Hi fellow geeks,
I'm kicking myself at this one as I don't know what's wrong! I have 2 clients (mother and daughter) who have always had gel enhancements and as I don't offer Gel they booked in for L&P. They have always said they get on better with gel but as an addict of L&P I was convinced I could convert them!
In the 7yrs as a nail technician I have never come across this so totally baffled but within days they were coming off! The enhancements were breaking from the bottom therefore not getting pranged or bashed. Within a week they are clean off with not one trace of acrylic to be seen!
Obviously I have replaced free of charge and it's happened again! I have throughly prepped the nail plate and applied correctly. They just believe they don't get on with Acrylic only Gel.
I just don't understand when Gel is another form of Acrylic so can't reason with that complaint. Luckily these clients are friends therefore believe in my standards and quality of work.
Do any of you fellow nail techs know what I may be doing wrong? Is this due to much oil secreting from the nail plate naturally? None of my other clients have a problem but i thought with them being mother and daughter it could maybe be related?
I need answers - its driving me mad!
Thank you in advance
