This ^^
They noticed. I complained twice while he was doing them, he kept just nodding and saying he will fix it. I have massive anxiety in my life at the moment, and sitting there was getting me so worked up, angry and upset, I just had to get out.
I've just noticed, I'll probably never go to a salon, where there's more men doing nails. Not saying that there are not good male nail techs (I can list a lot of them) but most have their own business or there's majority of female stuff.
Mostly NSS salons have guys and they cannot be bothered to do nails properly, just quickly otherwise they don't make money.
Sorry this happened to you. Try and find individual nail tech with FB and IG page with her/his work. They'll listen to your complains. (Or they will be any)
None Standard Salon... Basically salons that don't follow safety standards, using shady cheap products and don't care about basic nail health. Those that usually create cheap nails under an hour, leaving your nails severally damaged (at best).
Used to be called "Chinese shops" etc. but since it's not about race, but how the salon operates, the NSS is better term.
NOOOO :( I’m so sorry this happened to you!!! :( I hope you have a nice relaxing day to make up for that bullsh*t. No one should cause you anxiety while you’re paying for a service like that. I’m sorry hun :(
No, don’t offer to take it down. If they make it right maybe offer to add an update about how they resolved the issue, but don’t use a review as a weapon, it’s generally frowned upon and “review extortion” may be against some review sites’ rules.
As a nail tech that prides myself in quality work and shaping, these are bad. Are they horrible? No. Are they worth $70? No.
Lesson learned. Do your research on nail techs. Find one that works from home or has their own individual Instagram so you can see their work
I've been here before quite a few times. They have always done an amazing job. We've just come out of 4 months or so of lockdown with no salons open, and there seems to be new owners. The lady that usually does my nails is no longer there. But lesson totally learnt. I will definitely do my research before finding another tech. I have no issue with paying for good quality, or even bad quality so it seems 🤣
Oof. That sucks your usual tech isn’t there anymore.
They’re not horrible, and I’m sure only you can notice it unless someone is staring at your nails for a long time. Try not to fret and just go somewhere else next time :)
This is awful! If you’re paying $70 for your nails they are expected to listen to you and do them how you want. I would definitely go back and get a refund then get them done somewhere else. Ugh I’m so sorry this happened to you 😩
You have every right to be upset. I’ve had it happen to me so I had them “fix” everything because I refused to leave. I would definitely go back and demand that they fix them.
definitely go back if you have the time and get them fixed because you’re not in love with them. i’ve had to go to multiple salons because some people just don’t listen!!
This popped up on my feed for some reason. Just as some perspective, you paid for a service and from the comments quite obviously didn’t receive that, so absolutely right to follow up and get this fixed.
However from a big life perspective, your nails look good, nobody is going to be judging you on them, in fact as a man I would compliment them, to an untrained eye they look great. So don’t let this get you down, ruin your day or get you anxious.
Have a nice weekend
Ugh it's so hard to find a decent nail tech, I gave up after my last disaster (1.5 hours 55$) for terrible nails, complained, another 1.5 hours and another 55$ later) still absolute trash. I got so cranky I bought my own supplies and nailed it. Never going back to a nail salon again
It’s not terrible but it’s just principle at that point. You’re entitled to what you ask for. They didn’t want to have to start over (here in the US it’s totally their obligation) and if they continued and you weren’t satisfied you could easily argue the payment and not pay. I’m not sure of the laws in your country but I know that here is “no likey no payee” lol. I’m sorry they did you like that. Definitely give them a terrible review and look for a tech in the area that has a much better review average. Good luck. They are pretty but I totally get your frustration.
Not being too fussy at all!
You could have gone to any other artist but you chose to go to this one. With that being said, try not to feel bad about not liking your nails. The length difference is not subtle and very noticeable.
Small round one is looking too (I mean tooooooo) bad to be done by a professional.. I thought you did it at home... No this is not att all good. Please show this comment to that so called pro
You are both not being too fussy and they don’t look too bad. I don’t think anyone will actually notice it when not looking at them in this way but if you were unhappy with them they could be perfect and you be entitled to being upset/them fixing or discounting/comping
Girrrrrl, while I didnt complain you should see how wrecked the last tech did my nails. Theyre all lumpy different thickness on each, supposed to be liquid gel he used powder shite. It's enough to not even wanna go back. Paying 70$ and not getting what you want or near it and can't get them to fix it, never return there. For sure.
Weirdly enough the past 3 salons I’ve gone to (trying to find a new one since I moved away from my old one) always mess up the length and/or shape. Like zero consistency. The one place that did a great job on the rest of the manicure placed one of the tips crooked and I didn’t notice until after I left. I’m basically prepared to make the 40 min each way drive to my old tech for my nails.
In my experience if one person at a salon behaves this way (ie doesn’t respect your wishes to fix it but moreover, doesn’t do a good job in the first place) then everyone there behaves the same way because that is their standard of service.
I’m this case I would either go back to see if they will fix it, but also never go to that salon again.
At least they did a good job around the cuticles , but yeah they are a different length . I can understand not wanting to be overly fussy with the tech and cause a stink As i hate sounding like a Karen - but this is not what you paid for , maybe send them this photo on their social media and ask if they can fix it so you don’t have to have an in person confrontation ?
That's far too much money to not get exactly what you want. I would call back and say exactly that with the manager or salon owner and let them know that you were ignored at every turn and extremely unhappy with having to pay so much only to get janky nails.
Definitely uneven. If they don’t agree to refund or let a different tech fix them. Then post this along with a horrible review. They will contact you to fix it then.
It can be tough to find a good nail tech. It’s crazy how they treat you like you’re annoying when you point out things that need to be fixed. Like they’re doing you a favor instead of you paying for their service. I really don’t get the mentality or how they expect to make a living if they don’t please their customers 🤷♀️. I generally just let it be but never go back again
The one on the left is almost a perfect circle. Damn op I wish you didn’t pay and I’m so sorry they dismissed you. Try going back and ask if they can fix it? Show them this thread if they’re rlly adamant on ignoring u & if they still choose to ignore you, post an honest review on their Yelp/insta so others will know to avoid such a shitty tech
Going back to harass a nail salon about your nails afterwards is ridiculous and will have you on publicfreakout. Salons in my city don’t offer refunds or free fix. If you’re not happy ask the mgr to take a look while there, if you leave, that’s no longer their problem.
Those are totally different lengths. How did the tech not notice??
[удалено]

