🚩 NAIL HORROR STORY: Bride-to-be Edition 👰🏻‍♀️🚫

I am literally 3 days away from my wedding (21/03) and I just had the worst nail experience of my life. 😭 If you’re looking for professionalism, the nail salon I went is NOT it.

The Tea ☕️:

• Reached early (as I always do), but the moment the tech saw my short nails, the "kbkp" started. She was super condescending about me needing extensions, which I already knew!

• The Gaslighting: She kept lecturing me while filing, claiming she was just "reminding" me. When I finally matched her energy and said I’d go elsewhere, she flipped it on me, calling me hot-tempered. Professionalism? ZERO. 🤡

• The Rebound Fail: Panicked and found a random salon on Sody. Absolute nightmare. Communication breakdown + the tech squeezed glue directly onto my nail and ripped an extension off because it "wasn't dry." The pain was 10/10. 💀

• The Result: A 2/10 rush job that took an extra hour, making me late for my interview.

My removal is going to hurt so bad because of that glue... please learn from my trauma!

📍 Solid North-East Home-Based Recs

pls recommend me some highly-rated, professional home-based techs in the NE who actually know how to handle short nails/extensions!

I engaged a home-based nail artist K in Sengkang for my wedding nails, and it was a huge mistake. I regret trusting her with something so important. ☹️❌ The results were absolutely terrible compared to the design I showed her. I took photos immediately after the session, and you can clearly see

this is the cheapest nail salon in the northeast 💅🏻
The best nail deal I’ve found in Punggol… and maybe all of SG? 👀💅🏻 👉🏻 I tried @Le Nail Room , a cosy home-based salon run by a super experienced nail tech, and I’m honestly still shook at the value. It’s only $25 for unlimited nail designs (!!) or $50 for extensions with unlimited designs. The
