I have a chronic male nail biter client. I have never seen anything like it
After full explanation about maintenance, overexposure, after-care etc. I agree to sculpt his nails. Sculpting is my preferred technique anyway but he literally has about 2 mm of nails left so tips would not be viable. He had been to other techs whom all tipped and he hated them.
He makes TV appearances so is paranoid about them looking natural. I kept them very short, thin and used Geeg's 'secret Mix' for the impression of a tiny free edge.
If I say so myself they looked amazing and the client was so pleased he have me £100!!!
3 days later he came back having bitten them all off :irked: He didn't blame me and was happy to pay for another full set as he loved the way I had done them.
OK, no problem, it's his nails and money! Did them again and they looked great, he was pleased and off he went.
This has happen about 6 times now
I know it's a bad habit, I have done my best, he is happy to get them redone, I have explained repeatedly about the risk of overexposure and told him at the first sign of problems I will stop doing them.
so what would you do?
Business is business so no I don't give him a 'frequent' client discount :lol:
What are your opinions on this? would you give up on cannibal clients like him or take the money and do the best you can?
