If a client rushes the practitioner to use a nipper to remove acrylic nails, what should the practitioner do?

In situations where a client is anxious or rushing a practitioner to proceed with a nail service, particularly when it involves the removal of acrylic nails, the best course of action is to continue soaking the nails in acetone. Soaking is essential for effective and safe acrylic removal, as it helps to soften the acrylic material, making it easier to detach from the natural nail without causing damage.

Using a nipper immediately, as the client requests, can result in several complications, such as tearing the natural nail or causing pain and injury. Rushing the removal process can also lead to improper techniques that may compromise nail health. Therefore, it is crucial to adhere to the proper protocol of soaking in acetone, which is a standard practice for safely removing acrylic nails.

Stopping the service may leave the acrylic still attached, leading to an unsatisfactory situation for the client, while applying more primer would not address the issue at hand and would instead be inappropriate since primer is used in the application process rather than removal. Continuing to soak in acetone ensures that the practitioner can safely and effectively remove the acrylic nails without risking harm to the client’s natural nails.
