Not Just Nail Techs Anymore

It seems a though, today, everyone is becoming something other than a Nail Tech.  I see product manufacturers, show promoters and nail competitions organizers.

It seems as though everyone and her sister are peddling "My custom mix" or my favorite tools on Instagram and Facebook.  So they took some powders, mixed them to make the perfect nude for them and now they want to sell it to you.  Where are the MSDS sheets of the product that they mixed?

Next all these little nails only shows popping up.  Reports are that they are very unorganized and lots of bills are still waiting to be paid on these events.

Finally competitions.  People are still waiting for their prizes.  I've heard complaints of favoritism, people not having to pay entry fees and shoddy judging.

Stick to what you do best.  Doing nails and judging each other work online behind their back.

My Family Drives Me Nuts - READER SUBMISSION

I hate the holidays.  Every year it seems like my sisters and inlaws come out to bug me for free services.  I am NOT here to offer free nails for my husband's sister when she is in town.   Why is it that I always have to either be sweet and nice and give in, or the bitch sister in law who didn’t offer free services.  I’ve only been doing nails a few years, but it seems to get worse and worse each year.

Last year my sister…. lets just call her “Pam”... came over at Thanksgiving and had nicely asked if I would polish her nails. I said “sure, thats fine”.  When she got to my salon and I offered her the polish colors she looked at me like my head was cut off and asked if these were the ones that stay on a long time, “the gel kind”?  I told her as politely as I could that “no, she had asked for polish”.  She argued with me asking why I couldn’t just do the gel.  I gave in and started to prepare her nails for gel…. making what was supposed to be a 10 minute quick polish into an hour full gel manicure.  I figured it was fine, all over, no problem, I can be nice and give her a free gel manicure.  Not so fast.  That weekend we were at our moms house for thanksgiving, and yes, you guessed it!!  My other sister AND mommy dearest started in on me about coming to the salon to get their gel manicures too!

Its hard to say no, I’m a giver, it's the southern girl in me. But I’m just so sick of feeling like I’m taken advantage of by the women in my family.  This year, I vow to be tougher.  To stand up to them and say “you want a service? make an appointment!”  I just hope I can get the courage to do it before they start on me about what color they want this year.

Proof That The Truth Does Hurt!

I guess the only way to deal with someone exposing your wrong doing is first try to discredit them.  Guess that didn't work.  Next is to try to silence them.  Do the right thing.  That's all you have to do.  Take this energy and do the right thing.

Nail Techs Design For Charity

Really?  Charity?

So, while I think this is a very good idea, I do have to question the financial aspect of this project.  100 shirts each of 12 different designs will be made and sold for $40 plus $8 shipping.  It states that 10% of the sale will go to the charity.

So, design number one, 100 shirts at $40 a shirt = $4,000.  $400 goes to charity.  $3,600 goes to whom?  Let's assume that these shirts cost $20 each, using the standard mark up of 100%.  That means the shirts cost $2,000, leaving $1,600 unaccounted for.  Let's even give the benefit of the doubt that the shirts cost $30, which is high, even for that type of shirt, that's still $600 unaccounted for.

Now take in the big picture and take the above and times it by 12 different shirt designs in sets of 100.  Who's pockets are being lined?  State your financials.

A Message From Carla Collier

Recently my nail life has taken a different turn. I am so happy with where I’m at and who I am in this stage of my life and career that I am tempted to go on with my happy self and ignore any negativity that tries to threaten that but my true friends, mentors and family have urged me to address a few things floating around about me. I am only going to say this once so if you miss it and choose to continue believing the crazy drama then I wish you all the best because it really is just pure fantasy and if you have no idea what I’m talking about just know ignorance is bliss in this case and go on your merry way.

First I will say I am in no way any anonymous voice for the nail industry. As anyone who knows me can attest to I have no problem telling anybody to their face exactly what’s on my mind—probably to a fault. I will try to use tact as to not hurt your feelings however if you ask me my feelings on something or thoughts about it please be prepared to hear the truth. I am an outspoken, confident person that can agree to disagree but will not hesitate to speak if I see something wrong. Usually I do not have to approach anybody. If something is not right it seems that I will always be approached first.  I want to encourage and help people do better nails and also inspire people to achieve their greatest potential. It’s really my mission out here because we all know there’s no money in it truly it is a passion. If someone does something mean or is rude to me I will just quite frankly ignore them and try my best to steer clear of them. So you see doing something to purposely antagonize someone is so completely out of my character.

