I do lots of NHS employees nails, last year I lost 16 clients as they are nurses and were told no more enhancements as they were considered unsanitary.........no comment.
I was upset at the time as it was a large chunk of my regulars but, if that is what the NHS is saying then what can i say?
Now this week four of my shellac/gelish ladies who work together performing breast mammograms have all been told no more polish, not even clear.
They are very upset, they wear gloves and can not see what the problem is. Their manager has just said that this is policy from higher up. THey have asked if I have anything in writing that they can take to their manager to fight this decision!
I suppose I wonder what you all think? Is this getting crazy? I feel like the NHS are taking steps too far although I would be the first to admit that I have no medical background and so I dont understand their rationale.
I can see why a theatre nurse or someone in A&E or on a ward might not be allowed. Although they are wearing gloves. I just cant get my head around not allowing ladies who are wearing gloves, who are performing non invasive tests to not be allowed enamel/gelish/shellac etc?
Can anyone shed light on this? DO you think its a world gone mad? I dont know what I think at the moment, except thats four regular clients who come EVERY two weeks all together and now they wont. DO you know I think I actually feel really sad that I wont be seeing them anymore.
DO you agree with the NHS taking this stand?
Do you know of any research that exists to support our industry that I can give my ladies?.
Can anyone shed any llight on this?
Rant over.............
