From some comments I'm getting, I see my sarcasm is lost on some lol. I don't care if you prefer to shave or not shave your legs. My comments were a joke about my clients who forget to shave for a while and have super prickly legs. They get embarrassed, but it's no big deal! :)

Hang Nguyen Why 6 year olds need pedi is beyond me!!!

@HangNguyen-ih8rf 6 лет назад

Chicago Gyrl It’s illegal to deny service base on race, age, physical condition, etc. There are plenty of people we would like to deny service to but we could get a sue case or some other troubles. What’s worst than a kid? An elderly person who have diabetes or on blood thinner. Extremely difficult and scary to work on them. I once have a teenage with tics and other mentally challenge issue who could not stay still and violently yell and jerking her hands every now and then. Still can’t deny service to them. Parents are dumb to be putting their child at such risk. I would not let any human cut my 3 yrs old nails. Accident happen.

@createinspain 6 лет назад

A lot of these issues could be largely obliterated if the person taking the appointments had a check list of things to ask - such as if the nails are already gelled or if extensions need removing. Nail techs time is valuable and they are highly trained. About time the same effort was put into training the reception staff!

I agree 100% with everything you said. Especially booking removals and add ons. I work at a spa were we don't do acrylic, just gel and polish. Our biggest problem lately is when some one comes in with NexGen. And either don't say anything or book it as gel. That shit is not gel! And takes forever to remove. If I have time I'll do it, otherwise they are just getting a pedi. People just don't get how big of an inconvenience it is. Oh, and I have another one. Don't help me put your shoes on. I know how to put sandals on with out messing up your toes. Don't pick up your foot or try to spread your toes. I got this.

This was a hoot to me as a client!! The one thing seriously I have a comment about. I don’t know how people run their book and I feel like it’s you (the nail tech) job to ask the person on the phone if they will be needing their old set removed. Problem solved.

@polishedbyamy 3 года назад

I totally get what you’re saying. However, the nail tech wouldn’t know that you have enhancements on that need to be removed, if you book a full set. So it’s important to book a removal service if you want that done within your appointment timeframe. It would be helpful if my booking site had an option where customers could answer pre-booking questions before picking their time!

@jasminbates6275 6 лет назад

Ik I’m really late but I recently went in for a dip powder removal and change of color. She kept hitting me with the drill. I wasn’t on my phone or anything because I think that’s rude. Is it okay to say “ma’am/sir that hurts” or maybe it was because I didn’t get a mani so she was trying to get my cuticles off? I just want to know how to go about this nicely and not come off as a rude person.

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

That can be an awkward situation. It seems like the nail tech just wasn't being very careful when using the drill. You could ask them next time to just soak them off for the removal instead of filing. If they won't do that, you can tell them you prefer a gentle touch with the drill :)

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

I'm sorry I didn't see this comment for so long! I use a foot paddle that has different grits on each side (one is more coarse than the other). If the client has calluses or super dry skin, I'll soak the area in a callus remover cream first and then exfoliate with the paddle :)

@tinarjackson9844 6 лет назад

I USE BABY FEET... THEN 2 WEEKS LATER I GET A PEDI

@Call-me-Al 6 лет назад

karen nr you should be regularly gently exfoliating your feet (e.g. brush them at the end of a shower), and moisturizing them daily (which makes it easier for the dead skin to naturally drop off through daily friction e.g. walking and in the shower when you do give them a bit of a scrub). If your skin grows unusually fast then you may want to use a moisturizer with a mild to strong chemical exfoliant, depending on if it's just a little bit faster or if it's straight up genetic mutation caused way too fast.

And my 5 year old sister is very mature for her age and she hasn't had a manicure or pedicure, but she would be VERY well behaved. I get your point that MOST OR SOME 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 year olds cause trouble and that MOST OR SOME kids cause trouble but not ALL kids are the same so you shouldn't say all kids or just kids instead of most kids or some kids.

TFS, what’s the difference between gel and acrylic?

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

They both come from the same "acrylic family" with their chemical makeup, but the obvious difference is what they look like. Acrylic is always a liquid and powder that the nail tech combines to form over your nails. Gel is always a goopy, jelly substance that comes in a bottle or pot.

@kimberlyjillian9022 6 лет назад

You can take them off at home the same way they should at a salon. Pick up a bottle of acetone from the store and soak your nails for 15 minutes. It will soften them enough to scrape them off. This way your nail won't get damaged underneath :)

Love this! Also don't sit and ask where I got all my products and then state that your going to try it yourself!

@polishedbyamy 7 лет назад

Oh my goodness that would be the worst! People really surprise me sometimes, haha!

@JimBob-kl5te 4 года назад

Might seem a silly question but should clients tell you if they are ticklish before you start a pedicure or do you ask? Surely nail techs like yourself have ticklish feet to?

@chicagogyrl7849 6 лет назад

I think when booking, the receptionist should ask if they need removal or not, since it's such a hassle!! Don't blame the people!!!! Also on your prices, they should list "soak off", and to let them know to tell the person doing the booking! And it should say soak offs require extra time, and list the time. How are people suppose to know if you don't tell them??!!

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

I definitely agree with you. That's why I always add that memo before a client is able to complete booking online. It says for them to add a removal to their service before booking another service because of the extra time it takes :)

@chicagogyrl7849 6 лет назад

Polished By Amy Thats right! As long as you know ahead of time, it is not a problem.

