I went to get a mani and it took the nail tech THREE hours – what I left with was horrifying… people say it’s criminal
A YOUNG woman whose nails got botched at a rogue salon has revealed she was in there for THREE hours.
Alicia Allen was left with uneven, blotchy and unfiled talons – and people think her nails are so bad she should call the police.
Fuming Alicia found the salon online and was impressed by the “really f*****g good” designs on their social media.
But the 21-year-old quickly realised these images might be a facade for the 24 hour salon, which people have theorised is a front for something else.
When she arrived, Alicia noticed the salon name on Google didn’t match the name in person.
Inside, there was no receptionist, no front desk and nobody in the shop.
Eventually, a nail technician emerged from behind a curtain and started working on Alicia – who was the only customer in the shop.
She recalled: “I’m the only one at this salon – red flag number one.
“This is what I asked for.
“She’s like overlining it and I was like, ‘it’s supposed to be way more pink than that’.
“It’s supposed to look like a French nail and not like a circle left unpainted.”
Alicia shared an image of the acrylic nails she asked the technician to replicate.
The talons were long with crisp edges and an extended french manicure.
However, Alicia’s three hours in the hot seat – which she said “felt like forever” – didn’t materialise into the design.
What’s worse, the final result left her nails bendy – and she paid $150 for the pleasure.
Alicia took to Tik Tok to share the botched job and people were gobsmacked.
Some have compared them to teeth on her fingers, while others joked it looks like she has “dried toothpaste” on her fingers.
One penned: “I have a strong feeling you’re gonna wind up needing antibiotics.”
A second gasped: “I wasn’t expecting it to bend like that!”
People begged Alicia to say she hadn’t paid for her nails… but she had.
One viewer wrote: “How do they mess up that bad… Oh my God.”
