to expect my manicurist NOT to be chewing gum when she does me?

Bleurgh.

Horrid.

YANBU pretty unprofessional to be chewing gum whilst with a client

Yes, manicurists are well known for being stuffed-shirts

Ya weirdo

Does it matter?

I'd rather my manicurist was minty fresh rather than breathing smelly breath in my face :D

Wouldn't bother me (unless done very loudly Vicky-Pollard-style with accompanying bubble blowing)

Better than dog breath

I don't like anyone chewing gum so YANBU

but OTOH a manicurist chewing gum is sort of Philadelphia Cheese Advert brilliant

maybe she had onion breath

Unprofessional.

That's the word I was looking for.

Chew, chew, smack, chew, chew, smack.

Bleurgh.

While she does you? What kind of manicurist is this, exactly?

Unprofessional, I agree.
But as long as they do their job, I don't care. Would rather that than smelly breath, that close.

I don't like to be done by anybody who doesn't give me their whole attention! Chewing gum is common. I refuse to be done by anybody common! even though I'm from Essex

Wellll - it's not great is it. Not great at all, but having been on the receiving end of cigarette stinking fingers and breath whilst having a facial, I know what I'd rather have, so long as manicurist wasn't blowing bubbles/chewing loudly it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Oh, yes, I asked fag-fingers to stop and I left.
