What should be done if a nail extension breaks during the service?

When a nail extension breaks during a service, it is essential to replace the broken extension immediately. This action ensures that the client's nails are consistent in length and appearance, maintaining the overall aesthetic and integrity of the manicure. Replacing the broken extension allows the nail technician to provide a polished and professional look, reflecting the quality of the service.

Continuing with the remaining nails without addressing the break may result in an unfinished appearance and client dissatisfaction. Filing away the broken part can lead to unevenness and does not effectively solve the problem, as the structural integrity of the nail is compromised. Ignoring the break entirely undermines the professionalism of the service; clients expect attention to detail and thoroughness during their nail care. Therefore, promptly replacing the broken extension is the most appropriate response to maintain high standards in nail care.
