Hi - Not sure if i posted this in the right place (apologies if i havent), not sure if i would just like some advice or just a rant really...
Basically, I have just moved area, this bit is irrelevent until later, i made friends with my new neighbour and said i was starting up my business again as a nail technician, to cut a long story short (ish) i gave her a full set of nails nearly 10 days ago - reluctant to go the whole shabang and do a forever french 1) because of the cost of product and 2) it was really just a training exercise as i have not done a full set in over a year.
nails looked lovely, and the fact she works in a shop in the local villiage kinda coupled up on free advertising for me iykwim.
anyway tonight i saw her and she said one of her nails had broken, ok thats fair enough, although she later confessed she had been using it as a screwdriver !!! .... so offered her a soak off and a replacement and said i might as well infill the rest at the same time.
she said to me " oh i thought you would have to remove them all and do the whole set again" told her that, no you just need to have them rebalanced every 2 weeks or so, and i can easily repair or replace a busted nail, its no drama.
Just been round to see her now to say if she has spare half hour or so ill sort the broken one, but noticed she was hiding her hands and then she confessed that she had removed the polish and used a acetone based remover to do so - I clearly told her when i did the nails to use non-acetone remover as part of the aftercare.
i am getting to the point .... honest! lol
she showed me her nails and quite obviously she has attempted to remove herself, the nails plates are in a terrible state - didnt need to use scrubfresh to see that they had been picked n pulled off.
tbh - i feel really peeved that she's done this, she wanted the set of nails i did them free of charge for the above reasons, but its the cost of product and my time. i really feel like my confidence has been proper dented now - i know not everyone will tell you if theres a problem and i know there was nothing wrong with that set of nails.
coupled with that i set my website up 10 days ago have had 205 hits and not a d1ckey bird ringing -
thanks for reading if you got this far lol