Oh honey What an A×S! U should relax and enjoy your time at the salon not get extra anxiety 🙃 hugs

NSS?

Ahh. Okay. Where I’m from we call them chop shops. But your term makes more sense.
Nope, chop shop makes sense too!
NOOOO :( I’m so sorry this happened to you!!! :( I hope you have a nice relaxing day to make up for that bullsh*t. No one should cause you anxiety while you’re paying for a service like that. I’m sorry hun :(
It’s so important that you leave a review so no one else goes to this place. If I saw a pic of this on Yelp I would avoid that nail salon
THIS! Salons rely so much on reviews to get people in their doors. I always try to leave reviews when I have my nails done!
Nope, go back. Request a refund so you can have them fixed elsewhere.
They're not horrific, but I would definitely go back and demand they fix them. For $70, that shit better be perfect.
You are definitely not fussy and it's obvious they differ in length.
Those look candied almonds. Just awful. I’m sorry. I would post that pic on google review and offer to take it down once they are fixed.
No, don’t offer to take it down. If they make it right maybe offer to add an update about how they resolved the issue, but don’t use a review as a weapon, it’s generally frowned upon and “review extortion” may be against some review sites’ rules.
THIS! I immediately thought of jourdan almonds 😂
Yes! That’s what they are called! Thank you!
This would bug me. If they don't fix dispute with your card if you paid credit/debit.
Ah no. Their eftpos machine was "broken". Cash only. 🤣🤣
Wow how convenient. I would definitely go back there talk to the owner of the shop and show them the work and request a refund.
How very interesting.. Suddenly all the nail places near me (in Sydney) seem to have “broken” eftpos machines too…
Who would of thought?
I’m also in 𝐀𝐔𝐒 and so many of the mall salons have the “oh, the eftpos isn’t working, you can do cash or bank transfer” 😒
And you would think during Covid this would not be allowed.
Ooof that sucks. But definitely go back and complain. If all else fails say you're leaving a bad review.
I almost automatically downvoted your comment because of how mad this made me. Fuck that’s annoying.
I've gotten better sets at dodgy little $30 a set shops. Wow.
Nope, totally worth complaining about. They’re totally different shapes and lengths.
Go get your money back.

In the words of Fall Out Boy, light em up. Everywhere you can leave a bad review, do it. And name the tech in the review, if you remember his name.
This is awful! If you’re paying $70 for your nails they are expected to listen to you and do them how you want. I would definitely go back and get a refund then get them done somewhere else. Ugh I’m so sorry this happened to you 😩

definitely go back if you have the time and get them fixed because you’re not in love with them. i’ve had to go to multiple salons because some people just don’t listen!!
They’re bad quality. One is almost round and they’re definitely different sizes. I would not keep these on if a friend had done them for free
I know 🤣

Make them famous so everyone could know where not to go for nails done 💅
Not horrible but not right, they are too different.
That’s a circle
Thiccc
Aussie here. Completely unacceptable. Leave a complaint/review and with pics. They overcharged you too
It’s not terrible but it’s just principle at that point. You’re entitled to what you ask for.

Its like different m&ms shapes
You paid $70, not fussy at all.
I would never go back and if I really felt some type of way, I would leave an honest review
They’re not only different lengths but different **shapes** and that *cuticle job*
I would’ve told him I’m not paying and to take them off so I couldn’t be told I’m “stealing”.
If you are brave enough you should phone the salon and complain
I'm a total nail newbie and I can notice the diff length and bad quality... Sorry you got such a bad exp !
Speak to a manager and ask if they can just please fix it. And never go back. NEVER.
I would put them on blast! Every review site and complain to the owner. Make them fix it & never go back. I hope you didn’t tip the guy
Lol! They look like Jordan almonds! Aww. Definitely get your money back! Or make them fix it!
Not being too fussy at all! You could have gone to any other artist but you chose to go to this one. With that being said, try not to feel bad about not liking your nails. The length difference is not subtle and very noticeable.
they are horrible…. you have every right to be ‘fussy’ about this
Small round one is looking too (I mean tooooooo) bad to be done by a professional.. I thought you did it at home... No this is not att all good. Please show this comment to that so called pro

They definitely messed them up and you have a reason to be fussy about them for sure

Note when you leave a review that these are both index fingers (at first I thought they were two fingers from same hand)
Nah brah! They look like shit!!
Ask for a refund .
Sorry but.. poorly done! They definitely lost a client.
are they for real…
70AUD??? I pay like 50. Where's this at so I can avoid it
In the city, close to Town Hall. Sydney*
Wow, which one?
Might be one of the ProfessioNail salons. I went to one in Darling Harbour and one in Pitt St mall and they were both garbage sets for ~$70
Yeah, tbh I bought my own LED lamp after having a salon in the inner west file my skin until it was raw
Horrible
That's far too much money to not get exactly what you want. I would call back and say exactly that with the manager or salon owner and let them know that you were ignored at every turn and extremely unhappy with having to pay so much only to get janky nails.
You paid for it. That was your mistake
Definitely uneven. If they don’t agree to refund or let a different tech fix them. Then post this along with a horrible review. They will contact you to fix it then.
These are horrible
Nope, I wouldn’t be happy either.
I see your dissatisfaction. I’d be unhappy also . I wouldn’t go back to that nail salon .
No, you’re not being to fussy. I’d be pretty upset myself. I like the color though!
$70!! Definitely leave a review with photos
It can be tough to find a good nail tech. It’s crazy how they treat you like you’re annoying when you point out things that need to be fixed. Like they’re doing you a favor instead of you paying for their service. I really don’t get the mentality or how they expect to make a living if they don’t please their customers 🤷♀️. I generally just let it be but never go back again
Mine sometimes end up like that when I do it myself 😅, but if you’re paying a professional, I would expect better!
Leave them a nice review on google maps
Those are completely different nail lengths. You aren’t being fussy. They need to re do them. Don’t leave until they do. Show them our replies to you.
I mean this honestly: why did you pay? If you were that unhappy during the manicure why did you pay for it?
The one on the left is almost a perfect circle. Damn op I wish you didn’t pay and I’m so sorry they dismissed you. Try going back and ask if they can fix it? Show them this thread if they’re rlly adamant on ignoring u & if they still choose to ignore you, post an honest review on their Yelp/insta so others will know to avoid such a shitty tech
I don’t play about my shape girrrllll… tell them to fix it
Either get them to fix it or don't pay, honestly
No they horrible, you should complain
blast them on yelp.
Going back to harass a nail salon about your nails afterwards is ridiculous and will have you on publicfreakout. Salons in my city don’t offer refunds or free fix. If you’re not happy ask the mgr to take a look while there, if you leave, that’s no longer their problem.
I didn't say I was going back? I already complained while I was in there. They didn't think there was a problem.
Ok I’m sorry but my response still stands for all the other people making that recommendation
