filthy nails

[dingbat]

Happy New Year to all.

Had a client in wanting acrylics. She had no nails and the little nails she had looked liked she had been digging. Would you go and get your nails done in that state? would you go for a pedi without washing your feet first? oooh I think not poooo
Any way she wanted white tips but they would have looked stupid, so I did white l&p. I found it very hard to do. As I started to apply the white she said oh no that is too deep(the white) oh my goodness what a confidence bummer!!!

You could have done a custom blend or used tips by saddling them first.

or do a reverse application?
I'd have asked her to scrub her hands and nails first tbh.
I hope you used plenty of sanitiser!! x

You are lucky she told you as you started to apply them,
i had a new client a few weeks ago that sat there and watched me do all the whites, with a beautiful smile line i might add, then said to me when i had done the 10th nail, oh no i don't like them i wanted a straight line :irked: so i counted to ten and had to file the ears of the smile away and try to make what was originally smiling look straight (that was a nightmare to do) they looked pants when i had finished, but i still charged her full price, as i saw it she should of spoke up after the first nail not the 10th,
some clients are sent from hell i swear lol
sorry hun i went a bit off topic there oops

They always seem to be the clients who know more than you do.
Just put your foot down and tell her you know more for you and what is best for you.

OMG!! I would have been really annoyed!! You must have some self restraint!

My friend asked me to do hers and I did one nail in the gorgeous "Ruby Slipper" and she said "No I don't think its me". Last time I touch her nails LOL:lol:

Yep they are sent to us, probably from outerspace!!!
I had one taking 1/2 hour to chose a color for her and by the third nail she says, oh don't think I like this, I asked if she wanted me to stop, and she replied oh no, but by the time I had done all 10 and finished buffing she had said things like, oh I'm already tired of these, and oh I already hate this color...


some people:smack:

I would be extremely embarrassed to go to a salon with filthy nails or feet! I haven't had a pedicure before but always wash my hands before my nail appointments!
