Thanks for advice previously given, but whereas all other aspects of my beauty business is going great, yesterday's client lost three gel nails/tip within 24hours and another client lost one in the past 8 hours, possibly more by tomorrow.
I'm so close to leaving gel nails for the nail technicians in nearby salons.
One detached when tapped, one detached when caught on a bag and the thumb fell off after another light encounter. As for the other client, she's asked for the other nine to be removed and just wants gel polish on own nails.
Then, I have other clients that last for upto three weeks. My own seem to last the longest.
I've acted on previous SalonGeek advice, but just as one issue seems sorted, another arises.
Despair...
I was trained using the Gelish protocol, and chose to use CND and IBD products, using online resources to further refine skills. In the past three months, I've had four, possibly five clients that have required free of charge repairs/replacements etc., and thirteen repeat customers that seem to have no issues.
I can't seem to find a pattern for the issues and I'm losing confidence in my ability.
Maybe, I should attend another course; preferably in the County Durham region.
Thanks for reading & thanks in anticipation for any guidance. X
Just been reading over my notes for college/nail courses and read 'When applying tips, it is not necessary to temporarily dehydrate the nail plate at this point of the service. Adhesives have superior bonding properties in the presence of moisture, so dehydrating the nail plate could actually reduce adhesion.'... is this why they're dropping/pinging off?
