A new client tells me
"My nails grow faster with enhancements on"
I tried explaining to her that no, they dont. They just stop breaking off so you actually get to see them get longer.. but no... I'm wrong and dont know what I'm talking about. I'm only a nail tech. What could I possibly know about nails?
Another refused to use/purchase cuticle oil from me or elsewhere and used baby oil instead and was stunned at the amount of lift..
Like hello, it's PETROLEUM dooh as Homer Simpson says (can I slap her up the back of the head, please?) As if I hadn't already explained at a previous appointment the why's and wherefors of cuticle oils and what not to use instead of it... she had been listing a litany of every oil under the sun. Drove me NUTS. Like lady, its only 5$, what's the big deal? If you can afford enhancements, you can afford a bottle of oil. errrrrrr
Oh yes, and "they fell off" (and you can SEE the damage from the force applied to rip and pick them off):evil:
I've heard the calcium and jello one myself. In fact, a tutor even told me about gelatin either in "jello' form or capsules will improve hair/skin/nails. Pharmacist says too, and my mom insists on taking her capsules. LOL
Who knows what that's all about lol
Another one insists castor oil taken orally helps (YUCK!!!!) Umm yeah, thats why you come see me for enhancements instead of growing your own
I really should keep a diary, sure I've heard some doozies.. know I nearly ended up permanently disfigured a few times trying to keep a straight face.. LOL Just can't remember them now LOL (Old age kicking in here, or the late hour tha's past my bedtime hehe)
