I have noticed lately that there are monomers on the market that claim to be universal. Is there really a monomer that can be used with any acrylic system and have the product cure to the durability it should?
Can artificial nails make a nail fungus infection even worse than it already is? I was approached by a new client who has had a nail fungus since she was an infant (she is now 19). She says no treatments have worked so she’d like to get enhancements. Is it OK for me to work on her nails?
I have a client who has “hooked nails” where they curve sharply downward in the shape of her fingers. If she has acrylics put on will it grow that way? Or grow straight? I’m not sure what she can wear for her nail condition.
I heard that nails “peak” at age 20 in terms of health, strength, and growth rate and that by the time we hit 40, our nails grow at about half the rate they used to grow at our prime. Is that true?
I am a long-time nail enthusiast who finally found the time to go to nail school. I am enjoying my decision thus far, but I have found that acrylics (including odorless) bother my allergies and asthma. I was wondering what advice you might have. And could I be successful offering little to no acrylic services?
I have a client who became allergic to acrylic nails, so I switched her to gels and now, after 1 1/2 years, she has started having the same reaction with gels. A few of her fingertips swell and crack. What should I do? She still wants nail enhancements.
I saw a client who damaged her nails with nail hardener containing formaldehyde and all her nails have lifted from the nail bed — some worse than others. Will they repair themselves over time?
