How do I turn down a nail client with chemical sensitivities?

I did a LivingSocial deal and I have this client who has cancelled her appointment due to a migraine, which she gets frequently. Also she apparently has chemical and environmental allergies. I think it would be better for her not to get her nail service. How do I go about telling her this?

Do you wear gloves while doing pedicures (or any service)?

Does it detract from the service experience or put both the tech and client at ease that the highest standards are being followed?

Why have my client’s nails begun lifting from the nail bed?

I have a client who has worn pink-and-white acrylic for years, but all of a sudden all her nails have begun lifting from the nail bed. It’s a very small amount, only on the right side of the nails. It almost looks fungal. She has not changed anything, diet, medication, etc., that we can think of. Do have any ideas what this could be?

What precautions should be taken by a diabetic nail tech?

I am a cosmetologist and would like to start doing nails, but I have also been diagnosed as a diabetic and must do finger sticks daily. Should I be concerned about infections? I see a lot of info on the diabetic client, but not the diabetic nail tech. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
