Australian Nail Tech’s Video Shows Client Refusing to Pay Balance After 50% Deposit

The viral clip is fueling debate over salon deposit rules, pricing, exchange rates, removal fees.

Overview

  • The exchange took place at Glaze Nail Studio in Australia during a recorded appointment the technician later posted online.
  • The service was priced at $100 AUD for a detailed set, with a policy requiring a 50% deposit to secure the booking and the remainder on completion.
  • The returning client claimed she believed the $50 deposit was the full price and then said the nails were “not that good.”
  • The technician declined to accept the deposit as full payment and warned she would remove the nails if the balance was not paid.
  • Coverage on October 24 highlighted viewer comments comparing costs, noting exchange-rate confusion and debating removal charges, with no resolution reported.
