How many breakages is 'normal' at rebalance time.

Hi folks

Just trying to get a bit of feedback on my poll thanks

Could you just add - what product you use and 'on average' how long your clients tend to go between in fills.

I voted 2 as its closest ... I wouldn't say its usual to have some clients missing 1 or 2....but it does happen. Mostly they go 3-4 weeks and mostly no breaks....I use Akzentz (but then you know that anyway...:lol

I have 2 serial pickers....

1 heavy handed breaker

and 1 nibbler

and the others are fine.

I use Creative powders and Retention+

My clients are a mixed bunch really. Overall not too bad with breakages as long as they come back at two weekly intervals for maintance. I have one lady that can go 5 weeks and her nails still look perfect in every way.. and she has two part time jobs.. one being a cook and the other a cleaner, she is a dream client.

I don't have any serial pickers thankfully, but at the moment I don't do that many enhanced nails nowadays, just a handful of regulars, the rest are natural nails or other beauty clients.

:hug:

I have a right mixture really! I have some who never break nails, but on average I'd say that 50% of my clients have a breakage or 2 at rebalance time...... I have a couple of mega-pickers but 1 who goes 4 or 5 weeks between each rebalance without a spot of lift or a breakage......

I voted 2 because it's closest to my average I reckon! Good poll, Amber!

I also have a huge mixture of clients! Some go 3-4 weeks not breaking a single nail, then I have others who struggle to go 1-2 weeks! I have one lady who goes around 6-10 weeks in between appointments, she is a nightmare, but no matter the length of her nails she never breaks one!

I also have some nail biters, pickers and very heavy handed clients.

I voted the middle one - like Angie, its not usual that everyone comes back with breakages, but there are some that are heavy-handed and seem to always knock a couple off.

I'm actually getting quite good at predicting who'll come back intact and who'll have breakges!

Ooh, yes and 90% of my clients are Bio, but with a growing percentage of Akzentz (buff off) as they get longer term, I'm converting a few more!

I voted two also, there are some who come back to me with everything in tact and well looked after, there are a few who sometimes but not always come back with one or two missing, usually the thumb or middle finger and then there are two who are nightmares, every single time there breakages, sometimes up to four or five nails!!!!!! Drives me nuts! it's usually the ones that dont look after them, like have dry damaged hands that you know have been in chemicals or water and that they are heavy handed! But these girls also have a right to have beautiful looking nails so i persevre, amnt I an angel haha :Grope:

I voted for the middle one aswell. I always have a few predictable clients that come back with a nail or two missing or horizontal cracks at the stress area since they waited to long to come back and their nails got to long and the apex is almoste on the free edge :irked:

I use cnd retention+ for all customers. I have a few obediant customers that come back every 3 weeks, moste between 4 and 5 weeks and a few that go over this.

I voted 2nd one, buts its not that often, most of my clients look after, there is the odd one.
