So I read all these glowing reviews for Aphrodite Spa & Nails and thought it was worth a go.
My experience was not so glowing!
I used to live near the Danforth and frequented Urban Nails and was always satisfied with their service. I thought Aphrodite would be a step up.
Well it was a step up in price, that's for sure!
Here are the reasons I did not like this place.
1) The price was over $10 more for a mani-pedi
2) The Shellac colour selection was poor
3) My cuticles were ravaged and three were bleeding after
4) The nail polish was not applied across the whole nail. You can clearly see the tips of my nails and the sides.
5) They did my mani-pedi at the same time, with out asking, killing the whole relaxing experience for me....leaning awkwardly to one side the whole time.
6) Adding the Shellac sky rocketed the price even further.
The last reason was I thought the employees were rude. There was another client there and she was quite demanding, and it was painfully obvious that the nail salon employees were talking about her in another language, a la Seinfeld.
Needless to say I'm going to go back to Urban Nails next time. This place is not worth the money at all!
