A NAIL technician has shared a list of her biggest pet peeves when she’s giving a manicure.
Jenessa Cluff, 23, invited viewers to “curl my hair with me” as she spoke out on the four things people do that bothers her.
“This first one is kind of obvious but I feel like it needs to be said,” she started. “I hate when clients are late. Let me preface that, I hate when clients are late every single freaking appointment.”
The blonde beauty went on to explain that she has a number of regulars that will, without fail, turn up to their scheduled nail appointment late.
Jenessa said that while it’s fine to come late every once in a while when life gets in the way or something unexpected happens, she’s not a fan of those who are constantly tardy.
Her second pet peeve is when people use their phones during the appointment.

“Try your hardest not to get on your phone. In the nicest way possible, it is so frustrating when clients are constantly texting throughout their appointment… And just getting c**p on their nails while I’m doing them.
“Again it’s totally fine to get on your phone every once in a while but when you’re on your phone the whole appointment it is very frustrating…
“Because I will have to wait for you to switch hands so that you can keep texting so that you can keep texting.
“That can get very frustrating and it can take up a lot of my time that I may or may not have.”

Her third pet peeve, which TikTok user @jenessacluff called “kind of funny”, is when a client takes around 20 minutes to choose a nail colour.
“And she’s deciding between two colours that are a shade different that you can barely tell the difference between,” she said. “Honestly, I die. Because it doesn’t matter.”
Going hand in hand with her phone frustrations, another pet peeve of hers is when a client gets “dust or hair in their nails”.
If it’s happening on every single nail because the client has been picking their phone up or fiddling with the towel, Jenessa gets very annoyed as she has to wipe them constantly – which could mean the nail doesn’t stick on as well as they should.
“This can cause lifting,” she warned.
Sharing a disclaimer at the end, she said: “I just want to say that if you do these things, I don’t hate you. It’s just when you do them every appointment, it can get very frustrating and can be really hair for your nail tech.
“But honestly, I have the best clients ever and I love them so much. So these don’t really matter.”
Nail technicians and manicure-lovers alike flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.
“The phone things should be common sense???” one person said, to which Jenessa replied: “right ??” [sic]
Another shared: “I always get there 20 mins early to soak and pick out my color,” which earned them the title of “dream client” from Jenessa.

While a fourth person said: “I hate when they show inspo and I have the exact color and they say “eh not that one” like what!?”
