Hi all,
I just after abit of advice really..
I regulary have L&P Nail enhancments which my mum does for me as she is qualifed and i've never had any problems and i must admit that she does a very good job, however my mum went on holiday for 2 weeks and i was desperate to get my nails done for a party so i phoned around and booked with a local mobile nail technician to get them done.
Anyway, she arrived for the appointment and the first tihng she did was start sizing the tips up.. i was confused to note that she never steralized her instruments, neither did she spray or wash our hands and worst of all, she never did any preparation of the nails, no buffing, removing cuticle on nail plate etc... Now im not qualifed in nails as yet (although im currently training), so im not going to purtray that i know everything about nail enhancments and how to do them but i do understand that hygiene and preparation of the nails prior to enhancments is very important to ensure no lifting etc..
Anyway, i kept my mouth shut and just let her carry on, asuming she knew what she was doing
... the tips where applied, glue went everywhere! but then i was more shocked to see her applying the primer and then A SHED LOAD of cuticle oil ontop of the primer and then applying the l&p
At this point, i asked if that was correct as surely the oil would stop the L&p adhering properly.. with that she gave me a nasty look and told me that she was the one that was trained so she knows what she is doing ... i didn't argue with her even though in the back of my mind, i knew this was wrong (assuming i am correct here?!)
After she had finised, i paid and she left. On closer inspection, the finished result was not good at all.. the finish was thick and bumpy and looked very messy. The next day, i woke up and noticed that they had all lifted around teh cuticles (no surprise!) so i called her to explain and after listening to her explain that it was probably because i had my hands in water for to long!!, she did tell me she would come round and infill them, so round she came and what did she do.. she just applied another thick coat of L&P ontop of the lifted nails and that was it.. so now I had a set of even thicker enchanments and properly trapping bacteria and god knows what else encased between the two lays of l&P!!
My mum returned a few days later and i got her to soak them off straight away and she was shocked with them ( they even had green bits in them by this time! not shocked with that really.. to be expected!)
Basically i just wondered if you think i should just forget about it or whether i should possibly phone and mention something to the nail tech? if it was me, i'd personally prefer to hear from any client who may have a problem so that i could resolve it and ensure it doesn't happen in future...
i'd hate for anyone else to spend good money and recieve the same result as i did.
