Hi everyone ..
I just need some advice really ..
I recently qualified as a nail tech but have been doing my own nails for years ..
However, it still takes me around 2 + half hrs to get a full set of gel extensions (tips or sculptured) done ..
So in order to get practice done to work on my speed I've been doing my neighbours/friends nails for free ..
They are 2 sisters in their mid 20's so I also get the chance to work on some intricate designs ..
But ..
Always within a couple of days one is saying she's 'lost 4 sculptured nails / the other saying her gems have come off etc, etc, etc ..
Yet I sculpture my own nails in long coffins, use exactly the same products but only secure my gems with top coat whereas I use jelly shrink to secure theirs! and I never have any problems with my own nails :/
Also take into account the amount of times I file uv polish off my nails and re-apply different designs, and I never 'lose' any of my nails or have any problems whatsoever, I'm beginning to think that maybe they're just taking the p*ss ..
They used the local Chinese nail bar charging £35+ a set for years and so quite literally kept those extensions on until they were falling off!
So my question is this ..
Are they unfairly taking me for a ride and how do I approach this with them?
Many thanks x