I have never gone to a nail salon I wnat to but I’m scared do I have to make a appointment earlier or Can i just show up? Also my fingers have a lot of like idk what they are called but they are not pretty do they care cause I feel like imma feel uncomfortable

@polishedbyamy 3 года назад

Most nail salons take appointments and walk in's, so it's whatever you want to do. Nail tech's don't care what your nails look like when you come to us, because it's our job to make them fabulous! Go get pampered girl! :)

@danielafernandez6420 3 года назад

@@polishedbyamy Thank you!

@Layla-cb9ws 4 года назад

if you have naturally sweaty hands what do you do about it? bc I'm nervous and kinda scared that they will say something about my hands

@polishedbyamy 4 года назад

You don't have to worry about anything! The nail tech is there to make your nails fabulous, so just enjoy being pampered! :)

@brookiecookie4491 4 года назад

*Htx* Layy for reallllll I went like a couple times and personally I have extremely sweaty hands like I’m talking sometimes dripping and one time even though the guy was nice about it which is a positive he also admitted to it and was like “sweaty hands 👀🤚🏻💦😂” and turned on the fan it was soooo embarrassing and I suggest before going just try relaxing and not thinking about your hands about to sweat, don’t know if this well help it works for me and I’m like 14 ;-;

@stefanie.m4776 5 лет назад

If anyone knows..what to say then what do you tell the person doing your nails if you want an ombré...but acrylics because I’ve seen people(RU-vid) doing them with like the color of the acrylic I’m not sure...🤷🏻‍♀️

@polishedbyamy 5 лет назад

You can tell them that you'd like a soft ombre with acrylic. Some nail techs don't offer acrylics, so make sure you choose a salon that does! :)

@stefanie.m4776 5 лет назад

Polished By Amy thank you:)..but where I went I just showed my nail tech what I wanted once she came she was so sweet but thank you😁

I'm of two minds about kids I take my four year old cus she loves getting pedis only time I ever see her sit still for anything

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

I love having children get services done, they are SO fun! Its a different story when just the parents are getting the service done and leave their children to wander lol

@ol3770 6 лет назад

Well behaved kids are the best! I love doing their nails when they sit still and talk politely. If they want designs i will do my best to give them the cutest designs i could possibly do (cupcakes, pineapples, flowers...). Some kids would just constantly moving and splashing water out of the pedi bowl, and jump every time i touch them. Thats exhausting...

@Krystal091989 5 лет назад

Polished By Amy I’m glad you clarified this, because my little girl loves getting her nails done. Like above, my daughter will sit still to get her nails done but not for much else.

@1Skorpia 4 года назад

If they are well behaved sure but if the kid is squirming it's a nightmare.

How do acrylics nails ruin your nails?

@polishedbyamy 2 года назад

Acrylic doesn't! Filing too much or peeling off your acrylics is what causes the damage unfortunately

@brookecox600 6 лет назад

I've never had acrylic nails I've thought about it a free times but afraid it will ruin my nails...is it really damaging or am I over thinking things

@polishedbyamy 6 лет назад

The acrylic isn't damaging at all! The damage happens when a nail tech doesn't prep your nails right before they put them on, and when they are removing them wrong. If you find yourself a quality nail tech, you won't have to worry about that and you'll have a great experience! :)

@brookecox600 6 лет назад

Thank you for that information... you are actually the first RU-vidr to answer me

@LK-on6rw 5 лет назад

I have a nail app tomorrow and I'm never on my phone but where do I look if my nail tech isn't talking to me,like do I look at her look at my nails? What do I do 😂

@polishedbyamy 5 лет назад

Haha! I understand that, I was just referring to clients who have their phone in their hands the whole time!

@hey.gorgeous 7 лет назад

I was never told at school that a client had to wait 48 hours after shaving, before being able to get a pedicure. Why is that now? I've gone myself to get a pedicure right after shaving. Is it bad?

@polishedbyamy 7 лет назад

It's because you get micro-abrasions on your legs from shaving. If you are then exposed to an unsanitary pedicure bowl or jet spa, you have the possibility of getting an infection. If you go to a salon that plays by the rules when it comes to disinfection, you'll be fine! :)

@hey.gorgeous 7 лет назад

+Polished By Amy Awesome! Thanks for the reply! 😄 I figured that might be it, at least I'm informed now, and I know what else to ask. Love your channel, been learning lots and getting myself ready for when I'm licensed and what to expect, some what. Thank you once again for replying!

@isanaallday9744 6 лет назад

Most of the salons now put the plastic thing in the jet tub before putting water in it so that's ok right.

@khanhvinhct 6 лет назад

Cher A no it’s not. If your get a spa pedicure that comes with scrub to exfoliate your skin, your skin will get irritated, causes rashes, a big chance to get infection. Liners help prevent the infection from previous clients, but you can get infection from dirt after your get the pedicure too.

Sooooo that cheese grater looking thing is illegal??? Because that was used on me the last time I had my feet done...

Yep, it's illegal to use in a salon in my state and many others in the US!

Bewitched | Really, can you not be without a phone for 2 hours?

@itsyagirlindica3505 6 лет назад

Eleonore Bon um... no i cant. you obviously dont know what its like to be busy... im attatched to my phone. It has a f computer and everything on it. My life. My work, saftey, everything. I dont sit and talk on my phone at the salon but if i have to id like to see if i can still be curtious.

@eleo_b 6 лет назад

Bewitched | That must be intense. I’m a corporate lawyer for an international law firm, always working on cross border matters across time zones, and I thought I was online a lot. But luckily, I can still respond to an email or call an hour later. As for safety, I have never had to worry about that at a nail salon! But everyone is different.

@itsyagirlindica3505 6 лет назад

Eleonore Bon i dont care. Lawyers are assholes anyway.
