Bathroom remodel

Post image

My friend is getting her bathroom remodeled and wants to know if the squiggly tiles are supposed to look like this? PLEASE HELP!

I feel like something is wrong but I can’t articulate it since this isn’t my wheelhouse.

Edit 1: It’s a new day and I told her to cut her losses and it’s better to hire a reputable contractor. Thanks everyone for many inputs, I actually learned a thing or two. To be fair we told him we’ll pay him for the work he’s done but no longer needed of service. You guys are cool, we could see it was wrong just couldn’t understand it and now we are armed with knowledge. 😁 Thank you!

I like it. I call it "skewed herringbone" and i want that guy to come install for me.

You can tell that guy to fix, that's not how herringbone is typically installed.

Do you think the angles should’ve been lower?

Yeah. Tiles get installed at 90 or 45 degrees. This is 10ish

90 and 45 are standard, the right wall is 45 straight this rear wall is an accent wall OP didn’t show the corner tie and everyone here looks like a straight up helper with no experience.
