Hello
I did a couple of sets of Gel nails on Thursday evening. The girls were both 16. One of the girls had bitten nails, they were not painfully short but shorter than the norm. I advised her that she needed to have her tips v short to prolong their life etc and she took my advise. The other girls nails were a dream to work with, just the right length etc.
They told me that they have tried three other salons in the area but the nails don't last. To be honest when they mentioned one salon in particular I thought it was odd as before i qualified i used to have mine done there and never had any problems.
I gave them my usual care advise and told them to book in for their infills etc. Both were really happy.
Then today I got a phone call from one of their mums saying all the nails had come off. I was mortified and instantly offered to re do them without asking any questions. She said she would check when the girls are free and get back to me.
I later got a voicemail from her to say that they would like their money back instead.
I feel a little let down and deflated by this. I am not using a new system, and have never had trouble before. I have not returned the ladies call yet as I wanted to get some advise. I do not want to give a refund but don't want bad press for my salon either. What would you do?
I find it really hard to believe that 20 gels nails have all fallen off within 48 hours... Surely even a newbie could not achieve this?
