Long Island City Woman Alleges Her Nail Tech Flew off the Handle After She Asked Her to Make Her Nails Shorter, ‘She Grabbed My Hair’

A woman from Long Island City has taken to TikTok, claiming that she was assaulted by a nail technician at the nail salon she was at. She says things got heated at the salon after she asked the tech to make her nails shorter during the procedure.
TikTok influencer Grace Mitscherlich normally provides her followers with horror-based videos; however, she departed from her usual content to warn her viewers away from a local nail salon after she visited it and ended up leaving in tears. “I never want to be the person to like use their platform to like dox a business,” she says, “but this woman literally just like assaulted me in the nail salon.”
Grace then shares a screenshot from Google, which shows the Alice Nail Spa where she was physically assaulted. “Please don’t go to this place,” she warns her viewers before going on to give more details about the apparent assault.
According to Grace, Wendy, the nail tech, had just finished the nails when she asked her if she could make them “a little shorter.” This allegedly caused Wendy to begin berating Grace, who then asked for another tech to finish the job. Despite this, the nail tech apparently continued to berate her, and at one point she allegedly got physical. “She ran towards me and she grabbed my hair and she pulled me back,” an emotional Grace can be heard saying over a voice note.
Grace warns her viewers to stay away
Grace then claims that she ran out of the salon but was chased down the street by Wendy, who, she explains, was also the manager of the salon. She claims Wendy also tried to grab her again. Apparently, she ended up waiting in a burger store until police arrived, after which she says she filled out a harassment form.
Many viewers believed Grace’s story, offering comfort in the comments and criticizing the salon: “I mean they have 2.0 out of 5 stars on Google says alot,” wrote one commenter. However, not everyone believed what Grace claimed happened: “Now, we need to nail salons side of the story because it’s always two sides to 1 story.”
In a second video, she says that the police did not care about the assault and that she ultimately had to go back to pay, “even though the nails weren’t done and they look like garbage.” She says she’s planning to dispute the payment with her bank as she didn’t consent to the payment.
While she claims the manager showed the police the CCTV footage of her not paying, she’s uncertain whether the police saw the footage before that, when she claims she was attacked. However, she says the cops told her they couldn’t do anything as they did not witness the assault.
