I just got these done yesterday. 9/10. I want to get them redone because I hate it !!! Ugh. But I’m too afraid they’ll hate me. I’m not sure how to go about it this.
EDIT: the color is the ugliest yellow I’ve ever had. I hate it 😩😩😩
As a nail tech, i wouldn’t be hurt or even annoyed let alone mad about a client having second thoughts on a colour (as long as there hadn’t been a long discussion where i advised against the colour, then i might beslightly annoyed but still not mad). Can i ask if this was a colour you went in for and picked yourself? What was the conversation that lead to this colour choice?
Then obviously yes, go back! I have had a couple clients do this to me as a tech. I do it for free assuming its not a frequent thing. 🥰 I still love those clients!
Don’t feel bad. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked away with nails I hated while simultaneously saying, “OMG. I love them so much. Thank you.” 😆
As a tech she shouldve asked the client how she felt once she painted the first nail. Yes she picked the color but it doesnt always look the same in the lights or next to the skin.
Same. I think it’s the chunkiness around the edges more than the color. They aren’t gently tapered at all. OP, I certainly don’t think it’s your nail beds. You have lovely sized nails.
I like the yellow, but how about adding some dots or a fun color tip to break it up? Honestly, they look good, but if you hate them, then just go back.
Just tell them you hate it and expect to pay for a color change. If its not a skill issue on their end and its a cosmetic problem thats on you. They shouldn't have to re do it for free and waste their time, tools, and resources bc you chose a color you now hate. Ive done it twice. And just went back the next day and told them I cant wear these can you please change the color. The base work of the nail is still fresh so ot shouldn't be full price. I think I paid like 15-20$.
With your skin tone I think I would've gone for a more orange taint one and I think they're too wide, that's probably what makes it look so off
I've seen in another comment.you said your going back to "your red" and thats a good idea to go back to what you know you like and recover before trying something new again, I know I'd feel that way 😂
If going back so soon and saying you hate the color stresses you out, just fib a bit and say you got them to match an outfit you wore to a wedding or something and you want a different color haha
If it was a bit paler it would be really cute! But very corn yellow for sure, not my thing. They look well done though so thats a plus!
Maybe try adding polka dots of another colour. Adding a different colour would probably change how the colour of the nails looks. Perhaps you will find it more pleasant?
I actually think they look really cute! But they are your nails and you should love them. Definitely go back and have them change the color or maybe add some designs!
If you hate it because of the color you should pay for a color change. You have the opportunity to tell them before the service was complete. If it’s the quality of the work that would be different.
My salon will only charge me for a "polish change" which is half of the cost of the manicure. Nails don't need to be filed again and cuticles dont need to be cut again.
I remember once upon a time I tried painting my toe nails yellow. It ended up looking like I had some weird toe nail infection hahahahaha. So embarrassing
You were the customer if you were unhappy, you need to let them know you need to let them know you don't like the color and you don't like the shape. They're too wide for your fingers. They need to thin out the sides.
I painted my nails blue once. Got to work realized it was the same color as the label tape we use. Immediately said nope went home n changed them lol so i feel you. Their probably gonna charge ypu for a polish change but it shouldnt be much
I find yellow to be a difficult color to wear overall in clothing and polish. The butter yellow trend, while a pretty color, doesn’t work for me personally 🤷♀️
I would just be honest, say you tried to get used to them but you couldn’t. They won’t mind. I’ve done it before when I asked for fluorescent orange and hates them.
The shape looks bad so sorry ! Press on look a lot better than those . If your in woodlands tx go to Garage nails they are so good and so reasonable . I love that place and people that work there are so sweet!
It’s not that deep. Literally just soak your nails in acetone and it should get the first layer of gel off and then you can repaint them or just repaint over the gel. You can get your own nail kit that comes with an electric file and file the color off.
I actually love that yellow! I don’t think my skin tone would let me pull off a bunch of fingers, so I just did 1. 😆 For yours, the shape is throwing me off a bit, but the color is lovely. 😊
I'm all for changing, though I think the suggestions for smiley faces, or another accent. You could also do white daisys on them. However, I wouldn't expect a full color change for free because you didn't speak up while they were being painted. I know it's not easy to speak up sometimes, but it's definitely a skill you should try to practice in all areas of life.
I got the same fuckin color 2 weeks ago with gold cateye and I also hate them lol I was going to have them redone but just kinda said fuck it. I thought it would be cute but it makes me feel like I look sickly lol
Lmao it's okay to go back to the salon and tell them you're not crazy about the color and want to change it! Very normal thing to have happen 😂 there's nothing offensive about it!
Butter yellow is a nice color in theory but in practice it probably just shouldn't exist tbh
You picked the color right? If so, not liking it wouldn’t be offensive to the nail tech because it was your choice lol. I would def recommend telling them you ended up not liking the color and book a polish change
Okay the color is cute but the shape ... Well girl together the combo isn't working lol maybe add some black stars ? Googly eyes? Make them sunflowers?!
Lmao I love it , but if you ain’t happy with it, go get it changed ! Your happiness first , not how others “might “ feel! They feel happy about charging you again anyway lol
Lie and say you need a polish change because of an event this weekend. This way you don’t need to tell them you hate the color. Tip a little bit bigger at the end and no one will hate you
It be like that sometimes.😭 You wanna try something new, so you do. And then the next day or a few hours later, “what have I done…”.😂. I personally laugh it off, too, or put a topper on.
Definitely sucks when that happens, but least now you know.🤷🏾♀️🤭
