| - Such a fan of this place! I've had Yuki and Cara work on my nails in a couple of occasions and they were so careful & detail oriented. I've gotten shellac on all my visits, and the polish lasted well beyond the two weeks and stayed perfect. I've gotten a pedicure only once (as it is winter and my gross toes can stay in boots), but they were really awesome with that as well.
The salon itself is really clean and gives you a spa-like feel, without the spa-like prices. I honestly used to go to these dingy little mall nail salons while I was living in Markham, and it is a nice change of pace now that I live downtown and can stop living like a peasant. The staff is really friendly, and caters to every type of clientele it seems - they'll chat with you and smile at your dumb jokes if you're the talkative type, but if you want to avoid the awkward and stay quiet they're not going to try to talk about your feelings with you.
The price for shellac is $35+ tax, and sure, sure it's a little pricy considering you can do that at those aforementioned mall salons for cheap, but the service is definitely not the same. I wanted a dark blue colour with a bit of a sheen, and they didn't have any existing colours matching my description, so Cara awesomely customized my own shade and it looked awesomeeeee x 10.
Bonus hand/shoulder massages while you wait for your nails to dry.
A+!
