+1 on Lynnette's suggestions. I don't keep problem clients. This isn't rocket science, and nails aren't made of steel, for crap's sake. We offer services to make you pretty for a couple of weeks at a time, it is what it is. The trade off for using gel polishes, or Shellac, is keeping your own nails. If you want something more durable, wear acrylic. On May 23, 2011 12:30 PM, "Lynnette Madden" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Rox! > Why not just get rid of her?
