This is a couple of months overdue (sorry Natalia!) but I have to 100% agree with every single other five-star review.
Natalia is not only great at what she does, but she is a genuinely nice person who really goes above and beyond to make your experience enjoyable. I found out about Natalia while searching (on Yelp of course) for decent salons close to my work. I took a look at the amazing prices and her reviews and figured I had nothing to lose by giving her a shot. It took a couple of months before I could actually get in for an appointment (that's how busy she is!) but the wait was well worth it.
I ended up having a shellac manicure done and I have to say, it was one of the best, if not the best I have ever had. Natalia's home is so cute and quaint and located in the heart of downtown Toronto. Right away, I was offered a glass of wine and was made to feel very at home. We chatted the entire time but if you are someone who would rather not talk during these appointments, then Natalia also has the newest DVD releases playing behind her on her Apple desktop computer. She has a good selection of colours and took the time to really clean up my nail beds and cuticles, without ripping them half to death like some other salons do.
By the time we were finished, I was so pleased with the outcome that I had to immediately recommend my best friend to her :)
Thanks so much Natalia - I will be booking my next appointment soon!
