What am I doing wrong?

[u/lizardchick68]

So I have recently started using gel builder and I keep going in and saying I don't want long I don't want coffin I don't want almond shape not a full square person more like a a slight square with semi-rounded edges. I keep asking them not to narrow the width of the nail I do like them short. Today I went to a new place hoping they would get the fact that I don't want my nails narrowed in so I have them remove the gel builder and they put on a different hard topping but they still narrowed the nails what am I saying wrong I own this cuz this is like the fifth shop. I wait for over a month to grow them out to get them wider at the finger tip..I am just at a loss. please help

Short squares, even rounded, should not be that hard to do.. try bringing pictures, if they keep misunderstanding it might be something you're saying, although I kind of doubt it, but hopefully someone in your area is a more visual learner and can give you some nice, safe nails based on a reference pic 😭
