones are ready I've recently found myself saying
"go to the backwash and have your underneath rinsed"
I do not know why on earth I say it and every time I do I go red and start mumbling. Just slips out sometimes

I had a new client the other day who had spent an hour telling me about her curtain making.
There was an awkward silence whilst removing her shellac and I said "so what do you do for a living?" "I just told you... I make curtains." "Oh, sorry! So that's your real job?"
She looked at me absolutely mortified, I felt really guilty! I honestly thought it was her hobby :/

Something kinda embarrassing happened yesterday. Was Minxing a client and an awkward silence occurred so without thinking I asked her the first thing I could think of.
Me: Do you like the walking dead?
Her: What?!!! *cracks up laughing*
Of course I meant The Walking Dead TV series that's on FX (fox) thats due back on in October but she'd never heard of it and just thought I was randomly asking her if she liked zombies & the living dead or something! It must have sounded so random.
Also a song came on and I was like, oh I like this song, it reminds me of the haunted house section in Super Mario Bros. Once again my client in stitches thinking I'm either a mentalist or just really random. Also note this was a first time client! Lol.

This wont match up to some of the funnies on here but I was talking to a client whilst doing her acrylics... I'm trying to learn the art of listen, talk but get the job done.
Shes telling me that by the time she was 21 she had two children and a mortgage and trying to seem like i'm interested I say 'You must have been busy!' :eek: I meant busy with two small children not the art of creating them :lol:
The silence was deafening

Well I've really done it today lol. Was doing a manicure for a new client. My chair because it's leather whenever I lean forward it does a farting sound. I laughed and told her that it does that, she didn't mind thought it was the chair anyway
Well not 5min later I dropped a file on the floor, bent down off my chair to pick it up and I farted quite loudly. My client turns around and says "that chair is really bad, it farts when your not even sitting on it". We both laughed but I was mortified

Super busy Saturday...
I could have sworn that I had my thinning shears in my hand as I took a long piece from the side of a geometric bob and prepared to remove weight...
They were NOT my thinning shears...
Nuff said:(
Omg my friend did this to her mum, her mum hit the roof :( but I just couldn't stop laughing eeek she was just about to graduate from college and I was pushing her to try new things in the salon ... Needless to say she never kept the 2 pairs of scissors near each other from then on! (It wasn't a bob but a short spiky kind of style ... She chopped one side of the top off :()

I went to do a spray tan on a new client. Whilst having explained about underwear and what was going to happen I left the room for a few seconda for her to get ready. When I returned she was bare naked and has very recently had a hollywood wax and had no hair at all. Needless to say when I had to bed down to spray her legs my eyes were staring right at her lady parts. I didn't know how to say anything so continued spraying took my money and left!

Once I was pouring a beer for a very good looking young male client (yes we serve beer), it went a bit frothy so I said innocently enough "oh I'm usually really good at giving head but I've made a right mess today"!

A few weeks ago I went to a clients house to do Gelish on her and her friend. She has a tortoise which she leaves to roam freely around the house. On my way out, carrying my large case and a big bag on my shoulder I heard a crack and it felt like something had dropped out of my bag.
I said 'oh I'm such an idiot, nevermind' and went to pick up the dropped item. Turns out I'd stood on her beloved tortoise!! Here's me saying nevermind!! The client looked like she was about to cry and shouted oh my poor fanny (the tortoises name) while her friend wet herself with laugher! I felt so bad got stepping on it but got a fit of giggles! She hasn't rebooked but her friend has lol

not in front of a client but mortifying nonetheless.
I had occasion to be in court a week or so ago. Don't ask, one day I'll be sure to tell you all about it!
I was dressed up to the nines, wearing knee length patent leather black boots with 6 inch heels. As we approached the court building I whispered to my friend "there's just something about courtrooms that attracts the dregs of society, isn't there?". And with that I missed my footing on the cobbles and landed splat in front of said dregs, on my face. Said dregs then scooped me up asking if I was ok and one of them even placed the tampon back in my handbag.

Haha oh cringe! That's something I would do xx
I manage a restaurant and do nails part time. At the restaurant several of my coworkers speak Spanish. I'm a Spanish student and try to practice. We are next to a movie theater and I wanted to treat a very shy girl for doing extra work. I was handing her money for the movie and was telling her there was extra money to buy something to eat. I remembered popcorn in Spanish translates into "little doves". I live in the US near the border to Mexico and used the word for "little bird" which is slang for penis! She shook her finger at me and said "no, no no"

Lmao some1 told my mum she was a milf the other weekend when we were all out, me and some of her friends burst out laughing ad my mum bless her looked at him silly and said "what's a milf?" she really had no idea, the lad went bright red and near enough ran away.
Ten again it's more of a compliment to me as I done her hair and makeup xoxo
My mom was just called a milf the other day as well by a rugby player on my brother-in law's team.. She was hilariously shocked.
