What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you during a treatment?

[gillian w]

Something that could have been very embarrasing if it had been on a client and not my close friend, was when i tried a thermol mask for the first time.They set like plaster of paris.
It said put over a thick layer of cream or oil and gauze i used a collagen gel and had no gauze . I said ''that'll be fine''.
When i tried to get it off her it wouldnt budge.It was stuck fast especially to the downy hairs on the sides of her face.She had to get it of herself in the end wiggling it bit by bit and getting quite panicky and claustrophobic. I know i shouldnt have but i couldnt help laughing it looked so funny.
lesson learned..... always follow instructions they are there for a reason

I was asked by my 'then' boss to pick up some bits for her whilst I was in the shop at lunch.
I asked for 'Odd Ends' pate and the girl had no idea what I wanted for my boss, so she fetched the deli manager. I asked again for 'Odd Ends' Pate and she started laughing....you mean 'Ardennes' don't you!?!:o

Personally, it was 25 yrs ago & I did not buy Pate then, so I wrote it down as I heard it...!

All these have had me (nearly) wetting myself with laughter! I was doing a clients nails once and was eating a mint as had just had lunch. As I was talking I tucked the mint up in my cheek so when I bent over my clients hands to file the nail a lovely long string of drool slowly dripped out and landed on her hand! Mortifying!!

Paul and I are totally cracked at this lot. In fact haven't laughed this much since I read the one on geeks and diy waxing.:green:
Wasn't my client but:lol:
Lisa was doing a back sack and crack and the guy was a new client so she asked if I would come into the cubicle and sit the other side of the curtain that divided of the kitchenette and she's got the soothing music going and is making the light chit chat that you do when I let go with a massive builders burp:o both of them nearly wet them selves laughing at me.

The girls and i were in reception when we suddenly heard this awful noise coming from the showers we ran in and one of our older regular customers was lent over making an awful noise trying to get his breath we thought he was having a heart attack.
While trying to help him and ring the ambulance we were also almost rowing about who was going to do the mouth to mouth and who would do compressions.As it was ,he fought us off and struggling to catch his breath said he was just choking.He had opened his mouth in the shower and the water had shot down his throat the wrong way.

Wetting myself.... You should be a comedian, not a Therapist!!:hug:

The worst thing to happen to me was when I was doing a pedicure. I was cutting my clients toenails with clippers and a toenail clipping flew up straight into my mouth, I just couldn't help but spit it out in front of client UUGGGHHH!!

In my ten years I have....

Waxed half an eyebrow off on a gypsy! She was telling me things and I lost concentration and used the wax strip again woops!

Turned my boyfriends eyebrows green - the shame as he dosnt let me live this down!

Had colds and had to keep wiping drip off my nose during facials trying to be discreet and hygenic all at the same time!!!

Had a clients husband come in regularly for massage and he was a hunk and a half, I turned into a gibbering, giddy, clumsey school girl....

Walked in on a couple of men who had come for a massage and they were completly naked! Luckily I am brave enough to just cover them up!

And also glued a clients eyes together with those silly little individual lashes! I had taped everything down but the client was such a fidgitor and constantly answering her phone etc that it must have come undone and the glue seeped through to her bottom lashes. Luckily she bacame a good friend and never sued dispite me having to pretty much cut her lashes off!

My staff have done the following.

One had a cold so decided, whilst taking payment off a client to take a vitamin C tablet that were under the reception desk, that another client had brought in for me to fix my cold. I was doing a set of nails at the time and she started foaming at the mouth. She soon realised they were efferescent haha she looked like she had rabies.

The same girl also did a spray tan after I had run water through the machine to clean it. I had left water in the machine and we had recently changed tans. When the client left I commented on her nice colour (she did have a lovely glow!!) Only to realise once she had left my therapist had sprayed her with the water from the machine! Luckily the client who we got to come back so we could re-do her saw the funny side of it!!!

