Have you tried a professional manicurist? Maybe he would respond best to a male technician.
Since he accepted the podiatrist, call this “the nail doctor.” See if this service can be provided before opening, after closing, or in a private back room away from other clients.
Yes! I have same problem with my mother...& they get dirty under the nails if they get too long. So I get her to soak one hand at a time in soapy water bowl. Then I clean underneath because it loosens dirt..then I file or clip, depending on how she reacts. It seems she starts screaming before even I touch her. But you to be patient & say it’s a manicure. good luck! Also I take her to podiatrist who doesn’t let her impatient cry of , “Are you done yet?” stop him. I have caregiver come along to transfer. She don’t walk or stand
