DO NOT VISIT “VAIN BEAUTY” AT FAR EAST PLAZA #03-113!
Fucking swindlers!
On Tuesday evening, I went to Far East Plaza to infill my gel overlay and touch up my tip glitters at Milly’s, but the lady who does gel nails was not in (She is really good by the way, her name is Li Dan and their charges are reasonable). Left me a little disappointed because I was looking forward to having pretty nails after a bad day at work.
So… I walked around the mall and chanced upon this bloody VAIN BEAUTY 黑店. They say until they damn good, damn this damn that, got dragon got phoenix, 有龙有凤. Then say they will just charge me $40, WILL DO VERY NICE FOR ME and went on to criticise the existing gel overlay I had on my hands. Nehmind, I thought since not very expensive and it seems like they know what they are saying, just give it a shot. After all, just how bad can anyone screw up a set of nails? At most not nice can redo somewhere else. Right?
WRONG!
They still can say they charge me cheap so that I will go back to them in future. MY FOOT! Over my dead body!
CB ONE LOR. Let me list down the points ONE BY ONE.
1. They are fucking UNHYGIENIC, there’s near to ZERO hygiene in everything they do. The table was covered with like nail polish blobs, they DON’T EVEN HAVE A PROPER NAIL FILE. One of the bitches had to run upstairs to this shop selling manicure stuff to buy a bloody file!
2. And when she came back with the file, she went ON AND ON to complain about how expensive that nail file she bought was. $6.90 leh! With me sitting right there. Win.
3. I just wanted an infill and a touch up for my tips, they freaking BUFFED OFF nearly all my gel overlay. Every finger had a DIFFERENT AMOUNT of leftover of my existing overlay. NICE.
4. She was fucking buffing SO HARD AND FAST that my nail bed was BURNING HOT. I think my fingers were *THIS* close to catching fire.
5. As she was buffing with her heart and soul, the side/corner of the nail file kept rubbing against my cuticles. IT WAS SO PAINFUL. It felt like someone was trying to slice open my fingers. And when I whimpered in pain, she said, “then you should sit closer!”
HUH? SMLJ?! Where is the rationale?! When I moved forward and sat closer, she was STILL FUCKING BUFFING *INTO* MY FLESH.
The result? My 2 pinkies, 2 thumbs and 1 index finger HAVE CUTS ON THE CUTICLE BEDS. And when I say “CUT”, I mean REAL CUTS, FLESH SPLIT OPEN TYPE. Even when I wash my hands now, they freaking sting the shit out of me.
The entire time, the cursed bitch remained OBLIVIOUS to the fact that my flesh has been successfully SPLIT OPENED BY HER BLOODY NAIL BUFF. She did NOT even bother to wipe off the dust on my hands (from all that filing) and did NOT disinfect my hands with anything. NOTHING. She merely used a piece of dubious looking TOWEL which was already wet and stained with don’t know SMLJ SHIT TO WIPE MY HANDS WHICH WERE ALREADY INJURED BY HER.
6. Then she started laying gel onto my nails. WAH LAN EH, CHUI! SIBEH CHUI! It’s the worst of the worst I’ve ever seen in my entire life! She didn’t build the base properly, the procedure of how she did things were obviously all SALA, it’s not my first time having gel overlay done, I AM NOT STUPID!
All my ten fingernails ended up with different thickness, different shape, some shiny some matt, some dented in the centres, some bloated in the centres. All ten tips were supposed to be in black glitter, but NONE OF MY TEN FINGERS had a properly done up tip. NONE. Missed the corners, some got fuzz stucked on them (and then she blamed me for it, WTF!), right thumb had scratches UNDERNEATH the gel (I don’t know how the fuck she did that).
7. One more thing – the UV light machine, the tubes on the left side of the machine were spoilt, so only the right side and top had light. So to make sure the light can hit the nails, she freaking put a regular mirror into the tiny machine and told me to put my hand in, on top of the mirror.
The mirror was about one cm thick at least, guess what happened? Naturally because of the mirror’s thickness, my hand was raised and I immediately GOT BURNED by the top UV light tube.
WAH SMLJ SMLJ!!!
8. At the end of everything, I was literally on the verge of tears. I almost cried. My fingers were in pain and my nails looked WORSE than before I went to them!
I looked around the shop and saw this rack of nail polish which at 1st glance looks like OPI polish bottles, but NO! They are ALL NOT from OPI. The shape and caps of the bottles look almost exactly the same as OPI polish bottles, even the fonts of the text on the bottles are almost exactly the same as OPI’s, but they are NOT! All of them read “B.O” instead of the three letters “O.P.I”. Outrightly use imitations, WIN AGAIN. _|_
I didn’t make noise because I was alone and I didn’t dare to pick up a fight with them. Yes, I DIDN’T DARE TO – because I was surrounded by a shop full of PRCs who don’t look very honest to begin with. I was outnumbered, so after some contemplation, I decided to keep quiet. I don’t wanna be cornered and then get killed or something.
Before I sat down to do my nails, they were all damn nice to me. Once I started doing my nails, the treatment given to me was TOTALLY DIFFERENT and bordering on physical torture.
And once she was “done” (which totally was not done properly according to my standard, I was injured lah please!) she couldn’t wait to collect the money and get me out of the shop. WINNER.
After the incident, I asked around and heard that VAIN BEAUTY had cops going to their shop more than once – customers’ disputes over their substandard services and such. And apparently once they were even in the papers – their BOSS allegedly fought with the staff because the staff were accepting tips from customers.
Seriously man, birds of a feather. Boss and staff all crazy one. Yes, their Boss is a PRC too. Not discriminating against anyone, but the blatant facts (including personal FIRST HAND traumatising experience) cannot be missed or ignored.
By the way, Li Dan from Milly’s who made my nails fab everytime is a Chinese National too, but one look you can see she is the honest and hardworking type. See, I am not discriminating. Just stating obvious facts. I’m also not paid to praise Milly’s to the skies, it’s a fact that I received waaaaaaaaaaay better service over at Milly’s.
So I tahan-ed for 24 hours and went back to Milly’s (what to do) last evening to redo my nails ALL OVER AGAIN. Milly’s is good and the lady (Li Dan) doing gel nails is professional and knows what she is doing. I complained to her about the stupid VAIN BEAUTY 黑店 for nearly an hour, I think. Now my nails are pretty again! And Milly’s also charged me $40 for repairing the damage inflicted by those bitches from Vain beauty.
Vain Beauty, I didn’t agree to pay $40 to have my fingers SLICED OPEN.
Do my nails ugly I can close one eye and take it that I am just plain unlucky, but injuring me??!! That’s a different thing altogether! I should have just called the cops!
Once again ladies, AVOID GOING TO VAIN BEAUTY AT FAR EAST PLAZA, #03-113, AT ALL COSTS. Don’t even walk near the shop, they will sweet talk you in and then *bam*, disaster. Don’t risk it. Vain Beauty does hair extensions too, DON’T GO TO THEM. There are so many shops doing hair extensions in Far East Plaza and Singapore, DON’T HAVE TO GO TO THESE SWINDLERS.
There are so many bad comments about their hair extension services from forums like Cozycot and Flowerpod. Apparently, some girls got VO-ed (variable order) bigtime, from a said budget of say $100, they can diam diam add add add the hair strands and then ask the customers to pay $500 in the end. WTF.
BLACKLIST VAIN BEAUTY AT FAR EAST PLAZA, #03-113!
P/S: Girls please pass this message around to your girlfriends. I don’t wish to see other girls get injured and chopped like a carrot by these people with zero conscience.
