Rebalance help

[tracie130178]

Hi Geeks. I did my training with Creative and passed in January. The question I have is about Rebalances.

The clients I have keep saying to me that I do rebalances differently to other Nail Tec's they have been to.
When I file away any areas that may have lifted, They say that they have just had it clipped away with a clipper tool? I have never seen this and was wondering if anyone else has heard of this and do all Tec's do this? It does seem to take me quite a while to do a rebalance and my client's say that they have just had the lifted area clipped away and it is so much quicker!!!!!

Anyone also do it this way?

Tracie xxxx:o

Really bad idea trying to do it this way, it prises attached product away from the nail and a bit potential to cause damage! .
You have the skill to do it the right way so keep up the good work x

I think the other way sounds more trouble then its worth! I would find it difficult to clip off any lifting, I'd probably cause the lifting to get worse or ruin the rest of the product that is (was) still attached.
I know re-balances can take ages.... mine take me longer then a full set! But we'll all get there in the end, I think we'll do better to get there taking a little longer down the right road then skipping corners and causing problems down the wrong road. It wont happen overnight but you (and I) will get better at rebalances eventually

It definitely would cause it to get worse and usually only seen in NSS. This is not the method you want to use as a reputable tech. You can use this opportunity to educate your clients on why what you are doing is the correct and safe way of doing things.

Better to not have the lifting in the first place and then you won't take so long to do your RB's.

Certainly clipping damages and thins the nails and only makes for further lifting. It is not what professionals do. If clipping was an accepted pro technique then you would have learned it on your CND course.

Learn to do nails that don't lift and problems solved.

Hi thank you all for your replys. I will just keep doing what Im doing and Im sure eventually I will get quicker!! xxx

Take a look at the speciality seminars that creative offer. There is a lift prevention and a rebalancing class that are great for fine tuning any areas like these. Great classes.

I am doing my final college assessment on Thursday night and it's the dreaded Maintenance. We have been taught to file the lifted area. TBH, in all the years that i've been having nail extensions (12-13 years), I have never seen or heard of maintenance being clipped away!

lol Well trust me, people have been clipping away at lifted product for the 25+ years that I have been in the business ... I would even venture a guess that the majority do it as a regular part of their prep! They shouldn't be but they are, which is just one more reason there is so much visible nail plate damage when one examines others' work..

Blimey Geeg that is shocking. I guess i've just been very lucky then with the Nail Techs who have worked on my nails.

Hope you are well Geeg. xx

That's how I was taught in school, 103 years ago...LOL! Now, I've learned thru my CND training to file away any lifting (IF there is any).
