Hi fellow geeks,
I'm hoping you guys can help, I started my acrylic nail training at the end of last year and have been working on a mobile basis whilst I continue my training in other areas and to enhance my skills.
I am having a problem with some of my acrylics I do all the same prep on every customer and they look great and everyone seems really pleased with the end result. However, I don't feel my nails last as long as they should. I had one client who kept her nails quiet long and she had a few nails where the whole nail come off in one not just at the tips, I found this strange and replaced them for free and then she said it had happened again with another 2 and never came back. I now have another customer that says she is really hard on her nails so they don't last as long on her and she knows that however, I done her nails and a week and 2 days later she said 4 where off so I told her to soak them off and we would do another set, when I got there later that night they were all off and she said she hadn't needed to soak them they had all come off, done a new set she was really happy now a week and 2 days later she has text saying the same. I am really disheartened I like acylics however, I want them to last so I can build my business not lose customers and be classed as rubbish.
When I do gel on customers they are fine and I am doing my conversion course to Calgel soon however, I want to master my acrylic so I can offer customers a choice of high quality work.
Any ideas where I am going wrong? I thought it was my prep but all my products are NFU-OH and I file,buff, remove cuticle, apply fresh prep and primer before nails.
Please help!!!!!!!!:cry:
