Nicole, The UV lights do come in a mini-size (sort of). We have one at the salon, it has just one 9 watt bulb in it. The girl I work with got it so that we could try out the gel polishes before investing in a full size light. It was a bit inconvenient for the nails as you had to cure the thumbs separately, however she's using it for pedicures and it's perfect for that! Depending how this woman's fingers/nails are lined up, it may be a much better lamp for you to use with her. I have seen them in the back of Nails/Nail Pro magazine.

Physically accommodating a new client From: [email protected] To: [email protected] I think sitting across from her, w/ no table between is the way to go. You'd end up playing kneesies, but what the hell? As long as you both chew some gum first it should be ok. Ok, so sit across from her w/ you table on the side so you can reach all the things you'll need. After she's prepped, put on the firs coat of shellac, hold the lamp up to her hand and cure. Repeat w/ each additional layer. Hopefully she's got a good sense of humor and you two can work it out as you go along. Good luck and let us know how it works!

She has unique physical needs that I have not encountered before. This lady was a "thalidomide baby" - she has little flippers with fingers on the ends, no arms or hands. She has heard about me from other ladies I've Shellac'd here:) I've thought about doing it standing (while she sits) and I want it to be as not awkward as possible. This is a time when I wish that 9 Watt lamps came in mini sizes because that would be ideal. I'm not sure what I'll do when it comes time to soak off. I will probably end up filing it off because I think cotton/foil or soakers would leak on her clothing. Suggestions? Thanks!!!
