3.5 STARS
Walking by this place a few weeks ago I really thought it was a bar/lounge! Right beside Wilbur's on King W I thought it made sense. Until I saw nail polish on the back wall. Taking a closer look I realized it was a nail bar (emphasis on bar as there is a full service bar here!)
So of course I booked some pedis for me and my friends. This is a chic nail place on King W so expect King W prices. My pedi was $45 which included a mini foot/leg massage. My friend's ultimate manicure was $60 but included a neck/shoulder/back massage and I think she got a moisturizing hand treatment as well.
The staff are friendly - there is a long bar and juice bar at the front. Reception is towards the back. They take your coats and you can choose your colours from the wall. It would be better if the shelves were lower as I couldn't see anything on the top shelf. Bonus however - they do use higher end polishes - Lippman and some other brands that I heard were natural options. All beautiful colours. You won't get Essie or OPI like at your local salon here.
I have to say the cocktails here are delicious - pricey but delicious. But you only live once so definitely indulge.
The pedicure space is lovely - you feel like you are on those cottage decks, relaxing - the chairs are those white summer deck chairs. They keep their tools in what reminds me of those old school toolboxes - wooden, open at the top. It's really quaint actually. I loved my pedicure and after 10 days there still isn't a chip! There are about 5-6 chairs for pedis so definitely book online - the weekends are quite busy.
This place also has a station at the back for hair/makeup - about 4-5 chairs.
I wouldn't go here regularly as I don't live in the area and while it's good for a treat or special occasion I couldn't afford the upkeep.
But I may just come back for the cocktails :)
