Breaking up is hard to do, especially when it involves your nail tech. But fear not, my friend, for we have compiled a list of 10 tips to help you navigate this delicate situation with grace and style. So grab a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) and let's dive in!
1. Be Honest, but Kind
Just like ripping off a band-aid, it's best to be upfront about your decision. Let your nail tech know that you appreciate their work, but you're ready to try press on nails from Nail Money! Remember, honesty is the best policy!
2. Don't Ghost
It may be tempting to simply stop making appointments, but that's just plain rude. Show some respect and give your nail tech the courtesy of a heads up. They'll appreciate it more than you know.
3. Plan Ahead
Before you break the news, make sure you have a plan in place. Order your new press on nails so you're not left high and dry (or without a fresh set!)
4. It's Not You, It's Me
Remember, this breakup is about your needs and preferences, not a reflection of your nail tech's skills. Be sure to emphasize that it's a personal decision and not a critique of their work.
5. Offer Feedback (if you want to)
Constructive feedback can be helpful for their future clients, just keep it honest and kind.
6. Keep it Professional
As tempting as it may be to spill all the tea, keep the breakup professional. Avoid drama or gossip, and focus on the positive aspects of your time together.
7. Be Prepared for a Reaction
Your nail tech may be surprised or even a little hurt by your decision. Be prepared for a range of emotions, and respond with empathy and understanding.
8. Take a Break (if needed)
Acrylic and gel nails can be extremely damaging to your natural nail. Give your nails some time to breath and heal before diving into the world of press ons.
9. Stay Gracious
Even after you've made the switch, continue to be gracious and respectful towards your former nail tech. Who knows, you may cross paths again in the future!
10. Treat Yourself
After all is said and done, don't forget to treat yourself to a fabulous new set of press on nails. You deserve it, darling!