Second I need to just let ya’ll know that I don’t have time to write the blog I’m actually paid to write let alone write one for free that in no way can compensate me for my time. I just do not have the energy or time to devote to anything more than what I do now. Letting anybody rob my joy, happiness, power or energy by giving any real thought to slanderous, angry comments or accusations are just out of the question. If people choose to believe what they hear or read about me so be it.  Also please know that I will not be responding to or engaging in any negative comments or conversations regarding this.

And last you can all know my computer hard drive is completely open for anyone to look at if they so choose. So I say to my accusers prove it!

I am always on my way to something better… love to you all Carla

A Message From Lysa Comfort

I now have four "web masters".  People, who have access to this blog and can post for me.  Why can't I post to my own blog?  Well in the past week, there have been SIX attempts to hack into my email accounts.  So, I am not taking any chances since the vultures are still trying to silence me.

Speaking of vultures.....here's an email that I got.  I have printed it, just as she typed it.  Enjoy.

So Nancy, 
Your page is designed for people to tell it like it is, correct? So I thought it time I shared my story for you to post since I've been attacked without cause. 
So I am a competition judge. I tried to put on a competition here in a small US beauty show since all of the big shows are being monopolized by Nailpro and it obvious that it is ruining competition here in America. After all, they can't even get more than 3 people to compete in their international qualifying comp that sends the winner to Germany. What does that tell you, right? 
So I invited Nailpro's head judge, Carla Collier to judge because she was begging me to judge in London forever and frankly they just weren't interested in her because she is considered a has been. Ya know, washed up loser?. You got my point. Unwanted because she sucks... 
Anyways, so I invited her to judge. She is taken care of in a very nice manner. She is treated with kindness and respect, she clearly has complete access to see how the scores are tallied and clearly sees there is absolutely no chance cheating could occur, and yet she goes on this brutal rampage to start trying to make me and the competition out to be a scam. That the scoring system wasn't good and that I was unethical! Why, you ask? Well I don't know? I did nothing to her to prompt this mean and nasty behavior. She claims to be a good Christian, but clearly she is not. So I don't get it really?  What's her issue? Is she just jealous? She she just a miserable person who nobody loves? I'm not quite sure. But I think it is terrible that she thinks it's ok for her to abuse her position in the industry and slander me all over it. It's time she faces me and we have a show down to put this to rest once and for all. So I'm asking you to please post this for all to see so that she might feel inclined to actually answer for her actions. Let's see how big she really is? If she stands behind the slanderous comments she feels inclined to spread to everyone! If this page is really here for us to use as a place to put it all out there for all to see, I would say that you have no choice to pick and choose what you post, correct? And if you do not post this letter, well then I'll be happy to post it everywhere I can possible so that everyone can see that you are actually just using this blog to satisfy your own need to bitch and complain. And I don't need to hind behind any anonymous name. Please do put that I wrote it because I am not afraid of the truth to come out! 
Your truly,
Lysa Comfort
Aka "the mastermind" 

A Message From Nancy

I was contacted by Nancy Nailtech, because she recognized that I believe in her mission to bring a voice to people who can’t speak about things publically, for whatever reason.  She gave me her login information to this blog so that I could post this for her.  Why? You ask?  Because some people are doing everything possible to find out her true identity.  She wants to remain anonymous.

Here’s her message:

I deactivated my Facebook account for one reason and one reason only.  Vultures are pointing their finger at the wrong person.  WITHOUT PROOF!  This person probably doesn’t have a clue that she is being fingered as being me.  Shame on everyone spreading it.

Every single one of you, who were blasting me for posting things that they “feel” aren’t true, you are absolutely no better, when you are spreading the rumor of who it is, without proof.  Hypocritical?  I think so.

It’s a shame that people want to ruin a reputation of someone, who did nothing, without proof.  Oh, you can say I did that, HOWEVER, those people all did something that they SHOULD be ashamed of.  Canceling classes and not refunding money.  Companies mud slinging false accusations about their competitor.  Competition judges that are anything but honest and fair.  Competitors with big heads that are sore losers.

Each and everyone of these people did these things and did them publically for all to see.  They put themselves in a position to ruin their own reputation, with no help from me, other than to pass the word on.

The person you are falsely accusing.  What did she do?  I can tell you, she did nothing, because what you are accusing her of doing was MY doing.

So, go on, you hypocrites.  I am not gone.  I will be back, the next time I see something that needs brought to light, you bet your sweet ass I’ll be back.

