AKAnails & Spa

Excellent service, ambience and expertise. I had a pedicure… very well done without the usual over scraping, and concluded with a really in depth lower leg massage. I’d go back just for the pampered feel despite the higher price compared to other places.

The owner is very rude. Was busy getting her pedicure and did not even attend other customers. When asked to book an appointment, did not seem very interested. No customer service! I went to this place after reading the reviews, however i just discovered that the reviews are not genuine as they are all the relatives who work there and have just posted reviews to attract customers!

Love this place. Easy to get appointments that work for me. Staff are fun, professional and excellent at the services they provide. I highly recommend AKA nails. No one person in particular, they are all great.

I had my nails done here yesterday. They’ve got really great staff. The place isn’t as big as others but they do a good job. Appointments are recommended, although you can try to walk in and see if they have an opening. They also do make-​up and waxing. My friend got waxing done, she was really happy with it. They have nail polish that changes colors under different temperatures, like a mood ring, thought that was pretty cool. There’s parking behind the store front in the condo garage which is free and convenient.

I would have given a 4.5 but that’s not an option. Great manicure and the shellac lasts long. They had a great selection of colours. The girls working there are really friendly and do speak English which makes it easier to explain what you want done, converse and know what’s going on.
This place is pretty new and really nicely decorated! Convenient for ttc users as it’s right across Downsview station, and they offer free parking in the back. The pricing is average, 35 bucks for a shellac mani. But a nice thing is on certain days of the week they have deals for discounted services.
The only reason for an imperfect rating is that it wasn’t THE best manicures (in terms of shaping my nails, as they were too short and not as square as I prefer) I’ve had. But definitely one of the better ones– Will for sure be going back!

Great service, attentive staff! Very pleasant atmosphere! Salon interior could use some work, it’s mainly a bit cluttered, but the great staff make up for it. Highly recommend!

Best pedi/​mani ever!!! The ladies did my nails and my 2 daughters and my daughter said, ‘looks like I have actually never had a real pedicure until now!’
This is a really professional and friendly salon!

The area of Allen rd. and Sheppard is very empty and barely has any stores. So having a nail spa right where nothing else can be found is in itself awesome and very convenient.
The salon itself is very nicely decorated. It’s obvious they’ve spent time and money to make the place look very modern. It shows that the owners actually care about the business and having the clients enjoy the atmosphere. The owner herself works there and is very pleasant and personable. Herself and the other ladies there will always strike up a comfy conversation with you while they do a fantastic job on the nails. They speak English 95% of the time, which I appreciate a lot. If you’re a regular nail salon visitor you know that sometimes when everyone that works in the salon is speaking a different language, you can’t help but wonder if they’re speaking about you. So it’s very nice to know what’s being said the whole time I’m there lol
I usually get shellac nails, and I’ve had different ladies do my nails. Each time I’ve requested my nails the specific way I wanted it and they gave me exactly what I wanted. They also have lots of new products and colours all the time. They had a big variety of the colour change shellac before even my other salon that’s in the mall had any colours at all. So you’ll be getting the latest trend for sure if you’re looking for variety and fun.
Service is great, the ladies are friendly, atmosphere is relaxed, price is on par with every other salon… what else could a girl ask for? Or a guy ;)
