my last client was a man that booked by phone this morning for a male manicure, no problems for me or so i thought,
he arrived at 5.30 he was about 65 to 70 yrs old, and he smelt kind of funny shall we say, i had a quick look at his hands and asked what he actually wanted out of the service,
he said take the length down and file etc, no probs i thought , and i started to get this smell more from near his hands rather than him, went to set up a soaking bowl with citrisoak and hoping that this would clean his hands enough for me to touch them!!!then i noticed his little finger was missing! no probs again ( im a professional and these things are common)
his nails were very long as i took his hand in mine to start at his little finger he started to stroke my hand with his thumb!!!!
i moved away , thinking it could have been a mistake, tried to carry on, and to engage him in conversation, but he kept grunting under his breath," gorgeous, and things like ummm lovely"
was he on about me or my technique!
i had to clean under his nails as they were really dirty and this is where the smell was coming from, i normally have a strong stomache, but this was what i felt was beyond the call of duty,
needless to say i started to feel very uncomfortable, and wanted to finish the service half done, he then tried to rub his feet against mine!!!
thats when i quickly finished up, i then asked another girl to take his money for me as i had to clean up as we had finished for the day,
i went out the back and was heaving into the sink, i still dont know what the smell was, but he made me feel so bad , i threw my files away and told the girl to keep his tip as i didnt want it from him!
i came home and cried!
this is not like me atall, but now i feel so yucky, i dont want to do any men atall now,
i have been home an hour and a half now, and i still cant get it out of my head,
have any of you had to do something like this, or put up with dirty old men if so what did you do, or what would you have done in my position?
how is it possible, to actually refuse service with no good reason???
please help me, shall i just say no more men, or what,??
sorry its long and waffly, but i feel a bit funny still and am tearful,
dont know why its got to me so much but it has sorry x
