text: How kind of Your Nail Gal Pam to respond to my review However she got a few things about me wrong that I would like to correct nnI am not a professional nail client I am a regular woman who gets monthly pedicures from an absolutely charming competent and polite technician She has never made faces at me cursed at me or indicated that I might break her equipment She also works in a small space however it is arranged so she and her clients are comfortable nnYes I once wrote a series of articles for Nails Magazine however only one was about working with obese clients I also wrote about hand treatments including plastic surgery massage clients with disabilities luxury pedicure options language barriers and did salon reviews When I was still able to work I wrote on a number of subjects including beauty automotive and more I enjoyed my research and learned a lot nnI never came to Pam with gels on my toes nor did I ever ask her to remove gels that she did not apply in the first place She had a policy in place about gels and removals and I respected that nnPam is certainly entitled to set up her salon space however she wishesit IS her business However the pedicure throne is in a fixed position and I fit on that so her claim of being a contortionist is strangennShe accused me of exceeding her chairs weight limit Hmmm I never mentioned my weight to her nor did I weigh myself in her salon Yes I am fat That is not easy to hide And yes bench style seating is awesome However I use pedicure thrones every month with no problem If she was so concerned about her equipment she could have asked me not to use it and suggested an alternative nnYes I waited to write this review I made notes after each visit hoping to figure out what I could do to unleash this super tech that so many were swooning about I dare say none of the beauty pros I work with now would consider me an undesirable client True my diabetes and severe arthritis might make me a challenge but with open dialogue and common courtesy on both sides of the chair issues are easily resolved nnIf Pam makes you happy and makes your nails gorgeous then good for you We all have choices But if your experiences were more like mine do not feel bad or embarrassed or think you did something wrong There are plenty of nail techs out there who welcome clients who are differently abled The tech I use now provides incredible relaxing massage that makes me drool Pam just made me sad and humiliated
