I definately charge her for the repairs, but I don't have an after care leaflet...one day I'll make one up. I'm taking pictures of my clients who see me after 3 and 4 weeks to produce and show her that nobody else has troubles as bad as she does so that rules out product....don't really know...

The great nail abduction I've read a few times...it makes me giggle, but perhaps a bit too sarcastic to apply to my client....I can tell you now when I ask for the nails back, she won't know where they went... The serious complaint article is a good read but perhaps my situation is not at that...
