Dealing with clients who bite their nails can pose a unique challenge when applying acrylic nails, but Buchonas style nails offer a great solution. From my experience working with clients who have this habit, it’s essential to focus on preparation and durability. Before application, thoroughly clean and gently buff the nail surface to remove oils and debris, which helps the acrylic adhere better, especially on damaged nails caused by biting. Choosing the right acrylic formulation can make a big difference; flexible yet strong mixtures tend to provide better comfort and longevity. Since nail biters often have uneven nail beds, sculpting the acrylic to create a natural extension is key. I recommend starting with a slightly longer tip than usual to accommodate future nail growth and potential bumps from biting. Incorporating protective layers and top coats can also help shield the natural nail from further damage and discourage biting. Moreover, adding eye-catching designs or dazzling finishes can motivate clients to keep their nails intact for longer periods. For example, vibrant colors, glossy finishes, or glitter can make nails more appealing and less likely to be bitten. Lastly, educating clients about nail care routines and recommending products like cuticle oils and strengthening treatments enhances nail health between sessions. Over time, with patience and consistent care, clients may find themselves biting their nails less, while enjoying the beauty and confidence that Buchonas acrylic nails provide.
