Because salons are full of flammable chemicals, smoking on the premises should be strictly forbidden. Use professional products. All trustworthy products come with directions, and these should be read and heeded. Besides learning how to handle chemicals, manicurists must also cope with the routine stresses of their job. For most nail technicians, one of the greatest perks of the job is the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people, but occasionally this becomes a liability, Serquinia says.
Customers are often difficult to please, causing undue stress for employees.
She has even seen customers bully new technicians into providing additional services at no extra cost. Serquinia advises unseasoned manicurists to maintain good relationships with their bosses and co-workers so that they can consult with them about problem customers, if necessary. Serquinia adds that loquacious customers tend to be more problematic than rude ones. That's not really your role. Doing nails is like being a bartender or a hairdresser.
