TikToker Walks Out of Facial After Esthetician’s Rude Attitude

A TikTok creator who posts as @ryliebrii says she walked out of a facial appointment after the esthetician treated her with disrespect. According to the Daily Dot, her video about the experience has gathered 267,700 views and 526 comments.

A late start and a sour mood

Rylie said she booked the appointment to support her sister, whose friend was struggling to get an esthetician business going. The appointment was set for noon. Rylie arrived on time, but the esthetician was running late. She said she did not mind the wait, since traffic and other issues can cause delays.

Things changed when the esthetician arrived. Rylie said the woman seemed to have an attitude right away and appeared annoyed that the appointment time had come. She then led Rylie to the treatment room in a rude manner, according to the account.

Comments on her skin

Rylie said the esthetician snapped at her about getting onto the table and mentioned that she was having a bad day. Rylie said she understood that everyone has hard days, but did not think that excused the treatment.

She said she tried to stay calm and let the esthetician work. When she was asked about skin concerns and answered that she had none, the esthetician allegedly began pointing out flaws anyway. Rylie said the woman remarked on how red her face was and criticized other aspects of her appearance. She said she might have accepted feedback if it had been delivered kindly, but found it rude and offensive. She decided to leave.

Rylie said the esthetician then abruptly changed her tone, apologizing and asking her to stay. By then Rylie had made up her mind and left.

A different version from the friend

When Rylie later spoke with her sister’s friend, she heard another explanation. The esthetician reportedly claimed that Rylie’s sister kept sending her “awful girls” as clients. Rylie replied that she was an “awful girl” and reminded viewers that they can walk away when someone treats them poorly.

How viewers responded

Several commenters who work in the beauty industry weighed in. One esthetician wrote that none of their clients have ever known if they were having a bad day, because from the client’s view every day is their best. Another said they were taught in esthetician school that a person with a good experience might tell one or two people, while someone with a bad one will tell many more.

Another user noted that a facial is a nonessential service and said it makes no sense to pay for an unpleasant experience, praising Rylie for leaving. Many viewers backed her decision, while others questioned why the esthetician treated a potential client that way.

The Daily Dot said it could not independently verify the events described by @ryliebrii, and noted that the account reflects her perspective on the interaction.
