Can you share the most common nail tech horror stories?

A common one is chipping. You paint your nails so nicely, but within a short time, they start to chip, especially if you do a lot with your hands. It looks really untidy.

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.

Sure. One success story is about a nail tech named Lily. She started from a small home - based salon. She focused on unique nail art designs inspired by nature. Through word - of - mouth and social media, her clients grew steadily. Now she has her own big salon in the city center.

A guy in a buzzfeed story had his nail ripped out during a sports accident. It was so painful that he almost passed out right on the field. He had to go through a long process of treatment and rehabilitation to get his finger back to normal. The whole experience was not only physically but also mentally traumatic for him as he was constantly reminded of the pain every time he looked at his finger.

One common element is unique services. For example, special nail art or using new materials.

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 common element is the fear of permanent damage. Whether it's from an accident where a nail is severely damaged or from an illness that attacks the nails. People are often horrified by the thought of never having normal - looking nails again. There are also stories where people have allergic reactions to nail products, which can cause the nails to become swollen, red, and painful.

One common horror story is when the nail polish color turns out completely different from what the client expected. Maybe it looks great in the bottle but once it's on the nails, it's a whole different, and often unflattering, shade.

One nail horror story is when a girl got a really bad fungal infection under her long nails. It started to turn the nails yellow and black, and it was extremely painful. She could barely touch anything without feeling a sharp pain. The smell was also very unpleasant. It took a long time and a lot of treatment to get rid of it.

The most common one is probably the virus or malware attacks. A company's network can get infected, and all the computers start acting up. The IT support has to isolate the infected machines, clean them up, and make sure the data is not stolen. It's a huge hassle.