I had client who worked in forensics with the police in for a brazillian, anyway had her turn on her left side facing away from me with her right leg crosssed in front of her( so bum in my direction) i then i asked her to hold her right bum cheek so i could easily do the bits i needed to,... as she lifted her cheek i hered a muffled psssst..... (small but definately deadly)

I tried to remain professional as you do so carried on briefly glimmsing over my shoulder only to see her mortified face staring at me for a moment, she then layed back down and calmly said can you bottle that sample an i will it take back to the lab for analysis!!!!!!

weeeeeell i nearly peed myself laughing, me in tears and nose running and her with legs acimbo bottom burping the air was ripe as you can imagine, it was the funniest treatment i had ever done, we fell out of the room soaked with sweat and tears.

Yesterday I did a mud body and hair mask on an elderly lady which went really well.
I escorted the client to the shower (the 2nd time I have used it since I've been there since Nov).
she seemed happy with the temperature so I walked into the other treatment room to dispose of the plastic sheeting.
I was only gone 30 seconds, when I returned I heard

"help! hellllppppppp!!!!!"

I dashed in and the woman was beating at the shower door, I opened it and she said that the water wasn't going down and it was starting to flood.

I calmly switched the water off, talking to her all the time, and assisted the water down the plughole.

Then I gently rinsed her off and rinsed her hair for her.
I then gently wrapped her up in a towel and then towel dried her hair.

I then gave her a dry robe to put on and helped her onto the massage couch.

all this time I'm thinking **** **** **** **** **** **** ****!!!

She said she had panicked and felt disorientated as she didn't have her specs.

O.M.G.!!!

How would you have handled this situation???? I am blushing writing this!

 

[tinkywinky]

Well, had many - the worst was when I used to use a dodgy spray tan machine when I first started tanning. I somehow hadn't screwed the top on that connects the solution to the machine that sprays. Well all of a sudden, during spraying, the whole thing pops off and about 100ml of solution was splattered all over my kitchen, up the door everything.! My poor client's stood in her cosy whilst I had to mop up.

It was THE most embarassing moment of my career, so far!

 

[tinkywinky]

Think you handled the mad shower situation perfectly well hippy! xxx

PMSL That is SO Funny! Once had a client who pooped during a treatment, she was a bit tiddly I think, I didn't know where to put my face so carried on regardless!

 

[tinkywinky]

Oh I have remembered another embarassing one.

I was talking to my client during an eyebrow wax and she was sort of looking at me, then I was chatting, a piece of spittle from my mouth jumped down and landed on her cheek.

I was SO embarassed and wiped it off with cleanser. THE poor girl!

 

[tinkywinky]

Hope no clients are reading this, they will be put off us for life!

hahahahaha thats so funny!

It does make you want to bottom burp though when you get waxed like that! Think its a lot to do with the fear of doing it and parting of the bottom!

I havnt to my knowledge had anyone do this on me, but I know clients say they want to.

Cheered up my sunday morning though!

The funniest thing happened to a collegue of mine, she had a lady in for a body treatment that you needed to wear paper knickers for,

so she asked the client to get changed into the paper knickers and lie onto the couch with the towelover her. When my collegue walked back into the room the client was lying on the couch with the paper knickers over her head like a shower cap!! With the leg holes over her ears!
Due to this women being quite well to do my collegue just left her like that for the whole treatment rather than tell her she had paper knickers on her head!
The client even commented on how good it was to be given a shower cap, so that when she was the body mask off 1/2 way through the treatment her hair wouldn't get wet!!

I have never laughed so much!

The lady I did my brazilian training through told me a corker of a story. They had a man in who the group was practicing on. When it got to his bum crack, the trainer had to leave the room to get something and when she came back she couldn't work out why everyone was .

So the girls are doing the waxing and the trainer ends up walking around to the bottom of the bed where she'd been near his head explaining things to the group. As she gets around the bottom of the bed and looks at his crack - he has some poo stuck there.
