I can't understand why this place received any less. What do you expect for a $20 shellac manicure? Clearly it's an Asian nail salon. If you take issue with that (or the manicurists speaking their language while working, which is pretty standard for asian salons) go to a more expensive joint.
I gave Beauty Line 5 stars for the following reasons:
Price! Where else can you find a $20 gel manicure? I mean really, even small towns charge more. I would like to correct one thing though. The manicure you're getting isn't shellac, it's actually a gel / UV manicure, which in my experience lasts longer and is better. Shellac is the brand name. They use OPI gel at Beauty Line, which is much better. Oh, and removal is ONLY $5!! I absolutely didn't see anyone reusing acetone. That is ridiculous.
Location! This place is right at the corner of King and Bathurst. Super close to my (and many other) condos and convenient for TTC.
Colour selection. It is literally massive. Definitely the most I've ever seen for gel / shellac.
Quality. They stand by their work and will repair if it chips in the first two weeks.
And the kicker?? You get an absolutely amazing shoulder massage at the end of your manicure. For free. I mean, it's included. Included in the $20...which is nothing at all to begin with.
Bottom line? Support Beauty Line, go often, and tip well!
