Damage nailplates

[Denmark]

Hey

I have a new client who came to me 14 days a go she had L&P nails and they where quite damages, there was know way to save the products there was on the nails it was totaly lifted, and then i finished she had 4 green nails, they other place use to use glue then she had lift and then just put a new layer of L&P over it, i removed it all and her nail plates er so damage they have also used a e-file on them so they are so ultra thin.

I then applyed a new layer of L&P used a Preb Buster just to be sure, she i now comming back to me and they have all lifted huge, i normaly don´t have lift, so this realy surprised me, so my question is can a nail palte be so damage that it is very hard to get the products to bond to the plate, and due any of you have a good tip ore surgestion to this problem :cry:

Yes it can...I had this when i was training. I damaged my own nails and the product would just pop right off the damaged parts.

The foundations have to be half decent for the product to adhere.

Thank you Angie for you reply, i was also almost 100% sure that that would be the answer, my problem is i have a angry customer how wants me to due it over for free, i told her the last time, that i wasn´t sure how they would hold ore how it would turn out since they was so damage, but stilll she complaint over the work

imo... you mix a lot of causes of damage... and one that is not per se...

like the e-file, if it's handled right it doesn't damage the nail plate.

other than that, yes, if it's really damaged it cannot bond.
plus you said some were green and all...

I would of soaked off the nails, as the glue usual "melts" even faster than L&P...
and would of asked her to come within the next 14 days, just like I do for a nail bitter.

she should be angry at the old place hun, not you. It them who did the damage.

You explained your concerns...she knows her nails are damaged....no freebies.

Her nails is totaly filed down and shows clearly signs of a e-file being used not right, my gues is if i would use a 240 grit to times on the natural nail i will file throught them for sure that is how thin they are ...

You are right Angie it is not my doing, that has put her nails in that state, so why should i due it for free, i am just so bad in situations like this :cry:

maybe you can see with her if she's okay to let you use her hands for picts to show a before-after as to promote your job.

you offer her a little discount for that, and since you're good, and I'm sure when she left your place she loved her nails, it may even be good for your business.

also you didn't mention what prodcts you use, some are not compatible "like that" and if her x tech was usid really acid primer, and you don't, this may cause the enhancement to lift.

I use only CND products, what kind of products the former nail tech used i don´t know, but that should not cause any lifting since i removed all the old product before i gave her a new set of nails with CND products..

As Angie said ... the problem is obvious ... damage to the plate ... not your product or anything else. You are a tech with experience.

If the foundation of the enhancement is strong, then you will not get lifting if you are a good tech. If the foundation is weak, you will ... end of story.

A typical example is that of a man who when he wears an enhancement (sometimes we make my husband be a model on his little fingers) they GROW off with no lift at all, because his nails are so thick and strong.

A woman's nails are a different story, and these damaged nails tell it all.
