What should be considered during a consultation before a nail service?

Considering the condition of the client's nails during a consultation before a nail service is crucial for several reasons. The health and integrity of the nails can significantly influence the services that can be safely performed. For instance, if the nails are brittle, damaged, or showing signs of fungal infections, certain treatments or products might need to be avoided to prevent further damage or complications.

Understanding the condition of the nails helps the technician provide tailored advice and recommendations, ensuring that the service meets the client's needs while also prioritizing their nail health. It can also guide the technician in selecting appropriate products and techniques to use during the service, enhancing the overall outcome and client satisfaction.

While past service preferences, choice of nail color, and the client's preferred nail shape are all relevant factors in the consultation, they take a backseat to the health of the client's nails, which ultimately dictates what services are advisable and beneficial. Prioritizing nail condition helps create a safe and effective treatment plan for every client.
