nail salon issues ugh

today i let my emotions get the best of me, and i just need to rant, and vent or get opinions on if you would have felt the same way, but definitely mostly vent about the situation, nothing like this ever happened to me and i had no idea how to react.

growing up, i always felt very ugly because i could not grow my hair, or nails due to a disorder , and i have spent years getting better, bettering myself, trying all types of hair and nail oils, gummies, you name it.

i finally have very long, healthy nails and hair. after years, and i pride myself in that so much and take great care of them. now, my nail tech is moving away, so i decided to try a new place. i booked my appointment for powder dip on NATURAL nails, and even told them i currently have powder dip on my natural nail as well. i get there, they seat me and im looking at dip colors, an older gentleman sits down and im still looking at colors, he grabs my hand and says “ you have long nails “ and i laughed and said “ haha yeah “ and i go to look up, and before i could even react, he cuts off my pointer finger nail. i moved my hand SO quickly and yelled “ what are you doing! you just cut off my nail “ and i do feel bad for yelling but i was genuinely in shock, i gave NO indiction i wanted my nails cut or even picked a color yet - nothing! i didnt even show what i wanted yet. by this time, two younger girl employees came over to see what was happening, and the older gentleman goes “ no acrylic “ and i am in TEARS by this point, and i said “ no thats MY nails my REAL nails you just cut off “ and the lady starts looking and says “ im sorry “ and the man walks away, im moved to the another lady and she apologizes also and talks to me, she ended up putting a acrylic tip on the nail the man cut - they do not look terrible but you can definitely tell its not the same as the others. the man never came back to apologize or even speak to me again - and i did hear him tell another employee “ its just nails “ which is true, and i feel bad for yelling at first, i was just shocked it happened so quick and i did cry, my emotions definitely got the best of me. i just ended up paying, tipping the lady who did my nails and helped try to fix it and left. i am still so upset over the situation though.