Meow!

I’m Being Petty?

Reader Submission

Myself and Tech A were doing a large party of teen girls on Saturday.  We both could only work to a certain time due to other plans.  Tech B was also working, but was fully booked.  Myself and Tech A were booked tight and these appointments were made over a month ago. 

Two days before the appointments, the host called to see if she could add two more people.  I explained that Myself, and Tech A were totally booked with their party as well as Tech B, who would also be there.  Imagine my surprise when I come in to work on Saturday and receive a call from the host to see which type of appointment was available for the two add-ons since we were doing hands or feet and it depended on if a pedicure chair was open.

I was confused since I specifically told her that we didn’t have anywhere to add two more people.  She replied that she had called earlier and that Tech B said it would be okay.  So, I ASSUMED that Tech B had an opening and put them in with her.  I checked the book and NO, there was no indication that two people had been added to our very busy schedule for that day.

I asked Tech B about it and she said, yes, I told them to bring them, someone could do them.  I asked WHO was doing them and she just looked at me like what a dumb question.  I asked where they were in the book, she said she didn’t write them in because she had no idea what the plans were for that group.  Again, I asked who is doing them.

To top it all off, Tech B had a cancellation and moved her last two people UP so she could leave early.  SHE could have serviced the two add-ons that SHE said we could do.  NOPE. She left early and I had to stay an hour over and I was late for the concert I was going to.

Tech B has the nerve to say I over reacted and was being petty.  Really?  Oh and I am the salon owner.

Signed, So I am Being Petty???

Disappointed In My Mentor

Reader Submission

I’ve wanted to write this and send this to you for sometime now.  Recently things have gotten so out of control, I have no choice, but to write this all down and vent.  Anonymously, of course.

When I was a brand, new nail tech, I found a mentor online.  She lived hours from me, but she was willing to help me online.  She guided me in the beginning of my career and for that I am forever grateful. 

Through the years, I progressed in my career and my skills.  My mentor did not.  It came to a point where I surpassed her.  I am not being conceited.  It’s a fact and one that is noticed by others.  I have tried to pass on to her, what I’ve learned.  She is older.  She is stubborn and I am finally able to admit this to myself, she is jealous.

She has recently been very horrible to me, not directly, but I am not stupid.  She has talked behind my back to people who are mutual friends.  These friends have shared with me the things she is saying about me.  Things that are totally not true.  She is saying these things to get people to not like me to make herself look superior.  What is interesting, is that instead of that happening, these people are true friends to me and are telling me what she is doing and what she is saying.

I can’t tell you how disappointed this makes me.  This is someone who I looked up to.  Someone who I admired.  Now, she is someone that I pity.

I pity her because she can’t see how mean and hateful she is being.  I pity her because she can’t see what a hypocrite she is when she puts down others for being mean and being bullies, yet she is one and the same.  I pity her because she can’t see that she is stuck in the past and she needs to move into the future, yet she is too stubborn to do so.  I pity her because instead of taking offers to help or take suggestions from others, she has to discount every single thing that others say.  She has to one up others constantly.

I will take this as my final lesson from my mentor.  This is a lesson of what NOT to be.  I will never be a person that is jealous of someone that I helped, just because they turned out to exceed me in skills.

Sincerely,

Disappointed in my Mentor

Here's a lil reminder...some clients just CAN'T be told everything you do for them. Fabulous stylist, mistaking her client for an educated client...discussed her work while styling: "This time your low lights are still looking good, so we didn't need to redo those, so I broke your base and threw some nice highlights up on top to blend that base in." Client only heard "no need to redo low lights"....and texts me (the person who does her lashes) on Sunday morning...at 5:45a.m. multiple texts ranting about how her hair looks like she did it herself--it's "all the same color, no variation"... Wrong on soooo many levels! Sunday? 5:45am? (get a life!) I am not your hair stylist!

I did not reply...Sunday is my sacred day and I do not do business that day. Sunday night at 8:30 I get another long rambling set of texts...and copies of the same texts she'd sent to the stylist. Holy crap! I waited til the next day (still my day off...but still....) to say that the stylist is extremely talented and I am sure she used her professional eye to be sure the color looked great, but if your eye is not pleased, I am sure she will be happy to tweak it. Sheesh!
******
Phone Conversation: Me: What days/times are you available?
Client: Any day after 4:00.
Me: How about today at 4:30?
Client: No it's my mother's birthday
Me: How about tomorrow at 5:00?
Client: No, I have kick boxing.
Me: How about Friday at 3:30?
Client: No I have to get my car inspected on Friday.

