I used to work in Square One Shopping Centre and the salon offered 50% off for a first time client (also offered a mall discount). Anyways, I am a HUGE nail person - acrylics, gels, shellac, manicures and pedicures..I am the GO TO girl for this stuff. I've probably tried 95% of the nail salons and spas in the GTA and have found maybe 5% of that 95% that are satisfactory.
The experience overall was enjoyable. I was taken right away. The salon is very clean - 5 stars for that! I watched them disinfect the pedicure chair after a client and the process what definitely was 100% satisfactory to being clean and disinfected, I wouldn't fear putting my feet in there. I was only getting a shellac manicure and the technician was very nice and sociable - as all the ladies in the room were. The colour selection was horrible! I like very bright colours that POP like flip flop fantasy (my fellow nail girls will understand). I chose a light pink because it was the nicest one. The manicure was okay, nothing too special. She did the shellac and it was decent but I've seen better in little ghetto nail salons. She didn't ask what shape I wanted my nails which really bothered me because I am SUPER specific.
I paid and went back to work and was really upset because the next day the shellac already started to chip.
Wouldn't spend the money here, would rather go somewhere else.
