nail client horror stories

A common one is clients being late. They book an appointment but show up half an hour or even an hour late. This throws off the nail tech's schedule for the whole day. For example, if there are other clients booked after, it can cause a domino effect of delays.

One horror story I've heard was a client who kept changing their mind about the nail design. First, they wanted a simple French manicure, then added a bunch of intricate details like tiny flowers and gems. After the nails were done, they complained that it was too flashy and demanded a redo for free. It was really frustrating for the nail technician as a lot of time and materials had been wasted.

One story could be about a person who had a really bad nail infection after getting a manicure at a dodgy salon. The infection spread and caused a lot of pain and swelling.

One horror story could be when the nail polish doesn't dry properly. You think it's dry, then you accidentally touch something and it gets all smudged. Another is when the color turns out completely different from what you expected on your nails. It might look nice in the bottle but hideous on your nails.

Well, there was a case where a nail tech applied acrylic nails too thickly. It made the client's fingers feel extremely heavy and uncomfortable, like they were carrying weights on their fingertips. Also, some nail techs might not sterilize their tools properly. There was an instance where a client got an infection because of unsterilized tools. It was a nightmare for the client with redness, swelling, and pain around the nails.

One horror story is when a woman got acrylic nails and they were applied too tightly. It led to her natural nails becoming infected. There was redness, swelling and pain. She had to go to the doctor to get antibiotics and eventually had to remove the acrylic nails to let her natural nails heal.

One horror story could be when the nail dip product didn't adhere properly. A girl got it done for a special occasion. But within hours, parts of it started to chip off, making her nails look really messy and ruining her whole look for the event.

There was a person who got fake nails for a special occasion. They were really long and elaborate. But when she was trying to do some normal tasks like typing on a keyboard, she couldn't. She ended up breaking two of the nails while typing in a hurry. Then she had to deal with the jagged edges which were constantly snagging on things like her clothes and hair. It was a nightmare and she regretted getting such long and impractical fake nails.

One common horror story is when nail polish chips really fast. You just painted your nails all nice and then within a day or two, it starts looking all ragged. Another is when the color is not what you expected at all. You see it in the bottle as this beautiful shade but when it's on your nails, it's completely different.

One horror story is when a client asked for a very specific outdoor shoot. The photographer prepared everything, but on the day of the shoot, the client kept changing the location and the poses every few minutes. It made the whole process extremely chaotic and the photographer couldn't get the right lighting and composition most of the time.