WHAT PART OF THE QUESTION DID SHE NOT UNDERSTAND????
******
You work the same days and times each week.  Your children are adults.  Why do they need to call you 10 plus times a day.  It's ridiculous.  If it's an emergency, have them call the salon, shut your ef'n phone off!!!!!!
Laziness is not a becoming quality to have.


I am sorry that you don't like the color that you have on, that you decided an hour later that you can live any longer if it is on your toes.  You picked it.  I will not redo it for free.  Choose you color more wisely next time.


People who can't take constructive criticism, or can't be open to suggestions will not have a clientele for long.


I AM A CLIENT!  I am sick and tired of you talking on your cell phone while you are doing my nails.  "I" am paying for your time.  I am not paying you to talk on the phone and multi-task by doing my nails.  It's incredibly rude and I am not going to put up with it again.  The next time you answer your phone, I am going to pull my hands away and  give you privacy for your phone call.  You can continue working on me when you end your call.


Why can some people not see how incredibly filthy their station is.  Just take a few minutes to clean your station.  It makes a world of difference.


Some need to quit making excuses for their client's nails being a mess when they come in.  If it was one or two clients, you can blame them for not taking care of them.  When nearly all of your clients are a mess, it's time to start looking at yourself.  YOU are the problem.  You need to figure out what you are doing wrong and correct it.  Stop passing the buck onto the client.


I am so glad we got WiFi in the salon.  Now some are doing even less than they did before.  Instead of doing things that need to be done like returning phone calls or restocking things, we are playing games.  Lovely.


If you don't want that string, hair, fuzzie or whatever it is that you are picking off of yourself, on your body, I sure as hell don't want it on my floor.  Throw it in the trash.


A COWARD is someone who posts on Facebook with passive aggressive, cryptic status messages.  Grow a pair.
Those who criticize others are usually lacking in the same areas that they are criticizing in.


Those shortcuts that you are taking to do the client as fast as you can, so you can get on FB are going to bite you in the ass in two weeks.


I am so sorry that I filled your two hour gap with a full set of nails and bling toes.  I guess you didn't want the $120 in services, you wanted to go run errands.  Are you here to work or not?  Now if you were still open, you would be bitching that you had gaps.  I can't win.  Do you want to work or not????

Who Makes This List?

Okay, this photo has been floating around Facebook for a couple of days.  This is the second time I have seen this "List", maybe even the third time.  Each time I've seen this list I had the same though, "Who in the hell made this list?"

Now, don't get me wrong, there are a number of people on that list that deserve to be on that list.  Then there are those on there that you are like, who the hell is that?  I've been around the block in the past 18 years, I know a lot of people.

So, who actually makes this list?  What's their criteria for making this list?  To me, it looks like any company that submits an "Educator" and I use that term loosely, is ranked based on what classes they teach at shows and what industry events they participate in.

This list is a sham.  You know it and I know it.  This list is lacking.  Even though you can't see the whole list of 40, you have to ask yourself, where is Holly Schippers?  Where is Elaine Watson?  Where is Lynn Lammers?  Where is Joseph Pham?  These people are more talented than some on those list, they educate tirelessly to make us all better professionals.  Where are they?  Maybe they were too humble to toot their own horn.

Is Your Second Face Pretty?

Recently, I came across some postings of someone who was criticizing work that was being done at a beauty show.  I decided to look this tech up.  OMG.  Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!  Her work was subpar, at best, yet here she is criticizing the people who are trying to make her a better nail tech.

Maybe if people, like this tech, would get off of their high horse and quit trying to revel in the mistakes of others and actually try to learn from someone, maybe they can be as awesome as they THINK they are.  Because it is clear to see, they need help.

I just shake my head at some of these people in this industry.  If you are out there, putting yourself out and trying to make a difference and make people better professionals, KUDOS to you.  Don’t let these jealous bitches, who can’t do a decent nail to save their life cut you down.  Carry on.

Let Me Help You!

So, I've already got one illegal salon shut down and now I am working on a few others.   I want to shut as many as possible down.

We've all been in the position, at one point in our careers, where we have a local salon or even a salon we work in or have worked in, that are blatantly thumbing their nose at the law.  What do you do?  If you turn them in and they find out who you are, they say you are jealous.  That you are only doing it because they are your competition.

