sorry if someone else has already asked this but I'm really not too good with computers!!
I need a bit of advice!
I did a course in acrylic nails about 3 years ago, never used it professionally as I got a different job, but became self employed last year as a beautician/holistic therapist and re-trained. When I re trained I was told my nails were good but never had clients return for in fills, although the look of the nails afterwards was good and they seemed happy.
I have since found out that my nails are coming off, so I had a word with a lady I know who also does extensions and she gave me a few ideas, I was blending the tips through with acetone which she advised me not to do and also using a primer pen, she advised me to use a liquid primer and also not to use too much sanitizing spray.
I started a new job yesterday and the salons main income is quite clearly nail extensions, I was booked in on my first day to do 6 back to back sets and an hour to do each, I was also totally on my own. I managed to do the nails but just after I finished my day I had a phone call from my first client saying the nails were "bendy" and coming off already. As I have put some nails on myself and they havent come off me I can't understand what I am doing wrong and am very upset and stressed out as the girl I have just taken over from at the salon was sacked because her nails kept coming off and we are in the same area as nails 4 u/american nails etc so we have to be good.
If anyone could offer me any advice it would be very very much appreciated!
