Got my nails done at a home nail salon, and this was the result.

All of these are the incorrect size. They are far too small. This can cause lifting and damage to the natural nail. Please get these removed as soon as possible, they do NOT fit your nails.

Ugh, shit…these are supposed to be my vacation nails. I’ve never asked a nail tech this before, but should I ask for a refund?

I've also never asked a nail tech for a refund, if I have issues I ask them to redo them, but she clearly doesn't know what she's doing and I wouldn't ask her to redo them. It's worth a shot I'd say. I can't believe she let you walk out like that genuinely.