What if you aren't jealous, but you are just sick to death of following the rules and laws that all are to abide by and are sick and tired of everyone else breaking the rules/laws and getting away with it?  Well, let me help you!!

I will turn those salons into your state board for you!!  Now, I am not going to do all of the work, so you have to do the work for me, so that I can easily report these salons.

Things I need:

Link to your state board's site, preferably the complaint page.
Link to salon's Facebook Page or website that shows proof of wrong doing.
Photos of wrong doing.
Anything that can PROVE your case and get the attention of the state board.

Let's start cleaning up our industry.  One salon at a time!  Email me at nailtechtalk@yahoo.com or friend me Nancy Nailtech on Facebook and send me a private message.  I will submit everything under my name and keep you totally anonymous.

Is it really necessary to call six times about a simple manicure and pedicure appointment over three weeks.  THEN, call and cancel that appointment the day of the appointment.  Why did you waste all of our time on all of those phone calls only for you to cancel.  Go someplace else next time.

I am really sick and tired of people asking for one service and booking it and when they get in your chair, they want something totally different than what you discussed on the phone.  Are people drinking stupid juice?

Thank you so much for coming in for a full set of nails on with NSS “Shellac” already on your nails and not letting us know you had it on and it needs to be removed.  You have colored gel on your nails, which we finally figured out 30 minutes into your appointment when it would not soak off.

Person leaves a message, we call back and leave a message, person calls back to confirm message, we have to call back again, person calls back to confirm message again.  How about you listen to the message and understand it.  No need for all these unnecessary messages and call backs.

Do you really think we can discuss nail options via text???

So, you thought your appointment was at 2, when it was at noon, yet the text you received, and that you agreed to, clearly states noon.  But this was a misunderstanding?  Um, no, it’s a no show and you owe a fee.

I love when things grow legs and run away in the salon, without anyone seeing it.

Shut DOWN!

Well, I got an illegal salon shut down.  Now the offender is crying foul.  She says she's been licensed since 1998 and only does nails (in her home, illegally) for family and friends and she doesn't charge.  Well, I am sure her state board found the following items just as incriminating as I did.

• Why do you have a BUSINESS Facebook Page then?
• With a business name?
• If you aren't charging, then why are you telling people how much you charge when they ask?

I totally call bullshit.  You were caught fair and square.  Now you want to change your story.  I think the most ridiculous statement you made was:

"I am up to code on everything and have my nail license and was unaware of having to have a salon license since Im not a salon, I don't do hair!!!"

So, only people who do hair have to have a salon license?  Really?  Are you really that stupid?  Further, I doubt that you are "Up to code on everything".  I am certain that your salon does NOT meet the following requirements that your state REQUIRES for an in home salon:

• To have an entrance that allows you to enter from the street and not through any part of the home.
• To have a bathroom that is only used for the salon.
• That you have a minimum area of 180 square feet and a minimum width of 10 feet.
• That you have the minimum furniture and equipment listed, which includes a manicure table, two chairs, pedicure basin and a RECEPTION DESK.

I highly doubt that you meet all of the requirements above, since most home owner's have to do major renovations to meet state board requirements.

You are now encouraging all of your "family and friends" who you have been servicing, (I lost count after 80) write on your ILLEGAL businesses wall so that state board can see their support.  REALLY???

Do you not get it through your head that you are BREAKING THE LAW.  That is why state board shut you down!  They don't give a shit what your family and friends have to say.  Actually, this is not going to help you, it's only going to prove HOW MUCH illegal activity you have been doing!  You are ensuring a fine and loss of your license.

I don't feel bad for you one bit.  You broke the law.  You are now angry that you got caught.  Sorry, you can trash the Vietnamese salons all you want, but you know what?  You are no better than the worst of them AND some of them are better than you are.  They are legal.

oh oh oh I have one.... no you can not buy a jar of the acrylic powder(custom blended colour that I made up because you didn't like any of the existing 5 colour options for your nail bed) from me so that if you go to another tech you will have the colour you love.  I'm not the only one who has noticed your negative attitude about everything either- we've had clients ask not to be booked in for their hair or nail appointments when you are in for an appointment because your moaning gave them a headache.  Yes I realise I am moaning now but I'm about to go to work to do your nails, then a deluxe pedi and then your waxing- I have you for the next 2-3 hours *shudders* 

So it's okay for you to move your appointment around constantly, but it's not okay for me to be sick and have to stay home in bed?

