So far okay I went to go put the nails on and you did not have the same size nails for each hand or the same nail design for each hand.

Thanks Valentino for sharing your experience. You ordered our Trip Mode set. This design has created so that the pinky and thumb have the same design, and given everyone will have different sizes for their index, middle and pointer, we provide variations in designs in the remainder of the set.
It's interesting to know that the measurements of the same finger may be slightly different between your left and right hand, which is shown in the data, and may impact design consistency. Ultimately we want you to be pleased with your purchase - our ops team has reached out to see if we can increase your satisfaction and our 100% money back gaurantee covers you as well. Thank you for trying Talons - it means the world to us.

Use Your Own Glue
The nails come with adhesive already on them. This adhesive is not strong enough. It would be better if the adhesive strips came separately and were optional. It’s challenging to peel the adhesive strips off the nails so that I can just use nail glue instead. The nails stay on a lot better when I use my own glue. Additionally, for the cost, it would be much better if there were a greater quantity of nails in the package. The size range is sufficient. The sizes of the nails are great and I had no trouble finding the correct size for each finger. But I need greater quantities of each size. There should be at least four of each size. One for each hand. And one replacement for each hand. For how much I’m paying, this seems reasonable.

Nails were shaped for clubbed fingers
Nails were shaped for clubbed fingers. Tried to reach out to email support and the email address doesn’t work. The nails are cute and good quality, but the shapes are more likened to toenails. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have clubbed fingers.

Thanks for your feedback — we appreciate you giving Talons a try. Talons are shaped to fit a broad range of mens nail types, and we'll keep refining our fit based on feedback. It sounds like the curve on this set didn’t match your natural nail shape, which can happen. Our return policy covers these scenarios. Additionally, ensuring the correct end of Talons are applied to your cuticle will make a big difference in how well they feel and stay on.
Our support email is [email protected]. You can reach us anytime. Please note that Sasha also reached out to you directly.

Ummm, ya…
I would’ve given you a higher score probably if you would’ve given me more time to do it. It’s odd that someone would want feedback the day after I receive my shipment. A shipment that’s going to take time to fit and cut and trim and file. So I don’t know how the nails are going to work out yet. I do know that their packaging was nice. If not excessive. I would gladly pay much less without all of the overly done packaging. I found the clippers to be kind of comical. They are tiny. I guess if someone had no access to anything else that they would be better than nothing… But they need to be wider or not included at all. I don’t wanna pay for those every time I order nails. It’s a waste of money, especially when they are not the proper tool for the job. Those tiny fingernail clippers have a natural curve to them that does not work when you are cutting bigger nails. Nails that are made out of plastic. Please don’t forget you asked for the feedback. It’s going to take some time to try to figure out if these will work for me or not. I am going to go ahead and send you a review however, missing a couple of stars… For one reason only. I received 34 emails from you from the time I Ordered my nails until the time I received them. ALL ADVERTISING. I wish the shipping and tracking communications would have been as overtly sent as the advertising. Whoever you’re marketing person is has steered you wrong. The way you flooded me daily with advertising and offers… Before I even received my product, it’s a huge turn off. I will be unsubscribing and sending your website to spam, instead of it helping you keep repeat business… Your over sending of emails begging me for more money… Are going to cost you a customer. No matter how good the product is I won’t deal with that. I’ve never done business with a company and had this severe of a onslaught of unwanted and unsolicited advertising from the company before I even laid eyes on the product I purchased from them. I couldn’t unsubscribe or try to block your messages for fear that I would miss something that might possibly have to do with delivery. Just something for you to think about in the future. If you have a quality product, people will want it but what they don’t want is someone ringing their doorbell every 30 seconds asking for more money.
Let your product speak for itself… We know your website… We know how to get in touch with you if we want more… Send us an email a couple of times per month…. What you were doing absolutely DID THE DEAL for me. I’m out.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. As a new business still in our early stages (we just launched Sept 30th), we’re simultaneously developing new processes and learning as we go. This feedback helps our team identify blind spots with a focus on improving the customer experience. You’re right about the timing of our review request - it didn't make sense to ask for feedback before you've had a chance to properly wear and experience the product. We pushed back requesting feedback to a week post delivery to give time for customers to get a full feel for the product, including post-usage removal.
Designer nails for men is a novel idea, and clippers are a key tool as most men will want to trim their nails to the same length as their natural nail. We'll be upgrading to a clipper that is wider as part of our Winter '26 drop. Having it in every kit is one that we've debated as a team. As we grow we'll give customers options on if they want to get more than 1 tool as we don't know if multiple sets will be for the same customer or given out as gifts.
The emails were overly excessive and upon review we found overlapping email flows existed. We've adjusted our flow with a focus on providing service to communicate messages such as tracking updates, fit tips, or product care as part of the post-purchase experience, instead of up-selling. We never want our enthusiasm to feel like noise, and we certainly overdid it.
Regarding packaging, I'm going for a premium look and feel with Talons, and recognize it may not be the most important part of the experience to all, while it plays a larger role with others. Men need more things to feel excited about, and that's the experience I've aimed for with it.
Thank you again for your purchase of Talons and sharing your experience thus far. You have our commitment to continue to improve, and with that, we would love to hear more from you after you have had more time with Talons.
