Fancy Nails

We moved & I was looking for a local place that consistently performed well.
They are ok, but not the best. Typically too rough — often left with bleeding due to over filing around skin. Owner sometimes complained too much.

If you’re looking for a place that’s going to woo you with fancy seats and lighting and possibly a glass of wine, this probably isn’t the place for you.
BUT, if you’re looking for a place that does amazing work with great lasting quality for an insanely low price (especially for the quality of materials used) this IS the place for you. Cindy is an absolute doll and does and amazing job.
Yes, you may have to wait even if you made an appointment, but that’s because when Cindy’s working on you you’re it in her world. You might have to wait your turn («GASP!»), but you’ll get in and she’s quick too.
My nails (solar french) last me WEEKS and I do not treat them gingerly. I can even paint them if I feel like it and remove the polish and the pink and white below, as well as the «shiny» is still in tact even using pure acetone. The girls at work are constantly shocked at how great they look and especially how long they last.
So, as long as you don’t have a stick up your you-​know-​what I’d be shocked if you didn’t love this place.

I went in with my mom to get a manicure. We were walk in and they took us right away plus the girl who did my nails was really nice. However she hacked my cuticles and it actually hurt and the filing on my nails was not smooth so I had to smooth them out then I got home. also the nail polish started to chip the next day. It last longer when I do my own nails at home. At least it was a fun time with my mom…

No frills nail salon – walked in today due to the advertised winter special ($ 10 mani), picked out a lovely neutral colour (all OPI polishes… a plus in my book!), and had an overall good experience.
The owner, Cindy, helped me today: she soaked my nails in warm soapy water, cleaned up my cuticles, and gave me a surprisingly strong arm/​hand massage before doing my nails. After I washed my hands, she proceeded to put a base coat (s?) on my nails, expertly applied two coats of polish, and topped it off with a clear top coat… one by one by one, check, check, check.
The ambiance isn’t necessarily luxurious or spa-​like, but it was nice to be able to come in sans appointment and get a no-​nonsense manicure in less than half an hour.

I’ve had really great pedicures here as well as manicures, but the last time my sister and I went, we made appointments for pedicures. We arrived early and the owner was seeing to a walk-​in who wanted a set of acrylics. She had her husband see to my sister and my pedicures. I sat with my feet soaking for over an hour before I was seen to, the water had become freezing cold by then. The walk-​in decided she wanted a pedicure before she left and she was taken care of before me, even though I had made an appointment and I had been sitting in cold water for an hour. Not the best service.

Great place to get a quick and cheap manicure! At first glance, this place looks extremely run down and old. But once you sit down and get started, it is actually an excellent experience. Their massage chairs were the best I’ve ever sat in, and the pedicure was long and luxurious. They spent a lot of time and effort on my feet which felt great and has lasted me a month and counting (the leg massage was great!) I got a French manicure and it lasted me 3 weeks without a single chip! All the nail polishes were clearly new and OPI brand which is hard to come by! There was no smell of acetone, which is also hard to come by. And the best part was that the nail techs didn’t chatter and gossip with each other at all! Aside from the run down décor and the fact that you can hear the music coming from McCabes next door, it was a really great experience and a very long lasting mani/​pedi! I’ll definitely be back!

I visited here as a spur of the moment walk in. It was fairly busy and pleasing enough. It was the first time I had ever had a full set so I had nothing to compare the process, but my friend said they were a little rough and the chemicals seemed to be strong.
Since I have been elsewhere and agree, it wasn’t bad, but I have found better.

I had called ahead of time to make an appointment for a full set of gel nails. I’ve been here before but what irks me most about this place was how long I had to wait after my appointment time. I called, the Laetrile me to come at 6:30pm. I get there at 6:20, she told me to wait, it’s 6:45 pm and I ask her how much longer (mind you there were ONLY her and another employee working, with one two girls finishing up, one starting a shellac mani, one girl waiting for a pedi and then me). She had the nerve to tell me she could take me at 7:15. Umm really? I walked out. As I mentioned earlier, this isn’t my first time having to wait past my appt but 45 min is ridiculous. I will never come back to this place again and recommend others to steer clear of this salon (unless of course you clear your whole day just to get your nails done).
