Ooooo Lordy Mercy Jean Ann Been there done that. I even had an 86 year old woman come in one time. Her feet were so bad from not only the stench but calluses and corns and grossly long nails. That I (me) who can stomach anything. Atleast I thought so then. Had to walk away several times because I was gagging so bad that if I didn't leave I just new I was going to throw up in the pedi tub right there. So Darling I feel your pain. Have you looked at Athena's website medinailtech.com and see the transformation that she did on the homeless woman??? It is just freakin amazing what she did for that poor list soul.

I have commented on several but never posted. So here goes..I had an elderly lady that came in today for a mani/pedi. She told me that she has some problems with her toes and so I told her that I would help her out in every way that I could. OMG..let me just say that I had never seen anything like what she put up on that foot rest. Total mess. I don't think that she had ever had a pedicure in her life. Toes shaped every which way but straight and the deepest ridges that I have ever seen. She told me that she likes her toe nails really short and after looking at them I told her that her hyponychium was really high. I then advised her that I would trim down as far as I could but due to hyponychium, I was limited to how far I could trim. Okay..we got past that part and she then advised me that she had several corns.several is an understatement!!!!!!!!!! I asked if she had seen a podiatrist for the excessive amount that she had.bless her heart. (we say that a lot in the south).lolol She said that her Dr. had told her that he would have to break all of her toes and re-set them in order for her to get relief from the corns..cuz of the shape causes friction, so CORNS, well, I never! Have ya'll ever????? She then proceeded to ask me to cut out all of the corns.I advised her that I would smooth them best that I could using my exfoliation methods and some product to soften but I would not cut them out. She became very upset with me stating that the was the reason that she came in for her service cuz she's heading to Chicago and will be on her feet a lot. I advised her of what I could do to make her as comfortable as possible and suggested that she have regular pedicures to help her condition and recommended Dr. Sholls medicated corn pads and cushions. So..what do ya'll think????? Jean Ann Knoxville, TN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
