Hi Diana: Don't know if this is the kind of story you want. About 12 - 14 years ago I had a new client at The Clinic I was working in as a Clinical Esthetician (since changed to Medical Esthetician) and had a new client come to me for a pedicure, her name was Joanne. Joanne brought her friend along with her -- no problem often patients/clients would bring a friend. I proceeded to do her pedicure, chatting with her the entire time. She and her friend chose her polish and we finished the service. Before I could ask her to book her next appointment she said with some amazement "You didn't even hurt me or draw any blood." I explained a pedicure should be an enjoyable experience and should not hurt certainly not draw blood, under any circumstances. She then told me the last place she went always hurt her and made her bleed so she thought since I was in a Medical Clinic if she bled maybe the Dr. could check her cut. Several years later she was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and because I'm so stringent on checking her feet, insisting that she see the Dr. about something on her feet or if I suspect a fungal infection and have even been known to 'argue' with her when she doesn't want polish PLUS I made the mistake of telling her my son's best friends' wife said after several years of my trying to get polish and a little art on her toes with a pedicure that she guessed this time she'd let 'The Pedicure Nazi' polish and put some art on her toes -- so for the past 10 years I've been known as The Pedicure Nazi or PN. Even my youngest client (now 7) tells her Mom that it's time to see the Pedicure Nazi -- this is all in good humour and fun. Joanne explained to people at her father's funeral, after introducing me as The Pedicure Nazi, that if I ever had the nerve to retire she would have her feet cut off and wheels installed so she could just be pushed about.

Kind of weird/odd request. But I have to write something up this weekend. And started thinking of all the stories we have heard from our clients on what happened to them at that other salon. Ya know, the razor blade cuts, the fungus, the infections etc. etc. But for some reason or the other (she was nice, I didn't know I could complain, I didn't want to be bothered, blah blah) they didn't report it to anyone. Do you have any info of what happened, what type of service etc. Even if it came from your client and nothing was reported. But if it was wrote about in an article thru the media, t.v. or newspaper would be awesome to have a link. Either way would be great. Just trying to get a grasp of how many are out there. Thanks for any help. Should have asked you sooner. diana from indiana -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NailTech" group.
