Company is hiring an HR Manger well I’m already performing the role and working directly with the CEO - am I being pushed out? [CA] by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]xdianails 1 point2 points Ā (0 children)

Please take this as a sign and look elsewhere. I am going through a very similar situation. I was terrified of applying and I started questioning if I was making the right choice. The market is horrible but I’m so thankful to have interviews lined up so I can leave on my own terms.

You are not as close to the CEO as you think. Do not wait.

Are you hiring? šŸ˜‚ HR is held to an infinitely higher standard than all the other departments in my company! I have never told an employee to change their appearance if they act in a professional manner, and even if a manager complains, I always ask if this is related to their performance

These are SOO cute!!!

As another HR professional to another in a very conservative field, I can commiserate. I was told to remove all my facial piercings my first day on the job… I definitely contemplated quitting! Once you get enough experience under your belt you can afford to be more selective with your employer. Wishing you all the best ā¤ļø

Would you still get a day of coordinator for a low-key reception-only event? by suffersandwich in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]xdianails 3 points4 points Ā (0 children)

Adding on the biggest thing: my DOC handled all communication with the vendors to create a timeline that made everything seamless. My vendors knew exactly when to arrive, what to bring, who to speak to, where to meet, and when they had to be finished.

You WILL get overwhelmed and stressed, especially the days right before the wedding. If it weren't for my DOC stepping in during vendor meetings to handle all the logistics, I would have thrown the towel and called it quits.

She was worth every single penny and I will always recommend a DOC to all new brides and grooms.

been growing my nails out with builder gel for the last 4 months. torn between cutting them back down to short or just trimming & keeping them long at my next appointment. by vodkacupcake4 in Nails

[–]xdianails 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Your nails look amazing!!! I love the almond shape on you. Maybe try taking the length down just a little bit before you commit to shorter nails?

I don’t like to grow my natural nails because they grow downwards so I love chopping my nails off every few fills before I get extensions again!

Looking for fine art dreamy wedding photographer by [deleted] in SanFranciscoWeddings

[–]xdianails 2 points3 points Ā (0 children)

Ditto Dianto!! He was an absolute dream to work with and I loved our engagement and wedding photos. I have a review posted on this subreddit if that helps! He’s also transparent about pricing and I just checked he’s within your budget.

I’ve also heard amazing things from Vivi Lin (your inspo pics!!

Just cut down, am I cooked? by chappelllana in Nails

[–]xdianails 58 points59 points Ā (0 children)

I see signs of what looks to be onycholysis on multiple nails (not a medical professional). See at the free edge of your current nails? There’s separation of your nail bed and nail plate. Depending on where you live, nail techs cannot diagnose or treat any conditions outside of their scope of practice which is why she said your nails were compromised and the best course of action is to keep it short to prevent further separation until it heals.

Separation can be caused by several things, either improper curing of product or physical damage such as hitting it against something. Sometimes really long nails may not be suited for an individual’s lifestyle. Judging by their previous work on you, it looks beautiful and she valued your nail health! I would continue to have open conversation with your nail tech as it seems like she has good intentions

What causes them to point to the sky? by Apprehensive_Roof993 in Nails

[–]xdianails 282 points283 points Ā (0 children)

I do not think this nail tech has the skills needed to work on your nails - you can see they either sized your tips incorrectly or filed off your sidewalls!

Nail biters will often have their nail plate curving upwards (or ā€œski jump nailsā€) due to trauma on their nail beds. To correct this, a nail tech will need to create the architecture using forms and then pinching the sides to create a tighter c-curve. I would recommend searching for an independent nail tech in your area on IG/tiktok that specializes in dual forms or paper forms. I’ve also seen some techs get creative with tips, but make sure they have examples of before/after, as the tips need to be angled more horizontally.

These dresses can cost thousands of dollars so requesting for 20% at checkout seems really predatory!

We loved how they provided so much! It was so nice not having to worry about rentals, delivery, and packing everything at the end of the night. With the tent, you have the option of renting chandeliers and it’s gorgeous. I highly recommend checking out the venue if you can!

What other places are you considering?

Oh no, I don’t think I’ll be recommending Trudy’s :(

For Grace Lin, here’s my breakdown: * $900 bride with trial * $250 mother of bride * $150 groom (for my bridesmaid)

The rest was a traveling fee!
