“What the Nail Tech Heard & Saw” — shocking true client stories that’ll make you blush, cringe & laugh!
Hey guys…..ever wonder what your wife, girlfriend, side-piece, baby momma, Auntie, Grandma & Mother talk about with other women in the salon?
As a 35 yr longtime nail tech, the things I’ve heard at the nail table over these many years are amazing, appalling & astounding. Countless times I’ve nearly fallen out of my chair upon hearing some of the most scandalous things coming out of a clients mouth, so I have no doubt the nail techs comments (below) are true when I posed the Facebook question “SPILL THE TEA: WHAT’S THE MOST SHOCKING THING A CLIENT HAS EVER SAID TO YOU?”
That post received hundreds of responses from nail techs all over the world!
In the past what most people would’ve paid extortion money to have kept secret, nowadays they freely divulge without ever being asked. People have become so comfortable “letting it all hang out” that few ever contemplate just because they COULD say it, does that mean they SHOULD say it?
For an easier read the nail techs responses are in their own words with several more chapters coming soon. Some have follow ups because out of sheer curiosity I just HAD to know the rest of the story.
NAILS magazine printed several in a 2022 article (with the participating nail techs granting approval to publish their names), but as a trade journal for the professional nail industry they could never, ever print the more outrageously vulgar things we nail techs hear & see on a regular basis.
Such discretion doesn’t extend to me though, so here they all are for your reading enjoyment!

Part 1:
“She was going to kill her husband & just exactly how she was going to do it.” — Pam K.
The rest of the story: “She was having an affair & owned a company with her husband, but didn’t want to split it, so she devised a plan to have him hit by a car. She had his routine, the cross streets that it would happen & the time he would be hit. This went on for a couple of visits. I was a new tech in the salon so I didn’t know what to do. Do you tell & it not be true so you lose a client, if you don’t say something someone might die? Well in the end I couldn’t keep it to myself, so I talked with the owner of the salon. But on the lady’s next visit she told me her husband walked in on her & her boyfriend. Apparently he was ok with her affair & they continued to stay married.”
“My client told me that she was gagged & tied up. I was trying to tell if it was consensual. It was.” — Skylar Y.
The rest of the story: “she was tied to a chair & gagged. Her boyfriend took pictures, the chair fell over & she looked dead. After the film developed, she realized it wasn’t sexy & they broke up shortly afterwards. The apartment staff found the pics left in the apartment & a detective showed up at her job because he thought she was MURDERED.”
“An elderly customer who I did for years was having a conversation about leaking. She stood up, pulled her pants down to show me the pad she was wearing. I was staring at an 86 year old vagina!” — Brenda G.
“See the lady getting her hair done behind me, I’m sleeping with her husband.” I almost fell over. — Melanie M.
“My 63 year old client was doing GILF porn. When she made the centerfold she brought it in & asked if I wanted it autographed. She’d tell me all about how much money she made in Miami doing granny porn! It really didn’t bother me much until I seen the road kill… the centerfold…. I wanted to cry with laughter but I had to suck that shit up.” — Gina E.
“When I first got out of nail school I had a client that wanted a pedicure with gel & an acrylic fill. (Granted I was new to the industry & I did the best that I could do). When I was finished she looked at me & said I need to quit my job & I did the worst job that she had ever seen. The client also called me a horrible nail tech. I cried right in front of her, then walked away.” — Delia C.
“I just came from having my twat pierced for the 11th time & I keep having orgasms, so I’m so sorry if I keep squirming around in the chair”. Needless to say I don’t think I could find my jaw on the floor that day!” — Tammy B.
“That they were having an affair with their female boss (ended in divorce)”. — Jennifer P.
“She is trying to kidnap someone & that she needs to borrow my car.” — N.L.E
The rest of the story: “it ended with me saying no. She had a guy friend who was sick & I guess she was the mistress. The wife didn’t go for that. She sent them a couch set for a present. The wife returned it & sat it in front of her drive way. She wanted to do the same….so the wife couldn’t drive out the driveway to kidnap her sick friend. The lady was a Coo Coo bird & worked for a doctor. I blocked her after that. Lol”
“A client said ‘I went into solitary confinement for 30 days so I wouldn’t have to cut off my stiletto nails!” — Julia P.
“Constantly wanting to discuss anal sex & all the benefits of it …. she was so weird.” — Stephanie T.
“Girrrl, after 31 years nothing shocks me anymore.. sex, affairs, pranks, fetishes. I was more shocked by a client asking me not to talk during her pedicure & then she proceeded to pass out! She was brought to the salon by an Uber driver, doing the walk of shame as she had just flown back from Vegas!” — Kimberly E.
The rest of the story: “I proceeded with the initial consultation & she told me her head hurt so I hurried thru it.. started pedicure & asked her to choose a color . She was busy on her phone & as I continued pedi she passed out.. cold… so with no reply or response I proceeded to polish her toes with a color resembling Pepto-Bismol pink!!! When I finished, I woke her for Uber pickup & she was utterly clueless… except for her toe color.. which she exclaimed was hideous & my reply was that she had not chosen a color before passing out & I thought the color was fitting …😂💯💯💯”
