INSIDER NAILS

Oliver Bonas

The change in seasons means that people’s skin is reacting to fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels – and this includes the skin on your clients’ hands, too. Caring for the hands is an essential part of maintaining a manicure, and you told us you deal with a number of minor skin conditions in your work, including rough (42%), chapped (29%) and cracked skin (29%). Similarly, in the interest of keeping hands in the best condition, 20% of you encourage clients to take breaks between their gel-polish or acrylic manicure treatments if you think it’s necessary.

Dealing with unhappy clients is an uncommon but unfortunate aspect of running a nail business. Luckily, the tendency for clients to post excessive complaints online seems to be falling, with only 2% of you saying that you’ve received abuse from unhappy nail clients on social media recently.
