OMG those pictures are awful, upto now I have been lucky I havent had a client with NSS nail applied, tho I have had clients who have been to the NSS salons previously.
So my question would be am I better to soak off or infill,? I would imagine a soak off and applying new product would be very painful for the client. Sorry to hijack the thread hun ..xxx

I find opinion very divided on this...and even top educators and industry leaders have given differing viewpoints when this very subject has come up here in the past.

My personal opinion is you need to make a decision based on the nails themselves, but also take into account the factors mentioned above. I soaked off the very first time I ever came across NSS nails, and since have only ever de-bulked and infilled, I do wear a mask and I have extraction. I couldn't in all confidence put the majority of the nails I've seen through the trauma of a 2 hour soak off, which is what it took the first time.

That said I can totally appreciate people choosing the method that suits the state of their cleints nails and their own health risk factors.

The problem if you soak off , you dont know what the natural nails like underneath, and then if you start to apply product on top of damaged nails.. is it going to stay adhered.

I find these NSS nails a visious circle , its ok to d bulk and infill if you havent huge amounts of lifting, this is when I come unstuck ,trying to file through that gunk when your files so close to the natural nail aint good ,in my case if it were my own product Id soak to be safe ,but like I said before theres concequences to soaking off!!

I had a lady phone the other day with NSS nails, I educated her on the phone and told her to come back to me when she d grown them out.TBH Ive had a few NNS with severe lifting ,1 soaked her nails off ,shes having probs keeping her new nails on due to her natural nail being damaged, but she is determed to work with me..I love her shes great:hug:..Ive had others that just havent had the patience or time, so theyve just grown them out .HTH.
