Hi,
On my way home from holidays today, (today is a public holiday in australia) i get a call at 9am while we are driving in the country in the middle of no where lol.
One of my regular manicure clients who has very long lovely natural nails calls, she apoligies for calling me on a holiday but she isnt sure what to do, as yesterday she went to a large nail salon to have a manicure as she was going out last night and i was away.
She explained to me that while she was having her maincure the girl got out a pair of cutters and started cutting all the skin around her cuticles and now she is in extreme pain today, she said that all of her fingers were bleeding and she thought it wasnt normal that they should cut them as i never do.
I told her that no it wasnt normal to cut the skin and the only person that should cut skin is a doctor, not a nail tech, and she said that she tried to tell the girl to stop but the girl didnt understand english and had only been in australia for a few months ( i wouldnt have let her cut at all , but i guess some people just sit there and let people inflict pain lol )
Anyway i advised her to go along today and see her local doctor and get him to have a look at her fingers if they are very sore, and let him know exactly what had happened and to give me a call this week and let me know how it went.
Its not the first time someone has told me that their cuticles have been cut and i know it goes on in a few salons around here , its a shame really that it happens but its more of a shame that people actually sit there and take the pain from this "service".
