I've been committing to shellac and gel-based nails for 2-3 years now and I'm almost* always so happy with the service. The male nail technicians are better with nails that require more attention (crystals, designs & jewels). I don't get anything extravagant done but they still take time to perfect my nails to my liking.
I HAVE tried going to other salons (pmall and salons along yonge & finch) nothing compares to the way my nails turn out here.
*Just be aware of who you choose to get your nails done by
