What's the weirdest thing you heard from the other side of the table?

[AllThumbs]

omg.. today i was doing long nails on a client and i was nearly finished and she looked up at me and went OMG! I was like what? she said, "if i get in a fight this weekend i can't close my fists! the nails are to long!"

HAHAHA WTH?! she decided not to shorten them, but thats just one of the wacky things i've heard, what about you guys? whats the strangest thing thats ever happened to you while you were working?

other things that have happened to me are:
1. couple broke up in front of me while getting her nails done. he drove off and left her there with no ride
2. had to listen to an over-the-road drivers sex-capades....
3. was hit on by a female client
4. woman fell asleep getting a pedicure after she'd been up all night running from her hubby who tried to kill her...

i had a woman vomit all over my nail desk while i was actually doing her nails !, then collapse onto it , shock horror ! i was just about to call an ambulance in a mad panic when she came round and said " im fine now, can you finish my nails" ehhhhhh no. i dont think so. i told her to go home and id finish them when she was better. she never came back thank god. that was the worst client. the funniest was a lady who was an x porn star who ran a very upmarket escourt agency. she used to have 5 phones on the nail desk and 2 tucked in her bra and answer them all in a different accents. it was so funny . always held me up time wise as i had to do her nails inbetween clients calls but she always made it up to me by paying extra .

hahaha well vomit is definatly taking the cake. i think you win! hahaha that was good for a morning laugh.
I once did an alaskan fisherman's toenails. i had to take breaks in between filing (that i had to use the drill and we all know how drilled natural nails smell) so that i could go gag and puke in the next room.

Ha ha omg you have seen it all by the sounds of it!!
I once had this 93 year old lady come in for a manicure from her nursing home.
She asked me if I had a bin as she had been stealing the butter from breakfast and keeping hold of it. She had been storing it in a pot and had forgotten about it until one day it started to smell. I told her dont worry I can throw it away for her. She said that she didnt want them knowing she was a theif PMSL. So I put it on the side and carry on with her nails. My boss walks in and says 'Kylie is that BUTTER you have on the side?!'
We both laughed after. Poor old lady lol xxx

This is a funny thread!
My story was just the other day infact, had a client who was around 40 and said she had her boyfriend coming over from Lapland, so I joked she was going out with father christmas, she then told me he was infact a father christmas from Lapland. She had met him 3 years earlier and he asked what she wanted for christmas, so she said someone to marry, he told her if she hadn't found someone to marry her then he would!
She went back and now apparently they are an item and she told me he wad a full white beard and everything. He was coming over this weekend and invited me over to her house with my daughter to have a story telling party, unfortunatly I could n't make it to meet the real mr Clause!!
I joked she was Mary Christmas and she said she had a cat called christmas!!
How wierd is that LOL

 

[3 WISHES]

These storys are very funny lol, I used to have i client in who was a "high class escort".....she used to come in for many treatments and one day she decided to have a set of l&p's. After i did them she asked me how hard she could dig them in to someones back? and would they snap? I just looked at her in amazement and really didnt know what to say lol i just had a horrible mental picture of what she was goig to do with these nails and what was going to be under them when she came back for a rebalance lol

 

[tigi]

i had a lady ask if she could keep the hat i put on her for a spray tan. I said of course, but why? she said she going to paint some ceilings and thought she could use it to stop the paint splatters from landing on her hair........ i gave her three new ones and we always laugh about it now...

I had a new client in for a full set of nails. She had really bad hair regrowth, she was a natural brunette & you could very plainly see that she had dyed her hair blonde, as the regrowth was at least 6 inchs long. She told me that after she was finished getting her nails done, she had a hair appointment. I asked her if she was getting foils done, and she replied no she was just getting a hair cut because she was a natural blonde. I think she saw the look of shock on my face cos obviously she wasnt naturally blonde, but i didn't want to upset her so i just said "oh ok". Then she stood up saying no i'l prove it to you & before i could stop her & she pulled down her pants to show me that her "downstairs" was naturally blonde.

OH MY!!!
thats funny.

We used to have a high class escort in the salon, she used to come in at the same time every two weeks. I would be doing her nails and another client would arrive for the other tech, and she would nudge me and say 'I've done her husband' or 'her blokes one of my regulars'

The it got extremeley weird when my best friend found out her fiancee was cheating on her, turned out it was with this woman!

Talk about a rock and a hard place! xx

I once had a client come in for a full set with her four year old nephew. She had been in the hair salon downstairs getting her colour done and the little boy went to the toilet as soon as they came upstairs to the Beauty Salon.

I was in the middle of doing her nails when one of the girls knocked on the door and asked to speak to me for a minute.

It turned out the little boy had smeared his poo all over the wall of the toilet. I had a look at his hands when I came back into the room and saw he had "dirt" under his nails... I had to tell the client what happened and then asked the little boy to wash his hands. (I felt so sorry for the poor little mite)

I ended up washing them as she sat there saying how mortified she was... She said she didn't know how she was going to face the girl on reception on the way out.

The really weird thing was, she was so annoyed with the little boy and asked him why he did it and he replied "the blood on the back of my legs made me do it"!!!!

How weird is that???... she didn't speak after that and I kept asking what he meant but she just said she didn't know.

I must say it freaked me out!!!.... weird!!!

[beautyandthebod]

I had a woman come in for a set of nails she kept falling asleep, she'd wake up ask me a question I'd reply she'd fall asleep wake up and ask the same question again. when I'd nearly done she told me it was the drugs she was on. (more like the one's she'd taken). you never know who is going to be sat on the other side of that table when you answer that phone!:irked:

 

[Glamour Puss7]

I was doing nails for a client who was getting married the next day and she brought her little girl with her, well we all know how kids get very bored! I was working away and when I looked up to see what she was up to the child had her tongue on the glass of my retail cabinet! so I asked what are you doing, she said she had an ulcer on her tongue that was sore and she thought it would help as the glass is cold! Ha ha I could'nt stop laughing what are kids like, her mum was mortified and told her off Ha ha! " I cleaned the glass straight away when they left laughing for the rest of the day.:lol:

omg ya'll, this really brightens my day. Some days i wonder why i bother and then there are cases like this that make me come back to work we do get the goofy ones don't we?

I just thought of a good one. One of my very first clients would come in and tell me all the ways she'd planned to murder her hubby...i don't know if she ever succeeded.

I once got a woman who came in and her feet were disgusting...she then proceded to tell me she liked to clean out her horse stalls barefoot cause she liked the feel of it between her toes. :x

Once had a girl my age come in who was married to her ex father in law because the hubby ran off with his stepmom. She'd been to jail over it twice and didn't have custody of her two kids,

lol ladies, we have a great job!
