I've got an elderly client tomorrow. She is a neighbour.
I took a booking for a mini pedicure her as a new client the other day, for tomorrow.
Having since seen her today she mentioned she really just wanted her toe nails cut as she is going on holiday at the weekend and would like them cut for it.
I noticed her nails at a glance appear thickened, longish and some possible curving- upwards and others to the side.
I suspect after consultation based on what I saw today, only quickly however, that I may be unable to treat her.
Do I tell her to see her GP or suggest a chiropodist or both as if she does have a problem it will need treating but she also really wants them cut?
I feel really bad as I cant imagine she will be able to get them cut before her holiday if I dont do them but understand if they are contra indicated I'm not supposed to and may not be covered by my insurance.
Would anybody risk just filing or cutting them just so she can have them done?
