Visited Fri March 30 for a manicure.
Thank-you for being open on Good Friday!
The manager Tony explained that gels are the same as shellac, I never really understood what the difference was. Lux just opened a 2nd location at Bathurst/Steeles that is much larger than this location. Tony manages to remember most of the customers just based on memory and a paper appointment book impressive!
Pros
Hundreds of colours to choose from, customers mainly choose from the 4 binders.
Fast service, can feel a bit rushed at times.
Equipment is individually sterilized and opened from a package which is something that you should be looking for in a nail salon.
Cons
The technicians don't have nametags and are talking in viet, I guess it's a part of the nail bar experience.
Walk-ins rarely accommodated, 95% of customers make an appointment.
Prices aren't listed on the wall, refer to the printed postcard.
Cash and debit only, no credit card.
Protip - Mornings until 3pm best times to make an appointment.
Damage - $15 for (tax included, before tip).
