I realise there are already some existing threads out there but couldn't quite find what I am looking for. We seem to have had a recent influx of new clients coming to us with possible/ established fungal/infected nails. We do have a Foot Health Professional (like a chiropodist) who comes in on an appointment basis and it's working well for her and it's great when she is here as she can have a look while the client is here.
We've got to a point recently where it's almost every other pedicure has possible fungal nails and despite our best efforts to explain our reasons for not painting their nails refering them to their GP/Chiropodist or our Foot Professional they don't get it or they don't care! As these are new clients we don't want to make them feel embarassed or not want to come back. We have been thinking about putting a little poster/ info leaflet up in the salon and on our website highlighting fungal infections and other toenail problems and explaining on it why we can't paint their nails.
Is this something anyone else has done? Would you find it offensive?
Just to be clear these are new clients coming to us with infections, not existing clients developing infections!
