When I was first qualified as a nail technician, I was employed in a beauty salon. I once had a mother and two daughters who booked in. Nothing wrong during the service, one of the daughters wanted XL nails. She was only 16 and i warned her it might be too long especially for her short nails, it would be too drastic of a change. She insisted so I did them for her. All three were happy with their sets but they just completely ingored me when I talked to them to till to pay. They just walked out the door without paying. The kicker was the next morning they called the salon complaining the length was too long, they weren't happy with the set and wanted them soaked off. So my boss ended up forcing them to pay for both three sets and three soak off before I removed the nails.

Oh she knew exactly what she was doing. She clearly waited for the 10 days then wanted them for free. I think you handled it really well considering how new you were at the time.

I have been a Cosmetologist for 23 years. During my first year of being in my salon, I had a woman book a hair appointment with me, and it was for a perm and a trim on extremely long hair. When I had completed the service, she absolutely loved her hair and continued to tell me so, many times. She said “ Thank you so much”, stood up, and walked out of my salon without paying. I was shocked to see that someone would actually do something so rude. I went to the door and said mam several times, but she ignored me, got into her car, and drove away! As if that wasn’t wrong enough, she actually had the nerve to call a few months later to book another appointment!! I politely told her that I would never book another appointment for her, because she left without paying. She had nothing to say in return, so we both hung up the phone and that was the last I heard from her. I had a lot of people telling me this woman was telling everyone how much she loved her hair and what wonderful work I had done on her hair. I told everyone who told me she said this, that she should have loved it since she walked out without paying, this making her service free. She should absolutely love it!! That was the only time I ever experienced something like that, and I hope to never have that kind of experience again! You go girl, you did the correct thing as well! God Bless Always 🙏🏻

Cute design and I enjoyed the story time💗 that was such a terrible situation. I guess that's why nail techs now charge a deposit fee.

She would never leave my place without paying, let along with a brand new set of nails. There are so many people like her though. Trying to be the smartass, refusing to pay and get away with it. I have never encountered such a person myself, but the teacher I had during my basic education, taught us how to deal with such clients. So I was prepared for everything. She also taught us, how to spot the red flags, when we encounter with a toxic client for the first time. As I said, I haven't had a client refusing to pay. However, I've had one (she came to me for the first time) that said that she's forgotten to make a withdrawal from the bank. She told me to wait for her, as she had her ATM card, so she would go and do the withdrawal after the appointment. Of course I went with her, pretending that I was going out anyways, so she wouldn't have to come back. And so we did. I wouldn't know if she was going to come back, so I think I did the right thing. But I would NEVER allow a stranger, come into my workplace, have their nails done and leave without paying. I would never accept a client who is running late and of course I would never be rolled over for absurd demands. If the client wants to have her nails done by me, she has to respect my work, my time, my boundaries and of course me as a human.

I agree, you definitely did the right thing to tell her no further appointments 🤗😎🙏🏽

Sorry that happened to you. Any profession that deals with the public can get crazy at times. Im glad that you're still a great teacher/tech and your experiences can help others. LOVE THE PEACH by the way! I don't use acrylic but I got into polygel recently and you (among a few others) are my fav nail channels.

Shame on her!! That was just extra experience for you, so its only one good thing of it.

When you're almost finished and before you do the last application you should charge them

Right! Like after building but before designing. That's genius.

Love story time. Really love this set. Turned out so gorgeous.

I called this client a garbage one. Good you are so professional to deal with her. I appreciate the way you throw her. To lost garbage client better than keepping her for and having stress. Keep up the good work Anastasia.

The peach set looks amazing! I love the story time, but I don’t like that someone stole a service from you. Smh

It happened to me once and only once, by a regular, and i was doing this for maybe 9mos at the time. She calls me late, i cant remember the time but it was dark out and says i have somewhere to be, i need you, i need you, well the need didnt involve paying me. I clipped off her nail tips, down to the nubs and i took my e file and I made deep slashes into the gel on her nail beds, i gave her no part of my work to enjoy and then i left. Her husband was downstairs waiting so trust me she had no time for anything but showing off that mangled mess

They turned out gorgeous! Yes more story time please!

Beautiful color combinations 💕 You definitely were in the right with that client. Thank you for sharing 🥰🙏🏻

I think you handled the situation perfectly. You acted according to your character. I love the story time!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that, that client took complete advantage of you. I've never been in that kind of situation before but staying calm like that and level headed is definitely hard. And those nails look absolutely amazing, They're so adorable! You're an amazing nail tech✨

I enjoyed your nail art as well as your storytime! Thanx for Sharing Anastasia!! 🤩🥰

She sat there the whole time.. Knowing that she was going to not pay.. smh.. U r far to kind Sis❤️🙏🏾🦋
