"Most, if not all, nail product manufacturers would always recommend you work with their products as a full system, as during the manufacturing of the products they are all calibrated and designed to work synergistically with each other."
"If you 'cherry-pick' from different brands, firstly, you cannot guarantee the wearability of the products as you may have compromised this from mixing another product not suited to the system you are using.
"Secondly, there could be a risk of causing chemical overexposure to you or your client. A chemical is only safe when used correctly.
"Thirdly, if you do cause a reaction, especially to a client, you would have no leg to stand on as you didn't carry out the service in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions.
"And last, but not least, you are inadvertently to some degree, conning your clients out of their money as they are paying for the service described to them, not to have products taken out and other ones put in their place."
"Cherry-picking is a risky strategy for most skins."
"Most product lines will have a complementary balance of ingredients, and it is less likely that the customer can over-do certain ingredients when combining cleansers, toners, moisturisers, treatment serums and exfoliants from the same range. An ingredient like salicylic acid, for example, is popular with many brands for treating various skin conditions, but different brands will have varying opinions on concentrations, formulations and the degree of layering appropriate. A customer may well be inadvertently using too much salicylic acid if they are combining, for argument sake, cleanser, toner, exfoliant and moisturiser from two or three different brands, resulting in over exfoliation.
"Effective brands should offer a good selection of products to ensure customer personal preferences can be met alongside specific skin care needs. If a brand is limiting for a skin therapist, then perhaps you need to reassess what you are offering your customers."
"I would say yes, it is ok for a therapist to mix and match products to get the best possible solution for the client, as long as there is a reason for it and sound product knowledge behind it."
"With the advent of high- performance cosmeceutical skin care, ingredient education has become more important than ever as we can now affect cell function and performance with the correct product choices.
"It is necessary to know that there are some ingredients that should not be mixed.
"Because we can't always be around to check our clients' impulse buys, it is very important to build up a level of trust so that she feels able to tell you what else she is using or would like to try and then you can advise her of any ingredient clashes.
"Personally, I think we would be failing in our duty of care as therapists if there is a product or ingredient available outside of the brands we are carrying that would benefit a client and we didn't recommend it."
