Hi all,
I just wanted to share what happened to me today, as to be honest it has really knocked my already fragile confidence...
I was following up a client who had acrylic enhancements a couple of weeks back. I texted her to ask how she was getting on with them, and this is what she said:
"I got them taken off, to be honest I wasn't happy with them, they were very thick, and bits didn't even have any acrylic on. It also took the professional 3 hours to soak them off as they were that thick, and that was with pure acetone! Sorry but I won't be using you again."
I was mortified but when I thought about it I really couldn't match up what she was saying with how I remember leaving them. I certainly can't imagine them being so thick that they needed a 3 hour soak off!!!!! At the time she said she was happy with them, and she was a recommendation from another client.
I texted back:
"I am sorry to hear that you are not pleased with them. I have not had a complaint before about nails being too thick. I would have been happy to redo/repair/soak off for you if you had let me know" (as we discussed on the day I did them)
How do I bounce back? Did i say the right thing? :cry:

ps I have attached a pic of my own enhancements (forgive the splodgy flowers, I was trying out a new art pen) taken about 4 weeks after me applying. Though it isnt the client's nails, it shows what my enhancements turn out like. Are they really that bad?
