    No Shows And Non Returners

    Ruth is spot on here this is a business and you must be strong and confident. Take a credit card number to reserve an appointment at the very least. Don't be afraid to ask. Any customer who balks at this isn't a customer! If your column isn't building, you to literally sit down and analyse...

    Well all I can say is Dr. G's is a long term trading company from the USA and have been making these statements publicly and on all their packaging for ten years. Check it out before you rubbish it. They seem to think that their active ingredient is FDA approved. By the way, please explain...

    Hard and strong are two different questions: speaking in generalities and not trying to be a chemist: L & P is both hard and strong and its the hardness that is a disadvantage in engineering terms, and strong is disadvantageous if the natural nail plate has had to be etched or abrabed or even...

    Brisa Problem

    If the gel came off clean like you had deliberately moulded them on the nail shape and the clients brought them back(?) there was no bond at all. Did you check the clients nail surface for fissures or striations. ( As a point of reference LCN nails if applied correctly don't come off. )...
