Hi All,
This is the first time posting here! I'm in need of some advice please...
I'm training in Acrylic Enhancements and most of my clients are coming from a local NSS. I'm glad that I am able to provide a safer service for these ladies but I have a few issues that i'm not sure how to tackle.
1. Their natural nails are very thin from the incorrect use of e-files which sometimes makes them pull away when i'm very carefully and gently prepping. I've even been asked to not prep once! So, I was wondering if I can use a 240 grit to prep these girls? (I was taught to prep with a 180).
2. I'm not actually sure if its safe to work on some of them but I don't want to refuse them unnecessarily as they will only go back to the previous place to avoid being turned away. Does anyone have any damage limit where they refuse to work until the damage has grown out? If so how do you determine if the nail is too damaged for further work? How do you let them know you cant work on them?
3. The set's I have been doing on these girls don't last very well at all but anyone who's come to me with healthy natural nails has never popped a nail or even had lifting. Are there any top tips for working on a short nail bed with previous damage to prolong the wear?
4. I think many of the girls pull at lifting and pick acrylics off causing even further damage to the natural nails. How do you persuade your client's not to do this? Do you offer free removals or let them know how to remove safely themselves?
Sorry a bit long! Thanks all in advance
