This place is a gem! This is my go-to pedicure spot. They pay close attention to detail and I always leave with very pretty feet. I haven’t gotten a shellac manicure in a while but they always did a good job on that as well. I’ve been going there for 1 ½ years now(most recently last Tuesday) and do not have any complaints.

I have been getting my nails done by Cindy and Diana for two years(Shellac mani every two weeks & pedi every 4 weeks). I also get Diana to do my brows(wax & tint) every few weeks. My cuticles are always perfectly trimmed & they use this great machine on the feet that makes them so soft. I did find that because I get my nails done so frequently, my cuticles get a bit too much attention — I had to ask Cindy to be a little easier on them, but she listened to me & always remembers this request when I come in. I’m a perfectionist and I have literally NEVER been disappointed. These women are amazing. Honestly — I don’t understand how the review below is even possible. I used to pay top salon prices to get my nails done & now I get better quality for half the price. Definitely my favourite!

I took my girlfriend and I for manis and pedis for her birthday at Victoria nails and spa and the service was pretty good. There was very little wait time, they did a nice job, we were happy with our colors and it took a really long time for my nails to chip! The only reason I docked stars is because the guy that used the dremel on my feet was incredibly rough. he ran it across the tips of my little toes(which I found odd, and I have never had done before) and he went too low. and now I have a sore on my toe. I dont think this would discourage me from going again, but next time I would have a discussion before they used the dremel!

Victoria Nails took me in without an appointment(although I would recommend making one because they look packed!), and gave an excellent manicure. My biggest pet peeve is leaving the salon and there being spaces between your nail and cuticle when it’s fresh. There are no spaces on mine(see red polish pics). They also give awesome hand massages at the end! On top of it all Kensington is my favourite part of the city and there are tons of cute pubs and coffee shops around to make a perfect girls day out of it. I will definitely keep going!

Just had my nails done and what a huge disappointment. Cindy the owner did them, took 1 hour and 45 mins which is ridiculous. She was very rough, nails aren’t the same size and don’t even look alike. I wear them long and she cut them like that but filed them so many times they are less than ¾ the size I wanted. Cost was $ 63.00 and a total waste of my money, boo!

This place is great! The price is fair and their service is very good. It is not a fancy salon but they do a good job!

The most amazing shellac manicure I have ever gotten. Cuticles were trimmed with precision and care… no unfortunate aftermath(i.e. peeling, infection, pain) and polish was applied immaculately. I frequented another salon in Calgary bi-weekly for a regular shellac manicure that usually chipped 1.5 weeks in, but this manicure has lasted me through moving houses: lifting/heaving boxes, setting up bed frames and dressers, etc. and not even the tiniest chip or scratch can be found. I want to say I paid around ~$ 46 after tip which I can totally justify… seeing how I was paying ~$ 20 for a shellac polish change twice a month previously. A friend who recommended this salon has shellac manicures that last up to a month and so far, it’s looking like mine will be lasting that long too!

My go to place to get my eyebrows and upper lip waxed as well as shellac mani and pedi! These girls are good at what they do and are friendly and fairly quick and efficient. I pay about 23 for eyebrow and lip waxing. 60 – 70 for shellac mani and pedi.

I won’t go back to Victoria since I got an infection under my thumb gel nail. When I went back to this salon, the owner seemed preturbed and gave me ‘medicine’ to put on it. She drew on a flower over the gel nail, trying to hide the green fungus under my nail. She made me feel like it was my fault. When I was getting the last set of gel nails done, the technician was doing someone else at the same time. I was horrified and should have said something. Definitely goes against all hygiene rules. Will never… EVER go back here.

This is by far the BEST nail place ever for gel nails! Some nail places apply acrylic and charge you for gel nails but not this one! You can definitely tell they do quality work. Ask for Cindy she’s my girl she does amazing work!!!

Let me first say that the ladies at this spa do a mean pedicure(if your willing to pay 70.00), however, I had the most horrific waxing experience there ever. I have extremely sensitive skin, and I’m used to a little tenderness here and there after a thorough waxing, but I was missing so much skin that I was bleeding when I got home! I DONOT recommend any women go to this salon for a Brazilian EVER. The amount of bruising and missing skin was outrageous and the worst part was that she missed half the hair! Ladies be warned. Take your waxing needs somewhere else, or risk meeting the same fate as I did.
