There are lots of videos on YouTube that you can watch to help with your positioning of your micro rings. The tension can be controlled by using your left hand to support the weight of the weft whilst sewing. Hold the weft near the micro ring that you are stitching, pull to required tension...

Exactly, everyone learns at their own rate, there's on cut off line! As @Trinity says she's still learning every day. I've been doing nails since the '80's!! and still learning and using new technics along the way. Don't give up, one day you will look back and wonder why you even had a problem...

Hi, the other thing that you could do is get a more pronounced 'C' curve it as all clients have different natural shaped nails. These should fit her nail shape better. Test the fit before gluing in place. Also when learning beginners tend to use a tip that is wider than required in most cases...

You're going to have to use the same tactics as her 'previous hairdresser' and be unable to fit her in, it may take a while but she'll get the message and move on to be unreasonable with someone else. Be polite but firm, she's being totally inconsiderate to you and has no respect. These clients...
