Hi Guys,
Just finished a client this morning - well say finished, more like patched up!!
i do gel with tips and this particular lady likes the look but not the looking after - familiar to you all i'm sure, so she comes in with stick on false nails on, which i'm thinking is a bit strange and we start chatting and she said that she managed to damage most of her nails whilst drunk on the rodeo bull in the local nightclub, okay i'm thinking, so she goes on to explain that she had seen me buff the gel off and that she was going to do her own, only, wait for it, she hadn't got a nail file so she used the sandpaper off the black and decker!!!!! Honestly, i was speechless! (and boy is that something!), so i start trying to take her stick on ones off and they wouldn't budge, so i ask her what glue she used and she said that the glue that comes with them is rubbish so she used superglue!!! by now i was ready to cry, any way ages later after i got them off and buffed the glue remenants off she had managed to take off most of her nails with the black and decker sandpaper - so much so the nailbed underneath was red raw and there was no way i could put tips on, let alone gel. So i gave her a manicure and told her to come back when the skin had healed.
Any other horror client stories out there?
hugs to you all

Ps Sorry Mr Geek if i've put this in the wrong bit - just so flustered with it and wanted to get it off my chest.
