I had a client booked in last week for a spa manicure & spa pedicure.
She arrived still wearing nail enamel (I'm always suspect when new clients do that)
Anyway, I did the usual consultation, santised her hands & removed her nail enamel & nearly passed out (Fingernails). This poor lady had the worst case of onycholysis I've ever seen in my 7 year career.
I treated her nails with great care & performed a very gentle spa mani (CND). The pics show the before and after. She has booked in for fortnightly manis. With strict instructions to use solar oil carefully daily.
She is a severe picker of the skin around the nail and UNDER the nail, but not the nails themselves. She has never had enhancements on so I can only guess that this condition has been caused by the clients constant picking.
What would you of done differently in this case? Have I done the right thing?
Her toes....
She did tell me she used to have a fungal toe nail infection. Well after santising her feet & removing the enamel - you can see by the pics what I found. She also had something hard & brown growing under one of her toes. She doesn't wear trainers or go running or anything. I told her that I was unable to perform a pedicure/treatment on her feet as I suspected she had some sort of fungal toenail infection (told her I'm not qualified to diagnose etc) and recommended she seek out a podiatrist/doctor.
Again, what would you have done in this case?