Please quit bathing in your perfume.  You smell like a French whore and you make everyone in the salon sick when you come in.

Flush the toilet.  You are not five.

When a client comes in and is totally going on and on about how horrible their last salon was, it makes me want to never rebook them because it's just a matter of time before I am the subject of that same story.

If you have been to four different salons and had problems with your nails, what makes you think I have a magic wand to make things successful?  After FIVE different techs work on you, it is obvious that YOU are the problem.

I cringe when I hear my co-worker ask "Do you want change back?"  Never ask for a tip.  Just give the person their change and let them give you a tip if they want to.  Worse is when she takes a credit card and asks "Do you want to put a tip on here?"   There are much better ways to handle these things.

Pretend manicurists are really starting to piss me off.

Hey crazy, take your crazy and find someone else to put up with your crazy.

Manufacturers - You REALLY need to make your items acetone resistant!  We use acetone for crying out loud.  I am sick to death of paying top dollar for your stuff only to have it ruined by a tech that is sloppy with her acetone.

Thank you big, expensive, nail manufacturer for charging me an arm and a leg for a brush, that all of the hairs fall out and then tell me that I didn't take care of it right.  I've been doing nails for 10 years and never had a problem with a brush like this.

Who Are You?

I hear the murmurings.  I see the insinuations.  I am not blind, nor am I dumb.  I see that some are claiming that they know my identity.  I have to laugh, because some of those claiming it the most, I have never met in my entire life and never and an interaction with until I became anonymous.

How do I know so much, you ask?  Well it’s not hard.  It’s very easy to see things via Facebook and the Internet.  Even though I am not friends with everyone, I can still see most of your interactions with others that I am friends with.

I see how two faced some people are.  How they openly talk about others thinking that they can’t see it just because they adjusted the privacy settings so that the person they are talking about can’t see it.  Someone may have their account set to friends only and I am not your friend, but when one of my friends comments on your stuff  “I” can then see it all.

So, it doesn’t take someone in the know, or someone who is wildly known to see and know things.  Even a newbie to the industry could do the same.

So, why is it so important that people know who I am?  Is it because I called you out on something?  You didn’t like what I had to say?  Maybe something written has hit a little close to home and hurt your widdle feelings?  Grow up.   Learn from it.  Move on and be a better person because of it.

To those who are certain you know who I am.  Prove it.  I know you don’t have it.  Truth is, I could be anyone.  I could be your competitor next door.  I could be the tech working in the chair next to you.  I could be your best friend.  I could be your boss, or I could be the booth renter that you abuse.  See, no one knows for certain who I am.  No one that is, but me.

You are not all that.  You may think you are, but you are not.  Anyone can be anyone they want online and it is clear that you are not what you think you are.  So take your holier than thou attitude and shove it up your ass.  Go do some nails and quit trying to tell people what to do all of the time.  Maybe if you were busier at your nail table you wouldn’t have all this extra time to be all up in everyone else’s business. 

Why do my client’s misbehave when I am off sick and one of the other girls in the salon does their nails?  They wouldn’t come in 30 minutes late with me and expect me to do their nails, why do they expect others?  I am ticked.

How many family emergencies before you finally say to someone that this is too many, you need to pay the late cancellation fee.  They find out that emergencies give you slack so they use that each and every time.

Why don’t nail companies answer their emails?

Hey OPI, your Gel Color sucks ass.  Just like your polish did.  I can’t believe people buy this crap.

Some people need to take their nose out of the air.  We all wipe our butts the same way.  You are not better than me.

I am sickened by how many people think that they can eat at their nail appointment.

Thank you to the inconsiderate jerk who shared their sickness with me.  We don’t get sickdays when we are self-employed.  Next time, reschedule your appointment when you are sick.

Too many people lie to your face.  Why can’t you just admit you did something wrong.  It will gain you more respect, admitting it, than you do by lying to cover it up.

I’m sorry, I know it’s trendy, but putting nail foil on your lips makes you look trashy and like you are trying too hard.  It’s NAIL FOIL that you can get for $1 at Dollar Nail Art! 

Please remove your 999 bottles of juice, that are half filled in the salon fridge.  It’s a shame when we can’t put anything in there because you have a years supply of daily bottles in there.  Other people work here too.

If you can’t afford your nail appointment, don’t make one.  NO we can’t do your nails today and have you pay next week.  Also, don’t tell us this after we have finished your service.  Please do not call to rebook.
