Thank you, nail gods! YYC can finally compete in this beauty realm.
I heard about this nail salon from a Yelper-- she raved about the service at Exquisite Nails & Spa and is a regular there.
I have to say my bar was set pretty high by salons in Toronto and New York but upon reassurance from Yelp, I booked my appointment, got my nails done and was super thrilled! Like, I almost "hugged all the nail technicians at the salon" kinda thrilled!
Exquisite Nails has the friendliest staff-- they're attentive, welcoming and knowledgeable about the trends. I came prepared with photos, diagrams and samples and I didn't even have to break them out-- they knew exactly what I was talking about and were a step ahead of me: offering designs or gem work without any additional costs. This is almost unheard of in the nail-world!
Tracey and Natalie did mine and my sister's nails. Tracey is the sweetest. She talked to me throughout my entire salon and greeted many clients by their first name. A signal to me, that people like their honest and amazing service. Speaking of honesty, when I booked my appointment over the phone, I was told that it was $55 for a new set (solar or regular acrylic) with two nail designs (as long as it wasn't too complicated) and guess what? THAT'S WHAT I PAID.
I will definitely be back! And I will spread the word about this awesome salon. I'm such a fan!
