The trouble with nail biters is they generally have a lot of overgrown cuticle skin on the nail plate so you need to spend more time on your prep to make sure it is all removed. Any itsy bitsy bit left will cause lifting.
As has already been said they need to be seen weekly to start with and have their nails very short.
The nails you described that were done elsewhere were not necessarily good but they may have been done using MMA and mechanical means of adhesion. Ask your client if the technicians all wore masks, used e-files, large brushes and if the nail products smelt very strong - all of the above together may be an indication.

fiona this post is terrible
You are so right Fiona and as the Geek said good points,
Nail biters cuticles are the worst as the saliva hardens the cuticle area and make the skin over grow something terrible........
I have a nail biters program where they come to the salon, the week before their enhancments and have a fab Manicure....then I send them on their way with a bottle of cuticle remover and solar oil...get them to use it every night at bedtime, as this softens and removes the hard skin.....Then when they come back,I do another manicure, I power prep the nails, keep the enhancements very short...............and they come or a weekly check and tidy up in between their regular maintenance.......
As Fiona said they
may have used MMA, and
may have prepped the nail with an e-file rather then using safe products to prepare the nail for enhancements......and if the monomer had a very strong unpleasant odour it
may have been MMA......but like Fiona said it
may have been the case...
may, meaning it is possible that this is the case......
As it is very rare to get a nail biter not to have any lifting at all after 3 weeks due to the increased rate of nail growth.............
A badly bitten nail will want to regrow at a much faster rate then a non biters nail............ It's the human way of repairing it self............
So any non lifting after 3 weeks is more likely to be down to all the points that Fiona made........... and not safe code of practice...whether they where applied by a German, Thai, Korean, British, Irish or any other not included nationality Nail Techncian, it is still NSS no matter what language...........
