Really awesome place!!! I had my shellac removed and bio gel applied by an older lady whose name I did not catch.
She tried to use an electric file to remove the shellac, which i was not comfortable with, so she switched to wraps right away, which i really appreciated.
She didnt do much about my cuticles. im not sure if thats just the process (i have never gotten a bio gel manicure before) or if she didnt think i needed it? maybe she forgot, but my cuticles are pretty well kept, so i did not really mind this.
holy crap, the woman can file! she didnt ask me what shape i wanted, but the nice even square shape i ended up with was so nice and so consistent across all of my nails!
By the time the actual bio gel was applied, I was not at all surprised that it came out looking absolutely flawless. She even added an extra coat of color at my request.
The place itself is not very pretty or spacious, but I have been to enough nice looking places with horrible manicurists to know that the quality of service matters way more. The manicurists mostly spoke among themselves in vietnamese (maybe?), but did not completely ignore me, which to me is the perfect amount of interaction during a manicure lol. The location is also quite convenient- but honestly, $30 before tax and tip for such a perfect bio gel means i would hunt this place down even if it moved to the deepest parts of Scarborough.
