I had one of my lead clients in today for a mini mani....couldn't convert her at the time, but she has rebooked for 2 weeks.
She has extremely overgrown skin over the natural nail...well cuticles in laymans terms (what is the correct term for this? lateral fold????)....anyway, it is half way up her nail plate on many fingers.
I advised her that the only way we can rid her of this anomoly is by massage and exfoliation....not by pushing back vigourously and cutting off what's left.
Well as they always do, she had products at home....didn't want to buy mine, so I advised her to massage these in to her nails and cuticles every day.... on service, after usung cuticle remover they did start to budge...
I've never had to deal with this before....what do you do when that living tissue after treatment lifts from the nail plate and becomes dead tissue? How do you get rid of it and expose the nail plate with a healthy cuticle area....without flapping bits of what used to be there.....with rejuvenator....would this skin exfoliate away?
Help is required as I told her we could rid her of this cuticle problem.....and I impressed it would take time and homework from her.
Advice welcome xxx
