Julia’s Nails

I got shellac nails for the first time and I love it! The service is quick and the nail technician was also very nice. I am definitely coming back!

Horrible!
I went in there to get one nail repaired (I currently have UV Gel Nails, and didn’t have the time or patience to get it repaired where it was done originally). The nail was done by the owner/​manager. She asked me, «all your nails are fake?» They were, and I had asked her to do uv gel on the broken nail. I didn’t even mind paying extra, just so everything would be the same. This lady cut my nail down (I told her not to) and then she proceeded to apply this powder to my nail. I know what the difference between gel nail application and acrylic. And I know for sure what was put on my finger nail today was acrylic. She said it was UV gel powder. Wtf? Well anyways, never going back there. I should’ve went to Pacific Mall, where my nails have always been done.
Dont expect much customer service. The employees talking amongst themselves, and a girl was eating about 5 ft away from me, where people’s nails were getting done. Gross!

I wish I could even rate the services at this salon however the second I walked in I immediately felt the need to turn around and RUN! Random flip flops were scattered across the floor and one of the «technicians» was eating her lunch on the table which she gestured me over to with a mouth full of food. I almost did until the final strike came when I heard a dog bark and and saw it shaking and running around the salon. Im not sure if this is a nail salon, cafeteria or groomers but you can bet I wont be paying $ 55 for anything coming out of this place. DISGUSTED!

Quite appalled with their lack of communication towards clients’ wants and requests.
I went to this salon some months back (In April, I believe) and had asked for a shellac manicure as I was not in the mood to do full gel nails but wanted something that would last for a long period of time. The girl that did my nails seemed professional at the beginning and gave me ample amounts of time to choose my color, I ended up going with OPI’s Bubble Bath in their Gel Formula.
When it came to prepping, I asked her to keep my length and not file it down too much, and if possible not file at all. This was because at the time, I was growing out my nails and didn’t want to shorten them seeing as I was fine with different lengths on different fingers. She seemed weirded out and said that it would look strange the way my nails were. «Oh it’s alright, I’m trying to grow them out so I don’t want to lose any length if possible» was my response.
She proceeded to file and buff them. My thumb nail was fairly short due to a break at the time and the length could have been salvaged by just filling away the tiny chip. But to even it out with my other hand, she filed all the way down and essentially hit skin. She then used a buffing block too roughly and managed to cut a cuticle on one of my fingers so they were sore from all the rough surface buffing.
After she was done, my nail polish looked … ugh. It was a bit too thick, making my nails look obviously fake and ‘blocky’ (it looked like 5 – 6 layers… thick layers.) and I really wasn’t pleased.
It lasted almost a week before it started peeling. Would I go back? Likely not.

I went to this nail salon a few hours ago and I was not impressed either, not a welcoming hello or anything, the woman didn’t even change the towel from the previous customer it had some other persons dirty nails cut on it, and I had asked for a manicure with white tips on the ends and I was given a terrible nail job .they applied the top coating whatever it’s called way too thick and my nails were filed uneven! When I pointed this out to the lady she got upset and held my fingers aggressively after that then she said okay I’m done now pay me! I ask her to remove them because I wasn’t happy and she said no… I ended up paying 28 plus tax and then when I left I said goodbye and no one would answer and reply back very rude I’m never going there again… I seriously caution anyone in the future not to go there … I’m seriously thinking about calling the administration office at parkway mall to see what can be done at this place maybe close them down too many people going there and have to pay but we’re unsatisfied with the results!!!

I went here for my first and last time. I went to the mall to get my services done because I figured they would be cleaner then the other nail salons. From the outside it looks nice, inside looks unorganized but I went ahead and did my manicure and pedicure anyways. The pedicure was super rushed, but I guess that’s why they charge 20 dollars. The nail files and buffers did not look clean at all. Worst thing ever was after she finished painting she tried to put these dirty flip flops on me! Why the hell don’t they have disposable ones? That grossed me out and I refused to wear them. After that she did my manicure, that wasn’t any better, again everything was dirty! They didn’t even have any visible disinfectant, all I saw was alcohol. Which she sprayed my cuticle cutter with before she cut my cuticles. To properly clean tools they must be put in disinfectant for at least 10 minutes, and then sprayed with alcohol. They clearly have no idea how to sanitize anything. Even the thing I put my hands in was covered in dirt. Everything was filthy, I hope I don’t end up with nail fungus. Please do not waste your time and money going here. If I could give this place zero stars i would!

Definitely more expensive than your typical nail salon but the typical substandard job it seems. Everyone was talking to each other in another language which bothered my friend a lot. She said it was rude and make you feel like they’re talking about you. (I find its usually a trade off for the price of cheaper salons but at the price Julia’s charged they could provide a bit better service). Went with my friend and I was lucky enough to get someone who took their time, my friend got someone who wished through hers even after telling her she wasn’t in a hurry (She got started 10 minutes later and was done around the same time). My technician was good and the massage chairs were nice but the polish started bubbling and peeling off in two days. I’m not too surprised as there was a half-​ass job done on the base coat (slathered on, only in the middle, in a rush) and no top coat.
Since my other friend gave such glowing reviews of the place for her eyebrows I decided to opt in to that too. I don’t know if it’s the lotion she used afterwards or the temperature of the wax or just sanitary reasons but the skin is still itching/​burning more than a week later. I’ve had my eyebrows threaded, waxed and sugared before and I’ve never had this reaction. Yes, I have sensitive skin but the feeling never lasts more than a day.
For those who came looking for prices: Pedicure $ 30, Manicure $ 15?, Eyebrows (waxed) $ 10. No discount for paying cash (yes my friend asked Lol) They do have deals during the week too but that just brings their prices down to cheap salons. Don’t know if it’s worth the price for polish that bubbles and flakes after two days.

Had a manicure and pedicure here. The service here was average, the girls just chatted with one another and didn’t really create conversation with me or my friend. They also weren’t very attentive either.
Overall I wasn’t very impressed by their customer service but the manicure and pedicure was okay. I probably wouldn’t go back there again.

Decent nail spot in Scarborough Town centre.
I stopped in because I had time to kill in the mall, and I wanted to prevent myself from buying any new clothes.
The place feels a bit disorganized, but that seems to be the norm in some nail bars, so I’m not that put off by it all.
There were several customers being served when I walked in, but I didn’t have to wait long to be served. It was clear from some of the conversations I overheard that there were some regular customers in that day, so that also makes me feel a bit more trusting in the place.
I liked the service, and I tried shellac nails for the first time; it’s been two weeks, and as promised my nails still look perfect!

I dont usually get my nails done Im not a nail GURU, but when my job rewards me with a little extra cash, I will get my nails done. I came here about 3 times to get my nails done. Only once I got my nails done. The two other times I just walked in. You need to book an appoinment, especially if its a Friday night. It was super busy. I liked my nails. I just got a basic manicure. Next time though I would eliminate the cuticle cutter thing, it hurts me. Not sure how they are with the other services but mine was great and the person who did it for me was fast.
