No. I have client cards that I use for record keeping. They let me track things like "Lisa H always seems to break the same nail" or gee, a lot of my clients are having problems with the after wax cream, things like that. The problem with waivers is that they imply that something will go wrong,

What I do for them is a resin dip in sparkly acrylic powder with either clear or french tips. You could do wrap , too, for that but you probably have the goodies for resin dips already. I call them Party Nails and do them pretty quickly. Nicole Sent on the TELUS Mobility network with BlackBerr
