Hi All,
Just after xmas a lady came into the wholesalers where I work. I know for a fact that for some time she has been going to a NSS nearby. Anyway on this occasion she was wearing gloves (unusual for her as she normally likes to flash different wacky airbrush designs !) Being abit curious, I asked her how her nails were, I thought she was going to start crying !
She took her gloves off and showed me her nails, or what was left of them! I couldn't believe my eyes ! Nearly every finger nail was completley gone, from the cuticle area she has about half a cm of nail, the rest is exposed nail bed. She said she was in agony. I told her to go straight to the doctors and also to take lots of photos.
She came back in today and I asked how she had got on. She said the doc didn't say much and that she will give me some of the photos. She was wearing glue on nails, so I couldn't really see the condition of her nails. She said they've grown a little, but don't seem to be re-attaching to the nail bed and also they have holes where they have been drilled.
She's quite distressed and has asked me if there is anything I/she can do. She's worried they may never re-attach or that the damage to her nail bed is permanent.
I said that it may be a good idea for her to remove the glue on nails, so she's going to do that. She's a hairdresser and said that she had put the stick on nails on to try to stop hairs from getting trapped down what little bit of natural nail she's got. I didn't want to advise her further as I wasn't completly sure.
What can I do ? Would a good pampering and plenty of solaroil help ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I'd also like to know who I can contact and forward these photgraphs to. I can't believe these people, how do they sleep at night, knowing they are causing so much damage and distress to people? I passed this so called salon on the way home from work earlier, I had to restrain myself from going in and giving them a gob full !!!
Thanx Sassy xxx
