Hello
I have been using shellac for almost a year now and absolutely 110% love it. Today a newbie shellac client came in to see me to cancel her next shellac appointment. When I asked why she showed me her nails and said it all just peeled off. Now we are on Friday and I did her shellac on Saturday of last week. She said they started peeling the day after and by the end of the day she had lost the lot off two nails and the others were loose and so she peeled it off.
Having looked at her nails there were no signs of stress, no bits of nail plate missing or anything like that. Her nails are generally in good health, not brittle or peeling.
I asked her if she had used any cleaning products etc without gloves, she said no, then I asked her if she was on any medication and she replied "Lots" now she was reluctant to tell me what medication she was taking and I did not feel I had any rights to ask but this must be the problem because never have I come across this before.
It got me curious though, are there certain types of meds that affect the longevity of nail products or are there so many its trial and error?
I felt really bad for her because she paid for the shellac manicure and through no fault of her own did not get good value for money but at the same time it is not my fault either. Should I be asking what meds people are on and advising them to avoid if taking specific ones?
Any advise would be appreciated x
