hey fellow geekers,
need some help from a professional view! Done a customers nails today in shellac, french style and she wasn't happy with the result. The white was slightly too thick for her liking! What have i done wrong? Normally i can knock out a pretty good set of french shellac without the fear of the white being too thick or bulbous looking.
The client has recently purchase all the shellac stuff for use at home and has basically taught herself how to apply the product Throughout the whole entire process of the treatment she said, " oh i thought you done this, that, the next thing? oh wat are you doing this for?" etc. So pressure was on from beginning basically. So i applied my base coat, two thin layers of beau, then i opted for white! She was adamant she wanted studio white which in my opinion is softer white. I normally opt for cream puff applying one coat only and she wanted two of the white done. I advised her that it would appear softer but may appear slightly thicker on edge and that was fine with her. It was applied thinly as possible too to ensure this, then cured then top coat two of them nails came out slightly bulbous looking when looking on to apex of nail from close up on the side. The shape etc, was absolutely perfect and she picked up on them right away and said i am not happy with them.
I explained that they would appear slightly thicker due to extra coats applied during the process but as a goodwill gesture i offered a complementary application within next two weeks! However, i do in a way feel slightly miffed and backed up against the wall! So much so that I've lost my confidence with this treatment and I've asked my salon manager for some one on one time. Basically looking and doing some troubleshooting to see what i done wrong. I'm so annoyed at myself because she commented on the beauty of my lines and sidewalls said they were perfection i had created the perfect shape!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So where did i go wrong with the white application? please help?
