New to acrylics.. Is this normal?

I am typically a big gel and natural nails girl, but recently was gifted a credit for one of the best rated local salons, so I decided to give acrylics a try since it felt free. I have always wanted to try them for the additional length and durability so I have been super excited!

I absolutely adore how they look from the top, however I am not sold on the side view. I feel my nails have more of a hump and angle than I was expecting. They also seem to sit quite high on my fingers and I can still see my natural nails poke out on the side a bit.

Just wondering if this is what to expect with acrylics, because if so I’ll likely switch back to gel - no harm done. But if this isn’t “normal” then I am wondering if i should try another nail tech? Im just not really wanting to pay another $120+ to test it out, but I really do want to stick with acrylics.. help!
