Clients who work with super strong chemicals?

[AllThumbs]

I use CND products on my clients and normally have no problems. I have a few clients that work in factories and really want to wear my nails. I work in a "asian" salon, although i'm american, and I have access to an Acetone-resistant top coat.

On my one client, she works with ink thinners that are so strong they will literally melt the acrylic as the thinner runs across her finger. I really want to keep her as a client, she is so fabulous, but i worry about her nails. They frequently lift because of her chemicals, and the topcoat i have to use to keep the polish on will make the nail surface gooey. I know this is not a good way to do her services but it the only way to keep them on. She's developing "greenies" on some fingers because of the lifting. I'm not sure if there is anything chemically i can do for her to help her keep the enhancements or to prevent the greenies. I really don't think she will go natural though, because she came specifically wanting enhancements.


I would suggest she take a break but i'd still have to use that topcoat and polish because she has the greenies on about 6 of 10 fingers. I'm really frusterated, but sheunderstands why they are that way and is still very happy with her services. I'm not tho....

I can't believe that health and safety laws do not require her to wear gloves to protect her hands and nails????? I'm sure she must be ignoring safety precautions at her place of work in which case her problems are of her own making. The situation does not sound good at all.

I personally would not continue to do enhancements on her with the greenies. She has it on 6 fingers now, and I bet if she doesn't become proactive, it will get worse. I agree, where are some gloves for that woman??? I would never invest money on enhancements and let them get ruined from work. I wouldn't let chemicals like that come in contact with my hands period! That sounds like some very strong stuff!
