Hi everyone,
I'm having a bad week and am feeling bad about myself as a nail tech. Firstly I removed a regular clients nail enhancements (white tips) with clippers before soaking and caught her little finger and made it bleed. I then applied a new set. I felt so bad, it made me feel ill all the way through her treatment, she hasnt booked a maint appointment and I don't blame her! At the end she seemed pleased with her nails, but I was so embarrassed was not confident to ask her to rebook with me. I kent apologising and took some money off of the price charged. The problem is I dont think I can chat and clip nails at the same time!
Then another of my regulars had her nails soaked off two weeks ago and came for a manicure yesterday. A couple of her nails were really sore and were breaking low down and making her nail bed look red. I filed them gently with a 240 grit file (kanga board) and cleaned them with scrubfresh and then soaked them in hot oils for ten mins. They felt a bit better and she seemed pleased but I felt terrible because I'm always telling clients that nail enhancements don't damage the nails and so on. She uses solar oil regularly (or so she says) and the products I use are Creative. I file gently so I cannot understand why her nails are in such a state. She's rebooked with me for a manicure in two weeks and then she wants to try the custom blend manicure two weeks later.
Sorry to go on, but I feel better writing it all down.
Thanks for listening.
